Something kinda cool is that we can do Microsoft logo with torchs now

Microsoft objects

[agile matrix]

did the update come out?

[rough path]

Last year!

[agile matrix]

the NPM packages already did...

[half depot]

Pack it up chat, time to go back to windows xp

[pure gull]

I'm not sure, but it's on my release stable now

[rough path]

Did the copper golem sort the wrong packages yesterday?

[pure gull]

I needed to research about minecraft modding on windows xp, because my childhood wasn't about programming unfortunately

[rough path]

Well @vast bolt

Added methods to Block scripting API that allows creators to get the total light level and the sky light level at a specific position

[zenith aspen]

[native osprey]

one day we get method to set light level in area

[rough path]

Me when light block.

[vast bolt]

I think this just adds the existing methods on to the block class, not a new method for only block light

[rough path]

Yeah haha. I misread.

[native osprey]

huh?
it's not the same
if you mean that light block

[rough path]

How are you supposed to set light lol.

[stoic junco]

huh, what did you do

[vast bolt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ1hXvGiXNM
Last weeks preview, using the light API.
With #879773489601585244 message I would be able to show mob spawning positions during the daytime

[tribal walrus]

why can't i change my skin without an internet connection!?

[devout barn]

Can't wait for someone to add the glare using this

[quasi wedge]

Didn't they already tease that the glare was coming?

at least it felt that way in the initial trailer that showed copper golems

[celest sluice]

Speaking of teasers, what was the deal with that question mark in a dug up sand hole?

[devout barn]

I always thought that was just another hint to new copper stuff, because copper is found underground

[celest sluice]

Rigghhht. Copper a couple blocks below the surface of a beach...

[crisp warren]

the new copper tools are starting to grow on me

ive been playing all day today and i have not used an iron pickaxe at all, i just don’t feel the need to get iron tools ASAP for early-game building anymore because the copper tools’ mining speed is actually good enough to be useful for gathering lots of wood and stone

[cerulean quarry]

yea, also iron is pretty expensive in the middle game as well compared to cooper for axes best choice, unless you have villagers trading diamond axes for few emeralds

depends

but tools are pretty nice

armor sucks in general

David (@cornerhard.bsky.social)

There's a new Edit World screen for Realms in Preview! While it looks familiar, there's actually a lot of exciting stuff going on under the surface.

When finished, we'll have a new packs/add-on system that will improve management and get rid of the "Unknown Pack" message😀

[tribal torrent]

its joever

they promoted an end update add-on, they’d never want to compete with that with an actual end update

[quasi wedge]

There's no correlation

[shadow mason]

First Mojang needs to be even able to compete

and it really doesn't feel like they are

[quasi wedge]

There's no correlation

[manic tinsel]

Mojang don't sit and look at Addons going great guess we can't do that anymore.
I would think they rather look at them and go "Oh thats cool maybe something for us to think about in the future"
Mojang have their own personal goals and ideas.

Also Editorial is not the game dev team so what they do/promote does not show the direction of a huge studio

[tribal torrent]

at least not for a while

[native osprey]

this is just big corporation "stuff"
dude who posted it may not even know what the end is

[tropic chasm]

Mojang is simply supporting studios

Don’t get sad maybe there’s an end update one day

If you think about it carefully the end is very dark and they recently added various light source blocks that can ONLY mean the end update is near

[tribal torrent]

):

[charred ocean]

That's something good for realms

[tropic chasm]

No cap

[rich vault]

Cap 😔

[cerulean quarry]

Why everyone complain i actually like that, you don't have to hold it and it won't get lost

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rich vault]

Idk, posted it for the meme. I don't mind it either, and if it actually helps the environment in some way then it's a good change imo

[tropic chasm]

No cap

[cerulean quarry]

Ohh cap

[shadow mason]

We're so back baby

[cerulean quarry]

real

[heady sable]

It depends on the bottle manufacture if is easy enough to open/close the cap. Some caps are impossible to close and causes your drink/product to just stay half open

[cerulean quarry]

never really happend to me yet

[cerulean quarry]

this actually looks like the case but we in our country have really deep caps so its relatively easy to just close them

but you are right bc each brand has it a bit different

[spring arrow]

Wtf?!??!

[sleek grail]

It's not real

[limber tiger]

Mojang being dumb as fuck ep 15411

that's the MERS for Gray Dye

and that's for the green one

[ionic ocean]

Be nice. It was probably automated.

[limber tiger]

It's even WORSE

[ionic ocean]

All you can do is send feedback (not to the Mojangers here — they don't work on vanilla content). Maybe campaign on social media. Or fix it in your own pack.

[limber tiger]

That's not our job to fix Mojang mistakes

[ionic ocean]

It shouldn't be — no.

[limber tiger]

And a bug report is already created

[ionic ocean]

But there are objective mistakes in every game I've ever played. Some get fixed; some don't. Hopefully they'll listen to this one.

[limber tiger]

Plus, a bunch of textures related bug are never fixed

[ionic ocean]

But "Mojang being dumb as fuck ep 15411" as a broad-scale statement when there are a bunch of passionate Mojangsters here ain't it.

[limber tiger]

It's not like textures quality since game drops is already not great

It gets worse every updates

[eternal shoal]

why is it metalic?

[limber tiger]

Mojang art team if you like, not the other team

[limber tiger]

According to Jappa on a discord, it's a plate below the dyes so it might be the reason why

[eternal shoal]

plates are not metalic most of the time

[sleek grail]

Well, that doesn't mean this one isn't

[edgy abyss]

I knew it, cici got replaced by an chatgpt model

The dash

[shadow mason]

Replaced? There never was a human to begin with

[torn pond]

the new shelf item placement reminds me how nice it'd be to be able to do this.

just be able to put items anywhere without them despawning, and with them being properly placed there and not floating.

(also bring back rana)

[sonic musk]

MY BOI

[torn pond]

also yeah we need the quiver back :<

also the leather-chainmail armor

[sonic musk]

quiver should be back once they figure out the tipped arrows and combat
I'm delusional

[torn pond]

i mean, whats there to do with tipped arrows

they need to port the bedrock system to java

[sonic musk]

ig yeah
bedrock system is pretty easy
i just hate the inventory clutter really

[torn pond]

i think quivers would be good if they were like, a bundle for arrows that cycled through arrows you put in it.

[limber tiger]

just thought about something, 1.21.100 is relasing in september

[torn pond]

So, you can put up to a stack of arrows in the quiver, and then order how you want them to shoot.

and then every time you shoot an arrow it'd go to the next one in order

this isn't a perfect system as it doesn't take into account "what if you miss"

but itd be somewhat useful i think

[torn pond]

also i am very curious what they'll do when they eventually try to go for another combat update.

i hope they don't just give us the cooldowns on bedrock.

[sonic musk]

yes the perfect way to put it
bundles for arrows

[torn pond]

the cooldowns, ridiculously high axe damage, and way too fast healing from food are not good on java, and i'd rather not have those on bedrock.

[sonic musk]

idk about healing thing
THIS IS the biggest gripe for be on bedrock
I eat and eat but take like 3-4 mins to heal

yeah they gotta redo the axe tho

[torn pond]

I think they should make healing faster on easy and maybe medium (keep it as is on hard)

but not the java system.

the java system means a golden carrot is better than an enchanted golden apple or a potion of regen

[sonic musk]

that's smart

[torn pond]

more differences between difficulties as a whole would be ideal

[sonic musk]

difficulty based healing

[torn pond]

tbh i'd like a full on difficulty update

which turns the difficulties from just "mobs deal more damage and have a higher chance of armor and stuff" to a list of settings with all the current difficulties being turned into presets of those settings

image i made a few months ago as an example of this

not necessarily these settings (as this was made with the concept of also bringing back customized worlds, which is why you have ore spawning rates mixed in)

but this general concept

[sonic musk]

I think mobs wear armor is a great addition

what is bed difficulty supposed to do

[torn pond]

so you know how, back in the older versions, sleeping outside would just cause mobs to wake you up?

that'd be the "hard" bed difficulty.

[sonic musk]

ohhhh

[torn pond]

i think there'd also be an option for no skipping nights.

and easy is current but no phantoms

[sonic musk]

ig yeah
also on mob ai getting smarter maybe
or you included that in the mob damage section

[torn pond]

I mean i guess they could also do that.
this isn't a complete list of all the settings they should have for this

more just a concept

also the "presets" button would go with challenge modes.

[sonic musk]

💀 i'm thinking lag spikes as a difficulty on java

[torn pond]

so like peaceful to hard are technically presets but they're basic presets.

but the ones behind that button would be stuff like hardcore, or ultra easy, or 1 heart challenge, etc.

maybe a classic style, no sprinting, no hunger, no sleeping

[sonic musk]

Ultra Hard

Extreme

Ultimate

Extra Ultimate

before they do that they gotta add an option to lock the difficulty on bedrock

[torn pond]

overall i think this sort of update would really add a lot to the game.
right now, you have people saying Minecraft is too easy, and people saying it needs to be even easier than it already is. You can't balance the game around everyone, and the current difficulty settings don't do a good job at that.

so, let players have more control over stuff as well as letting difficulty do more than it currently does.

gamerules already do some of this but they're locked behind cheats on bedrock (besides a few, like turning off sleeping), and still a lot of them are on/off.

(please make it so doInsomnia isn't a cheat mojang)

[sonic musk]

we agree that game needs update

at the core systems

[torn pond]

yeah
i want the updates to be done in a way that don't interfere with people who don't want them, but that add more options.

If you like the way the game is now, this difficulty rework changes nothing for you, you could keep playing exactly as you were.

but if you want a fun challenge, here you go

or want to just disable a specific thing (phantoms)

[sonic musk]

basically the new addition should be the improvment to old core system but
the old system stays mostly the same

[torn pond]

yeah

the 3 updates i want the most at this point are:

• this difficulty rework
• customized worlds and a bunch of other world settings (including all the old world generators as options)
• block-built boats

[sonic musk]

For me personally

• gamerule rework
• redstone parity
• offhand
• pointlights for block states - VV only

[torn pond]

the thing about redstone parity is idk how you do it in a way that doesn't break stuff.

[sonic musk]

break it

[dawn fable]

I agree

[sonic musk]

break the game

[torn pond]

also yeah point light improvements in general (and regular coloured lighting as a separate thing that doesn't rely on VV) would be fun.

[sonic musk]

we getting too comfortable
WE need chaos 🦹

[torn pond]

but then
in what way? Do you add the java bugs to bedrock, or make bedrock redstone weird?

[dawn fable]

get rid of the java bugs, make bedrock make sense

[torn pond]

better: microsoft paint

actually may have been paint.net here

not sure

[sonic musk]

redesign really
don't think about both version
make it a new version and vision

[torn pond]

sure i guess.
the problem is QC. It shouldn't exist but people will be mad if it gets removed.

I mean, they removed it once already when transferring everyone's worlds from Legacy Console to bedrock

is it really that bad to remove it again

[sonic musk]

it is what it is
people are gonna get mad what they do really
but the anger as well as hype does die down

they should've addressed this parity issue since they came out with PE/BE
but they didn't so we have this mess

[torn pond]

yeah

but also yeah we need coloured lighting, it was bad enough when the nether update added so many blue light sources that glow yellow, but since then we got the colorful froglights and now green torches and lanterns.

point lights are great for shadows, but we also need non-pointy regular colorful lights

[sonic musk]

if they tiptoe around the issue
it's gonna make it worse
they should not be worried about a select percentage of players
if they fixed the redstone issue it will be a great thing in the long term

[torn pond]

i mean, true i guess but ideally it should be done in a way that tries to avoid breaking too much stuff if possible.

especially to not result in a more limiting system.

we should have sticky pistons that can spit blocks out on bedrock.

[dawn fable]

give java the chunky piston arm

that would 100% stop them from being angry about qc being removed

[sonic musk]

we have super funny redstone tho

gtg bye bye everyone

[rich vault]

Hmm

Theory: copper compass that points to the nearest treasure within a certain radius. Encourages exploration and finding buried treasure, which players rarely try to find

https://tenor.com/view/jack-sparrow-captain-pirates-of-the-caribbean-nope-gif-13219279

Basically that ^

[quasi wedge]

They really went after the copper haters with this update

[half depot]

I hate copper

Not because it's useless, not because of whatever else anyone says

[quasi wedge]

me walking into the ocean with my chest detector out

[half depot]

because there's 4 damn textures per block and doing resource pack stuff is tedious

[rough path]

https://tenor.com/view/bober-pe-persistant-empires-bober-womp-womp-gif-9817047649399473190

[half depot]

I will cope and seethe about it later

But with all these new blocks n stuff. When does the texture atlas start becoming an issue? Especially if we are doing VV content which needs two additional textures per block

A resource pack above 128 is already really hard on bedrock.

[tropic chasm]

My theory is end update

[quasi wedge]

give us Nether and End maps 🗣️

[sonic musk]

nether bedrock roof map when

[tropic chasm]

Introducing the Piglin Gang, the protectors of the Nether Treasures

[sonic musk]

The Brutes

[quasi wedge]

I guess they would have to make it specialized somehow, -1 block from height, looks for a walkable area and will generate a space unless it reaches lava first?

maybe they give us a 3D holographic map instead

[sonic musk]

took the words out of my mind

[torn pond]

look any more content that lets me be a pirate is fun :3

still need a larger vessel, especially since the lead mechanics are, unfortunately, very goofy and inconsistent at times.

so mega boats, while fun, aren't all too practical

[wintry lantern]

chatsend event on stable when

i have an add-on that's on beta ONLY for the chatsend event

[tropic chasm]

I just realized that in the 1.21.100 changelog summary they mentioned:

Random offset (minecraft:random_offset) - Defines a block to have a variable offset, allowing for the kind of randomization seen in dirt blocks.

DIRT BLOCKS?! lols

[torn pond]

hint for the next update. They will give dirt blocks a random offset.

[willow sequoia]

Real

[rich vault]

Previuwu when

[agile matrix]

You know what I just don't get? Biomes. But maybe later this week I'll get biomes.

[rough path]

🤨 You're telling me a Bio made this mess?

[rich vault]

Biomicles

[fringe island]

Will it? Can biomes finally become stable? Well, we'll see tomorrow.

[wintry venture]

seems incorrect as hell

bro how frustrating this is

[tribal torrent]

preview day in 36 minutes?

:doggysmurkW:

[zenith aspen]

[torn pond]

Will today finally be the day we get Copper Jockey?

[charred ocean]

I like this idea a lot. This should actually be implemented in game to let players customise their difficulty

[fringe island]

Banana smells good, I can't wait for it to be released

[torn pond]

yeah
i doubt they'll do it but it would be nice. We need more ways to customize the experience

this and customized worlds would do a lot for the game.

[charred ocean]

we already got presets. Someone from the dev team said the customisation is gonna come at some point.

[torn pond]

no that's custom superflats

i mean the customized world type

the one they removed, said they'd bring back, but then never did.

these

But i also want custom superflats, too. I really hope we get them soon. Also, i wonder if they'll add more presets. They asked for feedback related to that and people did suggest some new presets but we haven't gotten any yet (besides the void that the said they'd add from the start), despite them being a thing that seems very easy to add more of.

[charred ocean]

Actually yeah this would be a wholesome feature

[torn pond]

this is probably my favorite removed feature. It was so good, and then they just took it away :(

[zenith aspen]

Banana meter

[zenith aspen]

banana meter

[foggy isle]

i thought today was friday

[tropic chasm]

Preview! Preview!

[shadow mason]

poor folks in Seattle, still sleeping...

[cerulean quarry]

preview day

[zenith aspen]

at least 5 words of vv changelog🙏

[cloud moon]

See it's the opposite for me since I've played 1.8 all my life

[torn pond]

one of these days they'll fix the series S reflections !

is it today?

idk probably not

i'm confused by what causes the issue as like, the reflections aren't this bad on any other platform. Last gen reflections are fine, PC reflections are fine. It's just the Series S where they're broken.

[torn pond]

Place your bets on today's preview:

• will we get the Copper Jockey?
• will we get the World Of Copper superflat preset?
• will we get the Copper Table?

[wintry lantern]

I think we need copper copper

[limber tiger]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[celest sluice]

Is that snapshot?

[limber tiger]

yeah

[torn pond]

YAYYYYY

a shame they didn't go with the "let players choose whether they sit on the bottom or middle" suggestion

but glad they reversed it

also like, this is the fastest i've seen Mojang respond to feedback that isn't like, something where i see people being overly angry about it, just a bit disappointed.

like, they changed it last week, people said they didn't like it, and it gets changed back.

fun!

Added light flashes to The End dimension as part of the ongoing Vibrant Visuals work

END FLASHES ON JAVA

!!!

YES

[wintry lantern]

They added the flashes!!

[celest sluice]

I honestly liked the items being on the bottom, but if the majority wanted it in the middle, I'm cool with it

[torn pond]

MY FAVORITE

[torn pond]

i liked them on the bottom for some cases but really didn't for others.

and the situations where it's better in the middle outnumbered the ones where it was better on the bottom

[torn pond]

i still hope they add them to non-VV bedrock

the end flashes are really good.

[celest sluice]

Yeah I was thinking of that. end flashed without VV

[torn pond]

and they added the new clouds to non-VV bedrock

[celest sluice]

the new clouds are on non VV bedrock, wdym?

[torn pond]

yes

thats what i said

:<

[hasty grotto]

speaking of clouds, we need java fog

[torn pond]

this would be much better
IF IT WAS A ROSE FLOWER >:(
bring them back i miss them :<

[hasty grotto]

awww

the new snapshot isnt showing up in prism launcher

[rich vault]

No way

[limber tiger]

hey look

no 1.22

[torn pond]

:<

[limber tiger]

but

now that end is getting the flash from bedrock

maybe end update idk

[torn pond]

i mean look
technically, they did say that drops can be the size of full updates

[limber tiger]

hm

[torn pond]

Gnembon did say in that interview that a drop can be as big as all of caves and cliffs

so far we haven't seen drops that big

but maybe!

[limber tiger]

doesn't look

good

but i take i

t

[torn pond]

finally slot machines on java

[torn pond]

but consider
PURPLE LIGHTING

[celest sluice]

Interesting. So it even lights up the end

I was expecting it to be an atmospheric change

[torn pond]

yeah
i actually think in some ways it looks better than the bedrock one.

like, the flash in the sky is worse

but

no autoexposure

means it doesn't suddenly turn way too dark when it's supposed to be bright

(mojang please let us turn off autoexposure)

[celest sluice]

The Java flash doesn't look as purple 🤔

[rich vault]

Wait

[torn pond]

java end as a whole has a much darker sky than VV end on bedrock.

[rich vault]

They updated the end. That's literally the end update!!

[torn pond]

true!

who could have known that Copper and Hopper was actually the End Update all along!

so now mojang have added some form of coloured lighting...

coloured light sources when?

[eternal shoal]

eww

[rich vault]

Not the end update that we wanted but the end update that we deserve

[eternal shoal]

it will do that when they add autoexposure

[eternal shoal]

autoexposure is good, it's just too harsh in vv

[torn pond]

maybe (i still would like to see how it is without it)

but yeah in VV it's way too strong. It makes the end flashes, something that's supposed to be very bright, actually darker than the end is normally.

[torn pond]

hm. So maybe they'll add a way to do it in survival?

also what's with the end music

it's odd

this is not the normal end music

i'm scared :<

like this may be just normal java end music idk, i've never heard it before

[celest sluice]

Oh wait. There's still nothing about the beach treasure thing

[torn pond]

yeah it does actually work thats fun
shame you need the debug stick for it

[marble karma]

Maybe that's coming to bedrock first?

[celest sluice]

Actually, reading the snapshot again, it seems all the features in this drop are now in testing, which means the teasers we've been seeing are for the next game drop

[zenith aspen]

ooooooo yesssssss

[cerulean quarry]

no preview yet

[celest sluice]

It's still early.

[cerulean quarry]

yea, but its too active in here

haha

maybe java dropped right?

[rich vault]

Could still get some creator oriented features for bedrock tho 🤞

[celest sluice]

Indeed it did

[limber tiger]

Possibly yeah

But considering it's no longer a copper thing

What could this be

[zenith aspen]

banana meter

-# riichi

[rough path]

We know something about biomes on Bedrock today.

[celest sluice]

So to summarize, this fall drop has:

• Copper golems
• Copper chests
• Copper torches
• Copper latterns
• Copper bars
• Copper chains
• Shelves

[tropic chasm]

Stable custom biomes?

[zenith aspen]

hope at least 6 words of vv changelog

[fluid wadi]

70000 messages

[celest sluice]

70003*

[fluid wadi]

70004*

[celest sluice]

Ok we're not doing this 😭

[fluid wadi]

I agree

[tropic chasm]

I love that the copper family is expanding

[celest sluice]

In retrospect, the shelves are really out of place in this drop

But they're a nice addition

[rough path]

Not really. The Drop Experiment mentions Copper Golem and Item Swirching.

[tropic chasm]

I wonder if the copper golem was planned to have an interaction with it

[celest sluice]

true

I wonder when Bedrock will get the end flashes in non-VV

[tropic chasm]

It’s pretty cool

I wish today we were getting some new information regarding the voxel shapes for blocks

[rich vault]

Ohh wait. Maybe they plan to fully phase out vanilla graphics and replace it with VV

[celest sluice]

If that were true, we wouldn't be getting vanilla graphical updates

Besides, they still have platforms that can't support VV

[rich vault]

Maybe they are slowly turning vanilla into vv

[torn pond]

:<

[undone crane]

switch is the main one with no support right?

[torn pond]

wait no

no i was wrong oop

my bad

[celest sluice]

Yes, but also low end Android, iOS and Windows devices

[torn pond]

so much better

now give us debug stick in survival

[celest sluice]

Is it just me, or are they the same size as before?

[torn pond]

items are, sadly.

blocks are bigger

but items are still small

[zenith aspen]

banana meter

[half depot]

It looks weird without shadows. And the texture for the flash is funky, but neat this exists

[torn pond]

to be fair the texture makes sense. It's consistent with the other sky objects in minecraft (moon, sun)

[half depot]

Yea I guess. I mean I don't like the fact it's just a circle in either version

[celest sluice]

What shape are you expecting?

[half depot]

Was just, expecting something cooler ig? It's just a purple circle in the sky (mainly taking from VV where it's not a texture)

It's literally just a flash that sets the mie scattering off. Nothing really interesting with it

It's meant to be supernovae flashes right? Having some cool VFX for it would've been sick

(Talking from VV here not the Java one)

[torn pond]

i mean it could be a duck

[celest sluice]

They did say it wasn't inspired by space themed end shaders, so I'm less inclined to think it was intended to be a supernova

[fluid wadi]

Resource pack creators, you know what to do

[torn pond]

they specifically said supernova :<

in this server :<

[celest sluice]

Ah, where?

They also said it wasn't space themed, so I guess it's something in middle

Oh well

If it's coming to Bedrock, it means will get a "supernova" sprite for the end sky

[torn pond]

they said the end as a whole isn't inspired by space shaders
but like, that doesn't mean a specific feature in it isn't inspired by things in space.

just not "the end will now look like space"

[torn pond]

maybe !

[torn pond]

this is the one on java

[fickle lark]

Wait so end flashes are coming outside of vibrant visuals?

[celest sluice]

yes

[fickle lark]

Thats hype lol

[past wharf]

No preview today ?

[rough path]

Maybe, maybe not.

We have 3 minutes.

[fickle lark]

Theyve been late so often, its making me think we shouldve just kept snapshot/preview day on Wednesday 😭 😭

[undone crane]

they were late then too so no matter

[past wharf]

No preview today ? 😈

[fickle lark]

Fair

[shy elbow]

hopefully they fix the mob spawning on custom blocks

[past wharf]

Well it's preview, so not release so I think late isn't appropriated

[undone crane]

Urm

[celest sluice]

It's so integral to the game loop! I'm glad Mojang added it in!

Is the date for the next Minecraft live known?

[quasi wedge]

what about ADD-ONS?

[torn pond]

i don't think so, but i'd guess in like 3-4 weeks.

just in time for the Copper And Shopper drop to be finished and for them to talk about it, say "it releases tomorrow/next week/right now/etc", and then announce the next drop.

[rich vault]

Oh wow, so soon

[torn pond]

I mean, they did say

With this, all features for our third game drop of 2025 are now in testing, and we'll start working our next game drop, which we are excited to tell you about soon!

if all the features are done then i doubt it's too long before release.

[eternal shoal]

WHAT

[eternal shoal]

WHY

[white blade]

We need more tables

[torn pond]

copper, mostly.

[marble karma]

Its barley copper

Its more like a copper trimmed table

[torn pond]

Pure copper.

you've never seen a copperer table in your life.

[fluid wadi]

[charred ocean]

now where's the post lol

Is someone gonna rename the existing #1402316892227633312 instead?

[torn pond]

i wonder if theyll add the super silly shelfy block state from java to bedrock

like the floor one of the placed item placement

[elfin flower]

Something has been bogging me for awhile now but why does VV's sliders setting looks like a disabled slider with normal slider in a mix?

[edgy abyss]

Bro Minecraft's UI team has been replaced by a bunch of trolls, what happened 😔

[elfin flower]

idrk anymore i just noticed it and I'm not even certain how did they screw this up.

it's a copy and paste job. literally.

This VV sliders is the only thing that certainly does not look normal.

the only thing that is normal in VV is literally just bloom slider.

[sonic musk]

preview today???

[limber tiger]

what

no

lol

[sonic musk]

it's thursday tho 👁️ _____👁️

[tribal torrent]

don’t be silly

Multiple previews encased within one singular stretch of half a fortnight has proven to be exceedingly rare, with the content’s magnitude often found modest in nature.

:doggysmurkW:

[celest otter]

It’s a shame that we’ve seen the last feature of the drop

we should’ve gotten copper buttons and pressure plates

[tribal torrent]

it is just a drop after all

[quasi wedge]

there aren't even iron buttons calm down

I think the Copper enthusiast camp has been given enough already

time for Iron people to get more things

[elfin flower]

you mean gold people.

[devout barn]

I think they mean coal people. We are really overdue coal pressure plates

[tribal torrent]

preview week tomorrow?

:doggysmurkW:

[zenith aspen]

39 hours until the banana hour

[wild fractal]

is it preview day today

oh wait it's Monday I thought it was tuesday

keeping track of time is hard

[elfin flower]

happened again but 1.21.100+

literally 3fps on a MAIN MENU

i fixed it!

you can go ahead and implement this in tomorrows preview mojang, it works perfectly

‼️ The End Update is coming

Developer Ulraf held a stream in Hebrew. Here’s a summary of what we learned:

Read this tweet thread to the end. 💥
@eckoxsoldier @_MINECRAFT_LIVE @comunidademc @CagilMartin @craftminePortal

X · Aug 18, 2025, 12:48 PM

Is that real

[rough path]

They had an interview yes, nothing says its for an End Update.

They say they want to keep the End a desolate wasteland and if they update it it wont be like the mods we see today.

[limber tiger]

Okay

[torn pond]

good

End mods that make it more alive and lush and stuff are very fun and i like playing with them

but that's not how i think the End should be in vanilla

[limber tiger]

if they can make something like the nether would be cool

just a couple of biome with their blocks

but basics one

[torn pond]

The nether update made the Nether far more alive.

and it added 2 forest biomes

which i don't think the End should have really.

[limber tiger]

it should imo

[torn pond]

How would they even look
like, okay, giant trees CAN work in the End i guess, but they feel too normal.

unless they were some very rare thing, that'd take away from the current feel of the End.

and giant trees don't seem fun for gameplay sadly.

[limber tiger]

mc dungeons

[torn pond]

idk, Dungeons fits the visual style of the End but it also feels weird to have just end grass and end bushes and stuff.

i'd prefer a different approach personally. Keep the End feeling like a dying, desolate wasteland.

just, less of a boring one.

[limber tiger]

then they can keep their boring end update

[torn pond]

i just think end trees don't really fit. The only plant we have in the End right now is completely unique

adding trees and other overworld-like plants kind of takes away from that, even if i like the tree shape.

[limber tiger]

then you can still put some empty spaces

[edgy abyss]

Magenta and cyan like warped forest Id say maybe. They both convey a feeling of a foreign and unknown land

[limber tiger]

and biomes

[edgy abyss]

And magenta is one of the primary end colors

[tropic chasm]

Ghasts are from the end change my mind

[edgy abyss]

And honestly, what is the alternative to this? A world gen update for the end? That would alter its characteristics even more than new biomes would. Another soulless, easy and uninnovative tiny boss that floats around in emits the huge realm of nothing? Surely not. New mobs? Well thats just biomes again except they float around anywhere instead of their own home

[torn pond]

I'm not against new biomes. Just not "recoloured forest, again!"

right now, the End's main plant is the chorus plant. That's completely different from anything you find in the overworld.

the End should feel unfamiliar. If it gets a new wood type, it shouldn't be a tree or giant mushroom.

(personally i think more things like how bamboo wood works could be fun, where you don't get the wood type directly from it but instead have to first break the plant and then convert it into a wood type in some way)

[edgy abyss]

Sure it wont have to be another forest thats true

[torn pond]

it can get new, unique looking biomes. It just should feel unfamiliar and not overly alive.

right now the issue is it looks bland. The supernovae are an improvement, but the actual islands are boring with no visual variety.

the Nether Update added soul sand valleys and basalt deltas, both of which look completely different from the nether wastes, but capture the same general feel.

[sonic musk]

trees are boring
add basalt deltas biome on steroids but end style

[torn pond]

The copper drop was truly something special

look at all these features

[white blade]

Where’s the copper tree on your screenshot tho?

[sonic musk]

wait wtf
is that table real???

nvm 💀 was so focused on table that forgot the grass

[torn pond]

that's the copper table

do you not recognize it

?

[torn pond]

it was added last week

look at the changelog

[sonic musk]

AH YES
i didn't due to VV
the most useful table in the table

[torn pond]

this is all 100% real idk what you're on about

including the happy copper

[sonic musk]

also copper boat
mine is oxidized now tho

[torn pond]

the copper table™ is available since last week in the latest Minecraft™ Bedrock™ Preview™

the Happy Copper™, Copper Boat™ and Land Of Copper™ biome will be available tomorrow in the next Minecraft™ Bedrock™ Preview™

these are all sneak peeks into what will be added in 1.21.110.25, tomorrow's preview

[rough path]

🙏 Praying for Jigsaw fixes and improvements.

[wintry lantern]

why water
it should've been Molten Copper™

[torn pond]

i forgot to replace rivers

and oceans and stuff

[muted widget]

roger badgerman, it's you??

you're back?!

[fossil walrus]

Same

[torn pond]

oh yeah i almost forgot to mention the Copper Dimension

truly, tomorrow's preview has it all

[rough path]

@obsidian lark Do you know where the changelog or mc wiki that states in Java that Jigsaws are supposed to generate entirely before features?

[obsidian lark]

I wouldn't know. I also don't touch worldgen.

[rough path]

Ah no worries!

[tribal torrent]

the update copper fans have been waiting for

[hasty grotto]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/s/6QEySFWv6A

Hey! Ulraf here.
I wanted to help clarify a few things so we avoid misunderstandings (and mistranslations) 🙂

Tl;Dr: The stream was a fun time talking about our favorite things in Minecraft and answering fan questions about our favorite game. We didn't discuss any future updates, roadmaps or upcoming features that haven't been announced. This conversation was more about things I am personally excited about and my thoughts about what would be fun for Minecraft in the future.

For example:
• I said I would like to work on minecarts in the future.
• I said I am excited to improve the end some unknown time in the future, and shared my personal thoughts about what could be cool for it.
• I said I would like to improve how easy it is to play with your friends on java.

In the original stream I clarified that these are my personal thoughts as I am a Minecraft fan excited about Minecraft. I had a blast talking and playing Minecraft with you all!

i just want reflections fixed on XSS.

(and ideally also increased render distance)

[zenith aspen]

still there? 😮

I expect very small or no vv changelog today

[zenith aspen]

[torn pond]

yeah they never fixed it for some reason :<

I wonder why. Like, it's not an issue on any other platform. It works fine on last gen consoles.

[zenith aspen]

probably the amd gpu issue or their internal config issue

[zenith aspen]

have you reported the issue to mojira?

[torn pond]

it was already on there. The bug report is wrong but its the correct bug, just not worded properly.

[limber tiger]

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-25w34a

[torn pond]

please add the end flashes to non-VV bedrock :<
especially if this is a setting anyway, people who don't want it could just turn it off

[limber tiger]

they managed to make the worst panorama for a COPPER drop

with a TON of copper blocks

[hasty grotto]

kind of reminds me of village and pillage

[limber tiger]

yeah

[zenith aspen]

cute af panorama

[dawn fable]

I wonder if they'll make a separate version for bedrock since those shadows are clearly not bedrock

[limber tiger]

i think they won't

they gonna port this one for bedrock without vv one

[dawn fable]

or it might be vibrant visuals only

[limber tiger]

and make another one for VV

[torn pond]

they should have this as the panorama

...i forgot i did this.

[random karma]

this is a leaked screenshot of the settings menu on stable 1.21.110

[heady sable]

"We heard you liked the end so much, so here is THE space update!!!"

[eternal shoal]

you can turn it off in vv

[elfin flower]

actually worst panorama i ever seen one in my life ngl

[limber tiger]

Totally agree

[elfin flower]

it literally doesn't showcase anything, it just screams "hey look here's copper golems standing still and wandering around, that's it"

[torn pond]

can you?

also im saying i want it in non-VV bedrock

because i feel like it's too subtle with VV now.

[eternal shoal]

yes ofc

[torn pond]

compared to how it is on java

[eternal shoal]

you cna change it's intensity/brightness

[torn pond]

with a pack yse.
not with an in-game spider :<

[eternal shoal]

and turn it down completely to get rid of that

okay but you still can

[rough path]

New preview out.

[eternal shoal]

and imo i like it more not being a slider

[undone crane]

now time to wait for changelog

[heady sable]

Let's gooo!!

[rough path]

New UI for bubbles?

[fringe island]

What is bubbles?

[dawn fable]

they really love consistent casing for ui textures

[heady sable]

What even is 'PNG Fail' for extension 🤔

[rough path]

And Im seeing some updates for VV for the marketplace?

[rough path]

FAIL is Malay for FILE, so PNG FILE. The greatest thing about windows is that not everything supports the language selected 😄

[heady sable]

Classic windows

[rough path]

Has it always been social?

[fringe island]

No

[rough path]

Ah, bubble UI

[dawn fable]

wow
more incorrect ore ui scaling!

not even in ore ui

[hasty grotto]

why are the ore ui icons always screwed

[dawn fable]

it's the launcher he's using

[rough path]

Is this changed or same old same old?

[dawn fable]

i hope they do the rest of the pause screen because the big empty sidebar is weird

[eternal shoal]

Vibrant Visuals has always been there?

[sonic musk]

first preview to be released just for a name change

[white blade]

"Removed Vibrant Visuals"?

[heady sable]

'Removed Vibrant Visuals'

https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/31997145717261-Minecraft-Beta-Preview-1-21-50-30 Found the biggestpreview

They should get rid of the side thing, put everything in the center and put the social button bellow resume game

[half depot]

nahhhh

[heady sable]

When is kayla joining us with 'Here is the changelog' 🥺

[dawn fable]

it's still used for scoreboards

[zenith aspen]

Vibruh Visuals

Bybye Visuals

[limber tiger]

Then they make the background transparent

[elfin flower]

feels like i need to experiment something with this preview especially UIs

[dawn fable]

I think they should update the entire thing rather than adding new screens for every section they update

otherwise people are going to have constantly changing designs

[fringe island]

Has the panorama changed?

[dawn fable]

the vibrant visuals one has
idk about the normal one

[rich vault]

Speaking of panorama, there's still no official way to capture it for VV

[dawn fable]

is there an official way to do the normal ones?

[half depot]

Yea there's a panorama folder

But it doesn't exactly work with VV stuff

[limber tiger]

Yeah kinda

[quasi wedge]

Can't believe you guys are leaking the preview that hasn't released

[tribal torrent]

this is a leak peek server now

[white blade]

Pout has already leaked that one long time ago

[rich vault]

For capture there isn't, but it's at least doable via camera command and by screenshoting the game. For VV panorama you gotta use a 3rd party program to extract the hdr render buffer from the game

[quasi wedge]

There is no update until #1019665690233405500 makes a new post

[simple steppe]

• Removed script api

[quasi wedge]

also these whole file diffs thing that this weird smokerguy does is totally fake

it won't unfortunately

[undone crane]

ik that i am like 3 centuries late but oreui accsesibilty and video screens

[eternal shoal]

oreui video screens?!

how

[rough path]

Not late at all! These were found in the files but not activated yet.

[undone crane]

Modified currenTreatments file

Is it ok if I share this on Twitter?

[undone crane]

yeah sure

[rich vault]

Is manifest v3 settings stuff already functional or not yet?

[rough path]

Yes!

It is yes.

I havent tested enums yet since it was recently introduced but they are!

[rich vault]

Got it, thanks

[fringe island]

Did they remove the option to choose between classic and pocket UI?

[undone crane]

Not sure bc it didnt even have graphics mode option

[zealous salmon]

How do you get to these screens? Is there no navbar to select the category/

[fossil walrus]

In stable?

Or just preview

[undone crane]

Modified treatments file

[zealous salmon]

I mean how do you get to them in game

[rough path]

Preview.

[rough path]

Settings -> video tab

Or accessibility tab.

It's the same as the sound tab.

[fossil walrus]

💀

Not that I have anything to use it on anyways however

[zealous salmon]

So pressing the button on the left opens the OreUI view instead of showing it like normal?

[rough path]

Yes, thats currently how the sound settings work.

[zealous salmon]

Gotcha

I really hope they bring back the navigation bar, it'll be so slow going through the pages otherwise

[cerulean quarry]

there is also audio volume settings screen i OreUI now

[fringe island]

I think because it is still in development and they should add it in the future

[zealous salmon]

funny that pressing back does this

[fringe island]

The Ore UI is very good, it doesn't allow emojis or colors

Connected was cool

[cerulean quarry]

I want colors back!!!

at least for my worlds lol

[tribal torrent]

if only ore ui could have actual ores

[limber tiger]

OreUI feels sloooow

[cerulean quarry]

Real

[hoary forge]

Mmmm Smore

[austere mirage]

where i can report a bug for mojang developers about the api ?

[rough path]

The bug tracker.

[white fractal]

why putting the entire list in ore ui, instead of replacing pause screen

fragmentation everywhere

[white fractal]

also this, where is our complete ore ui settings screen

[fringe island]

It really is strange to have a tab with just a single button.

[white fractal]

that's my complain

[rough path]

Patience dude.

You know very well that OreUI is a gradual and slow rollout. Complaining every day is tiring.

[white fractal]

i tried to avoid the new play screen because cringy

[fringe island]

Yeah, I honestly don't like it, but I know that complaining won't change anything, I'm just one of many people.

[limber tiger]

funny enough but the new video setting oreui screen doesn't have anything VV related settings

[torn pond]

VV will be removed in 1.21.120 confirmed

[arctic salmon]

So which screens have been converted to Ore UI till now

[elfin flower]

oh WELL this thing is up again!

Here's few changes I've noticed —

• The arrow that somehow is untextured blockbench texture pointing to NPC now exists
• The lobby's spawnpoint is below the actual place where you spawn in. somehow.
• The castle gamemode has got pretty great upgrade, the game is now 4 teams based capture the flag gamemode instead of deathmatch 2 teams gamemode.
  • There's now spawn protections when you respawn, although I'm not certain if this exists before or not.
  • The map got a few new bridge designs.
• The flag that oneshots you has been fixed.

[rough path]

The arrow is actually an editor mode marker!

[willow harness]

huh, I can't see it in my list

[elfin flower]

I got it immediately when i launch the game for some reason, since I'm kinda bored on waiting and wanna check out my skyblock stuff.

[willow harness]

hmmm what version are you on

[elfin flower]

1.21.101

[willow harness]

so the version is not it

[elfin flower]

Here's what not fixed —

• Rubberbanding still a thing.
• Death still a survival with invisibility effect, aka people can still hit you.

The arena map or gamemode is unfortunately, unchanged.

[zealous salmon]

It was a very slow rollout last time, I'd imagine it's the same

[marsh torrent]

I recently read here https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/achievements-now-work-with-add-ons that achievements now work with addons. My question is what it depends on whether your addon allows achievements or not. Does anybody know?

[rough path]

Yes, it's based on the product type

Check the wiki for the manifest example.

[marsh torrent]

Tysm!

How is it showing up in a non editor map???

Unless they explicitly placed it as an entity 🤔

[rough path]

It is an entity!

[elfin flower]

yeah and somehow spinning extremely fast for some reason

[rich vault]

Please tell me there is some way to choose external file location on android. There is something I need to check and it requires access to options.txt

[rough path]

The storage location? You can switch from application to external.

[rich vault]

No I can't, not with the new worlds UI

It used to prompt you whether you wanted external or internal storage, but now it doesn't

[rough path]

Afaik that was never per world.

[rich vault]

I meant the world selection screen

[rough path]

It should still be in settings? Unless you meant for a way to transfer worlds in which case its not possible.

[hasty grotto]

i think the storage tab has a dropdown for it

[rich vault]

Ahh ok nice, never knew it was also in the settings. Unfortunate that they don't have a pop-up anymore in the world selection screen tho, it makes me think that they'd want to phase out external storage eventually

[hasty grotto]

did they move options.txt back into external storage?

[rich vault]

External storage option doesn't apply to options.txt, it's just not there. I'm gonna see if creating it manually will work, it used to but they might've silently patched it.

[hasty grotto]

i remember at some point the xal files were exposed externally

[rich vault]

Ok nice, it still works. But given how obfuscated and undocumented this thing is, and how both mojang with MCPE and google with android are making things more closed down, hostile towards modding and tinkering & ramping up security, it might not last for long

[hasty grotto]

overdosing on hopium

After switching to external storage, now it shows the pop-up, prompting to change location. This is a dark pattern in UI to discourage using external storage 😔

Very upsetting to see this kind of manipulative design pattern

[cerulean quarry]

real

[elfin flower]

Unfortunately yeah, but fortunately. they may not to.

that's currently only way they could debug their stuff or test things.

and also that would hurt mobile people who making addons alot too.

[cloud moon]

Is everyone still just cheating

[elfin flower]

as far as im seeing, no. but people trying the old exploits but failed. aka a flag that kills people in one hit

i think they fixed a sprinting issues aswell, but never get to play that long though

[hasty grotto]

still experienced the sprinting issue

[white fractal]

disallowing world export by switching to ore ui, now that, literally encourages users to buy realms

[sleek grail]

Always jumping to the bad faith conclusion

[weary galleon]

the panorama for the copper update's so cool

i like seeing those guys run around

[charred ocean]

i kinda like it actually

Gives the vibes from 1.14

just my opinion, i think they should have added more stuff related to copper in the background.

but it's still fine

[fringe island]

Color coding is supported on the death screen, but not emojis

So this is the only screen ore ui that supports colors in names?

[white fractal]

only the death message to be exact

[fringe island]

Well it's the only one we can modify in game without some texture

[white fractal]

the hex color?

[fringe island]

Yea

The play screen for example does not support § in fact I believe that most or even all do not support it, apparently it is only this screen that ended up supporting it

[white fractal]

i don't know why

[fringe island]

I don't know either, both colors and emojis are used a lot on this screen, the official servers themselves used this, honestly I think it's really bad that they removed both functions, of course this could change in the future, but I don't know at the moment that's not the case

[white fractal]

rushing ore ui first for real

[limber tiger]

copper golem in offhand render as the copper block texture

[random karma]

that's certainly interesting

wonder why that is

[muted widget]

it's set in the blocks.json for destruction particles

but i wonder why it also takes this texture for rendering the item in offhand..

i'd love to get an ability how adding carried_texture in blocks.json makes the block have an item form, without needing to make a separate item with block_placer... it would be useful for blocks that don't have stuff like fuel component, or tags for crafting, for example, wood stuff, just an item like a candle or amethyst cluster, no need for an item file

but blocks.json is getting removed anyway...

[rough path]

You can use item visual component, no need for block ppacer.

[muted widget]

but making an item model will quite tedious, since we can’t use texture mashes on this case. especially if the texture is quite complex

[rough path]

Its not that hard, its just a 2d plane really. And you can reuse it.

Also, ismt carried textire still using the same geometry but different texture? I havent heard of it being used to give a 2d icon to blocks.

[muted widget]

for vanilla blocks, but i just assume that if he block has carried texture defined, it makes the item form of the block have and item model

[rough path]

I dont think so, have you tested this?

[limber tiger]

I wonder how mojang make the panorama with VV

[muted widget]

no, i was just guessing

[rough path]

Yeah, since vanilla doesn't do that, I see no reason for your suggestion as it already exists.

[sudden dirge]

Dude, I wish they expose before events for these soon:

1. entityHurt
2. entityHitEntity
3. projectileHitEntity
4. entityHitBlock

They would contribute to so much add-ons in the community

[rough path]

I womder if 1.21.120 tomorrow.

[quasi wedge]

I don't think so considering how big the last preview was

[rough path]

My reasoning is the Drop is wrapped up...at the same time last weeks was an anomaly, we dont tend to get a huge preview in a .25

[quasi wedge]

back to back huge previews

[torn pond]

I wouldn't mind another 110 if it means the end flashes without VV enabled, but if not then we can move onto 120

[rough path]

Thats probably not happening.

[torn pond]

sad :<

i feel like they really should add that, since it is now the intended look for the End, and VV doesn't even exist on some platforms (the switch), and on others (PS4/XB1) you're still probably going to play with it off.
And because it's just not as bright and impactful in VV as it should be.

[rough path]

Afaik its the intended look for the End when you have VV enabled.

[celest sluice]

I know they said Java and bedrock vv will be different, but something like this just seems too much to leave be

[rough path]

I wager that this is actually just temporary for Java. Theyre just adding all the foundational stuff.

[celest sluice]

If they planned on just making it for vv, not much sense implementing it in legacy graphics at all

[torn pond]

Maybe, but this feels like a pretty major thing to only have there when you have VV on. Especially when like, VV is intended to be the default look for the game.

the end flashes completely change how the End feels.

[rough path]

I mean they added the fog stuff for Java in prep for VV

[celest sluice]

Do we really know if it's for vv specifically? Or is it just because they're doing vv they decided to a graphical sidequest

[rough path]

Like I said, as far as I know.

[celest sluice]

I wonder how different it's gonna be exactly?

[torn pond]

i think this is something that really should be in all graphics modes, because it's just such a major difference in how the dimension looks, it makes it feel inconsistent when you have VV off.
It's the only really major feature that only exists when you have VV on that isn't clearly just a "this couldn't be done with weaker graphics settings"

[rough path]

Java will get way more toggles per the devs.

[celest sluice]

I don't expect the same engine stuff but, some graphical parity would be appreciated

[rough path]

Ok maybe not toggles but customization.

[rough path]

Even simple? That wont look good.

[torn pond]

i mean, it does on java.

[rough path]

Can I see the flash on simple graphics Java?

[torn pond]

I think so. I'll check

wait yeah i'm pretty sure i always play on fast on java

and i had them there

but i'll check again anyway

[celest sluice]

You play on fast?

[torn pond]

they really should make it more customizable on bedrock if they do that on java. I don't get it

[torn pond]

okay turns out i was on fancy, i just have fast lighting on

[celest sluice]

Java Devs love toggles more than bedrock devs

[torn pond]

because i like blocky lighting

[torn pond]

which is a shame

[rough path]

Tbf, I think Java is just a compromise.

Maybe no VV packs for them.

[celest sluice]

They have custom shader support

[rough path]

I mean the biggest reason is the JE community tends to be obnoxiously loud and annoying over the tiniest thing.

[rough path]

Official?

[celest sluice]

Official

Via resource packs

[torn pond]

i have these settings on

and the end flashes still happen

[rough path]

How does it look

[torn pond]

so yeah, they happen even on the lowest java graphics mode

[quasi wedge]

they even have moving toggles holy moly

[plush wedge]

You can disable the lighting changes of the end flashes with options > accessibility settings > hide sky flashes

[celest sluice]

Moving toggle?

[tropic chasm]

horizontal bars

[celest sluice]

You mean, a slider?

[elfin flower]

0% brightness user spotted.

[torn pond]

the end flashes look better at 0%

[quasi wedge]

what else are you supposed to call these? they're clearly moving toggles

[rough path]

Verticla bars when?

[celest sluice]

Lol

[torn pond]

but also low brightness supremacy

[rough path]

Hear me out, shifting toggles.

[tropic chasm]

is amongus minigame

[celest sluice]

Drawer toggles

[dawn fable]

almost empty bookshelves

[torn pond]

I think it looks pretty good. Different to bedrock VV end flashes but good.

i would like this on bedrock when VV is off.

[celest sluice]

Is there anything keeping the bedrock devs from making these toggles?

[rough path]

Priority.

[celest sluice]

Sounds about right

[rough path]

At the end of the day, priority is everything.

[torn pond]

it does result in the bedrock versison not feeling like it's as good as java, sadly.

when java gets way more toggles and settings and stuff

[dawn fable]

more toggles means less space for padding

[rough path]

Different engines, different playerbase, different priorities.

[torn pond]

feels more polished i guess.

[torn pond]

what do you mean? every toggle means they need more padding!

the padding is tied to the toggles so the more toggles you have, the more padding you have !

that's the beauty of it, there isn't a max amount of padding you can have on a page.

[eternal shoal]

sliders

[eternal shoal]

who even cares about graphics without vv /j

[quasi wedge]

that's not very toggle like

[limber tiger]

why do vv makes these horrible color difference when taking screenshots from different direction

[eternal shoal]

auto exposure ✨

[limber tiger]

and can we turn that off?

[eternal shoal]

nope

[limber tiger]

fuck

that's not useful for panoramas

[eternal shoal]

yeah
