[feral burrow]

[storm steppe]

Before time began, there was, the cube.

[bright grove]

Not first

[white pewter]

🏝️

[coral crow]

I have no questions, but it will be very interesting to read the answers to other questions

[feral burrow]

same

[coral crow]

Although there are probably 1, but either I don’t know something or it will 100% be written by someone else

[lofty wasp]

marking my spot

[coral crow]

Already asked, I knew it would happen)

[fast bloom]

hello

whats up?

[feral burrow]

for me i asked for custom dimensions
99.9% will not happen

[torpid violet]

I'm sure they'll get to it eventually. It's a core thing for them to add.

[proud bay]

LETS GOOOOO

[torpid violet]

Jesus, there are a lot of questions already. These used to get just a few the first couple days of posting.

[coral crow]

I think he really wants to ask 1,000,000 questions

[feral burrow]

u can ask only 3 questions

[torpid violet]

Just ask friends to ask for you, LOL.

[feral burrow]

make 999 new accounts

[coral crow]

What if he logs in from a second account?

[proud bay]

more then enough lol

[coral crow]

This is a business idea, we make money by asking questions

[storm steppe]

@green path

[green path]

SMOKEY

LMAO

[prime helm]

how?

[radiant nexus]

ok features are a major part of addon creation ofc its gonna get a ton of attention lmao

[lofty wasp]

Don't think I got any questions, since the ones I had already got asked. I'll see if I have more tomorrow.

[bitter steppe]

I see lots of questions about jigsaws. Does this have anything to do with StructureManager?

[torpid violet]

Not right now it doesn't. But maybe they'll tie in the APIs for such in scripting.

[radiant nexus]

theres still, like, 3 more questions i have in mind that need asked

[fresh sage]

what is jigsaws?

[radiant nexus]

ones not really necessary but its more of something that annoys me

[radiant nexus]

thing that make trial chambers exist

:p

[fresh sage]

ah i see, so jigsaws are new?

[radiant nexus]

yes

and theyve finally been released to creators

the block itself isnt new tho

[storm steppe]

Lowkey...no idea what else to ask.

[thorn canyon]

All of you asked about dimensions, biomes, everything. The only other thing to ask about would be really be cool ideas for new features.

Even to see a roadmap for world gen

[proud bough]

\o/

[radiant nexus]

i have a couple :p

[proud bough]

World gen

Something I never played around with... I will still be reading chat though

[storm steppe]

100% fix for ticking blocks when?

[proud bough]

Ticking blocks?

[green path]

ask for molang working in feature state generation 😔

[radiant nexus]

you can ask two more questions per the forum guidelines lol

[storm steppe]

He could have asked three more if he just deleted his first one.

[radiant nexus]

lmao

[green path]

Looks like the superior thread won 💅

[proud bough]

The super reactions of hides the actual number of votes lol

[storm steppe]

I concede...

Anyone wanna ask about q.noise?

A post for parity: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Custom_world_generation

Just port everything from there but in a better format.

NOW I finished all three slots.

[radiant nexus]

i would have

but i could only ask 3 questions

i want the seed for it unlocked

so it syncs to world seed

[atomic tendon]

so when's a question about query.seed coming?

[storm steppe]

That's exactly what I wanted to ask.

And expose the 4 other noise maps.

[radiant nexus]

uhhh

the maps themselves are somewhat exposed

just

you have to figure out what the correct offset and octaves are manually

which is dumb

its actually mentioned on the wiki

no idea why they showed the images tho

[glad prawn]

i just had a stupid idea.
i was thinking if it would be possible to get some kinda of structure scaling... can be weird depending on the way it is implemented. maybe something like nine-slice (in 3D it is 24-slice lol)

[radiant nexus]

...?

wdym

[glad prawn]

you know how nine-slice work?

[radiant nexus]

idek what that is lmao

[storm steppe]

That sounds like JIgsaw.

[radiant nexus]

someone needs to suggest a new feature type, specifically large ore veins

[storm steppe]

I do wonder what use case structure feature still has now.

[mellow magnet]

Nine-slice is a texture rendering style for ui

[glad prawn]

nvm lol
let say we have a structure with a specific design that we want to keep when scaling it
by slicing it to 24 (or whatever) and keppeing the corners as they are we can archive a good result

[glad prawn]

that might actually work using JIgsaw

[radiant nexus]

structures you dont want showing up with /locate

small structures where jigsaw is kinda pointless

[storm steppe]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1303542378165964830 close enough... 🙏 thank you @tight grotto

[tight grotto]

👀

[torpid violet]

I went ahead and wrote some documentation for structure sets. Check it out and let me know what you think: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Ciosciaa/2e3b9208f6be0a1dde643530a9a0dc9e/raw/53412836cfc512c269f37c39e4dd23d827ec53fd/structure-set-definitions.html

[storm steppe]

Finally.

[mellow magnet]

I have noticed sever hang when having more than 3 jigsaw structures referenced in a structure set

[past wing]

Why did they remove old custom biomes?
I would like to ask that but maybe we have info

[white pewter]

because they rewrote the terrain generation with new caves, mountains, etc.

[pine valve]

Would like custom height like 2000 so i could make a space setup, or just custom dimensions.

[fast bloom]

well 70% of the devices running this world would die just with few chunks lmao

its already challenging to run world of 512 height limit

the memory use grows really fast but that make sense

[maiden bison]

is world gen pluh?

[torpid violet]

They’d have to totally rewrite the engine to use subchunks.

[torpid violet]

I'm loving these questions so far. They're mostly pretty well informed!

[torpid violet]

Fun write-up on processor lists: #1303973556476055592 message

[fast bloom]

Well problem is not the performance much but memory it takes

[feral burrow]

i have the most reacted post on this Q & A

[coral crow]

I would like to start making biomes normally

[drowsy fractal]

Ooh this is cool! Perfect time to get something answered that I’ve wanted to know for a while 😀

[feral burrow]

imagine mojang just introduces custom dimensions for bedrock bec of my dumbass

[radiant nexus]

lmao

[torpid violet]

Doesn't look like anyone asked about structure file compression yet…

[untold falcon]

Is there a use case left for regular structure template features?

[storm steppe]

Ive read:

• structures that dont want to be located
• Smaller structures that dont need jigsaws capabilitties and tedious setup.

[untold falcon]

Only jigsaws work with /locate?

[storm steppe]

Yes.

[untold falcon]

Certainly a choice

[storm steppe]

It never really worked and it is technically considered a feature like dungeons and desert wells.

I dont really see a need to add locate support when jigsaws exists.

[untold falcon]

That forces you setup jigsaws for all structures you want people to be able to /locate

[storm steppe]

You just have to weigh your pros and cons.

Because yeah, technically struxture template is a feature like desert wells.

[torpid violet]

It's just the way it has to be. When you use locate or a locator map on jigsaw structures, the engine can use very cheap math to figure out where the nearest such structure is.

There is no way they could ever add this functionality to structure template features. When I do feature generation, I can add structures anywhere — at any coordinates in any chunk. It'd just be impossible to calculate ahead of time where the nearest structure would be.

[untold falcon]

I see

[keen oyster]

but the cube was formless and void

Will we have a world barrier in bedrock?

[keen oyster]

dead chat 🐂

[bitter steppe]

Can this jigsaw stuff be used in a way that doesn't auto-generate during world gen? Say, I only wanted to drop a structure while the player is moving in an area, but it would be nice if the structure could have the interior randomly set with scenes inside. Could a jigsaw pool be used in the structure without having it run during world gen?

[lofty wasp]

This is a part I am yet to explore myself, but I would think you'd either use a processor to change blocks in the structure, or use internal jigsaws that places some stuff randomly, though this part seems less optimal.

[storm steppe]

Pretty sure, just use scripting or commands.

A Structure Set contains a set of Jigsaw Structures and rules for how those structures should be placed in the world relative to other instances of structures from the same set.

-# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/worldgenreference/examples/jigsawstructuresets?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

Just omit this.

[bitter steppe]

My latest obsession has been an endless exploration routine that generates chunk-size room tiles as the player runs around. It would be nice if I could offload some of the randomness to some built-in code.

Of course I'm also randomly rotating the structures as I place them

But then, I'm already generating the structures programmatically at runtime, so I suppose I just need to roll my own feature solution.

[radiant nexus]

…well, yes, if /place works inside command blocks

[bitter steppe]

well, I mean, I'm doing it in a behavior pack using StructureManager

[violet ravine]

will the event take place via a text channel or a stage?

[green path]

It will take place within the forums. An introductory post will be made for Mojangsters, and they will answer questions inside the forum post where they were asked. Someone will go through after the event has ended and collate all of the questions and answers into a single post for the wiki.

[violet ravine]

ohh alrigtht

thanks

[storm steppe]

3 more days.

[storm steppe]

That someone is me!

Lots of good questions!

😠 still angry I got my question closed instead of yours.

[green path]

:DoggySmirkW:

[storm steppe]

[coral crow]

We wait another 22 hours 58 minutes

[twilit rune]

6 hours 20 minutes now

[proud bough]

DarkNavi already answering #1303877913594298469 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[floral bridge]

soon

[olive wasp]

Happy q&a day!!!

[coral crow]

<t:1731690000:R>

[unique mango]

YOOOOO who's HYPE!?

[torpid violet]

https://tenor.com/view/falling-stars-old-cartoon-cartoon-disney-movie-reaction-gif-16441147679710048815

Just kidding.

[untold falcon]

Lol

[unique mango]

So hype

[proud bay]

that’s so true that’s so true

[storm steppe]

SMH cici breaking the 3 posts limit

[torpid violet]

Wow.

[proud bay]

i was wondering about that too lol

[untold falcon]

Admin abuse

[storm steppe]

We like to do a little admin abuse in this server.

[coral crow]

So that they don’t have time to delete

[proud bay]

maybe someone can ask for you lol, loophole

[storm steppe]

🥲

This is getting out of hand...now there are 5 posts!

[torpid violet]

This guy.

Y'all can talk again!

[feral burrow]

hi

[radiant nexus]

Navi: "I am youthful"

[floral bridge]

[proud bay]

navi is is really funny lmao

[storm steppe]

Nah.

[proud bay]

also

[foggy quest]

@long nacelle anything to say old man? /s

[ionic palm]

i like spelling words ok

[proud bay]

lmao

[ionic palm]

i may have called darknavi old but i meant it in a good, joyus way

[proud bay]

wait was that an accident

that’s crazy lol

[ionic palm]

no i just love to spell

[long nacelle]

Meet me by the busses after school and we'll see WHO'S FUNNY

(this is a joke, don't fight me. I will lose)

[shy pine]

Navi is the funniest old person ever (Not saying that because Id like to keep MC's biomes)

[storm steppe]

No thanks, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight is worth more tuning into.

[hearty marlin]

So it begins

[ionic palm]

Smoke Paul vs Navi Tyson

[storm steppe]

Me and Navi have beef because ItemStack has composting_chance field and a component.

[proud bay]

so real

[long nacelle]

If we fix it, what will we even do? What do you do after the fighting stops?

[ionic palm]

"without the batman, crime has no punchline"

[hearty marlin]

They just told us that using the QA helps them plan out their roadmap

[steel jacinth]

🦉

[steel jacinth]

if that's true

I'd tell my plans, not leave the community unanswered.

[hearty marlin]

They did..

And the plan is that they don't have any current plans for custom dimensions

[steel jacinth]

I talk about roadmaps

[storm steppe]

If you bothered to look at previous qnas and this one you can see that they have responded if something is short term, long term, or not planned at all.

[hearty marlin]

You can't even think about it until you have custom biomes in place

[hearty marlin]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1304006406000738314

[steel jacinth]

there are answers but they don't say much

[storm steppe]

Keep the hype low.

And idk about you...but the Block QNA said a LOT.

[hearty marlin]

Their current focus are jigsaw structures. And they're also doing internal work to pave the way for custom biomes

[untold falcon]

These are about the only insight we have about what's to come next

[coral crow]

Waiting for custom biomes day 1

[steel jacinth]

I just want to get the correct answer to my question, why can't tell us about the finished roadmap?

[storm steppe]

A roadmap is never finished.

Delays happens.

HCF

[hearty marlin]

A roadmap changes constantly. Infact sometimes things are delayed

[proud bough]

Roadmap change, they don't want to underdeliver so they don't tell everything

[hearty marlin]

Remember the block and entity interact events

[steel jacinth]

there's clearly more information than we got from all the answers to the questions

[untold falcon]

There is no finalized road map, we saw that with HCF's end and the introduction of custom components

Things change

[steel jacinth]

Lmao

[unique mango]

We want to get better at roadmaps over time. But right now we don't have enough fidelity to show publicly a 3-6 month roadmap, for example. Too many things change and I want to make sure anything we share with you all is something you can count on.

[hearty marlin]

The best you got for now Karl is this. #1304006406000738314 message

If it's not on the roadmap, don't count on it in the short or medium term.

[storm steppe]

Waterlogging was huge! I was expecting a whole 6 months but nah.

[proud bay]

crazy

[steel jacinth]

are you avoiding my answer

[hearty marlin]

?

What are you talking about?

[steel jacinth]

i'm talking about providing information

[hearty marlin]

And they did.

Multiple times I linked you their plans for worldgen in the short term

[steel jacinth]

are you referring to mojang's answers

[hearty marlin]

What else could it be?

[steel jacinth]

which has very little information

Reread what I said

[storm steppe]

I guess to each their own. Mojang has provided information on their plans publicly. It is up to you whether or not you'll accept their answers. But that doesn't change the facts.

[proud bay]

oh sweet pumpkin salad

-# what

[hearty marlin]

What I got is that they're working on more block features, the jigsaw structures, and custom biomes

[steel jacinth]

Yes this doesn't change facts

there is too little information

[hearty marlin]

It's not like they can give you everything. Kayla just explained it

[proud bough]

You are just disappointed that Mojang is cautious about what they share and what not. You can continue arguing but will only talk against a wall

[floral bridge]

literally all reaction to answers

[hearty marlin]

What?

[untold falcon]

?

[hearty marlin]

That didn't invalidate my statement

[storm steppe]

If you read the whole thing...they told you the roadmap up until custom biomes.

And why it will take long.

[floral bridge]

there is gif with soyjak

[steel jacinth]

if you take all the water from the answers you don't know anything

[hearty marlin]

We know that custom biomes are coming. And we know more block features and jigsaw work is coming

[steel jacinth]

I put the answer from above as an argument that there's a lot more information.

[proud bough]

I think this person isn't satisfied with all of your answers, ignore them

[unique mango]

You seem to be angry at community members here because you aren't getting the information you want from Mojang. I'm sorry we aren't giving you the level of detail you want, but please, don't take it out on community members that worked hard to put on this Q&A.

[storm steppe]

If you'll excuse me, I have to go do something and then port all this to the wiki.

[hearty marlin]

Huh. You're right.

We should be angry at YOU 🫵

[proud bay]

tell em

wait what

[unique mango]

Exactly. I'm ultimately accountable for the roadmap.

[steel jacinth]

i'm not agry lol

[hearty marlin]

Lol

[dim tree]

Aren't roadmaps supposed to show the progress of features? Can they put updates on some community requested features on a public backlog

[steel jacinth]

i just expressed my point of view

[hearty marlin]

I'm guessing that will take some infrastrcture to set in place.

[storm steppe]

I'm surprised locator maps aren't on their short term roadmap...I could argue it's a high priority.

[hearty marlin]

And a level of confidence to show it off

[unique mango]

The furthest we've gotten with this is my "What's Next" section at the bottom of each stable release:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/update1.21.40?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable#whats-next

[storm steppe]

🙏 And they all came true within this year.

[floral bridge]

there is some kind of cult going on here

is this bad or good?

[steel jacinth]

Bye

[proud bay]

it’s like christmas came early

[storm steppe]

Is it not good that aimassist, overriding block icons, and playerInteract APIs got shipped?

[glad prawn]

i guess that something can wait
lol

[storm steppe]

☝️ Waiting for bus.

[glad prawn]

ah alr

[proud bay]

smokeystack waiting for the bus is so real

you saw nothing

[glad prawn]

no one excused you tho

[frozen wedge]

hello everyone!

[glad prawn]

Hello!

[proud bay]

hi

[hearty marlin]

Maybe Karl isn't satisfied, but I am. There's quite a bit to look forward to in the near term

[proud bay]

same

[hearty marlin]

Oh. Hope Mojang answers this one. https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1303585334638022726

[floral bridge]

i hope for this
#1303678066572394578 message

[hearty marlin]

My best guess? Not on the roadmap 🤭

Ha ha very funny

[steel jacinth]

Yes

[storm steppe]

RAHHH
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/meta/world-gen-qna.html

[delicate quest]

I’m late to the party, but both my questions got answered! Yay!

[subtle vector]

please

[subtle vector]

Learn from your altitude and mistakes

[radiant nexus]

how long will the Q&A last?

[storm steppe]

Le qna is...le over.

[radiant nexus]

so one of my questions went unanswered

[storm steppe]

Many such cases.

[radiant nexus]

and for procedural terrain creators its a crucial one

[storm steppe]

Per every qna, not every questions will be answered.

[radiant nexus]

#1303449512626491533

this is important because without this, the only way to do caves is to use 3D noise, which…is not very performant

luckily i did point out i had a video in one of my other threads

[subtle vector]

Hey Smokey, you haven't done any embassiary work in the Datapack side of the creator community

O 3 O

They are very eager to work with you ~ !

[torpid violet]

FYI: we'll be archiving the event channels after the weekend.

[spring swallow]

Shoot, should have asked if custom ocean and cave biomes are planned along with custom biomes.

[lofty wasp]

A little bit late, but the questions are really good and interesting in this qna.

[foggy quest]

I agree

[spring swallow]

They really are. And the answers are satisfying too. I wonder why anyone would complain about them.

[radiant nexus]

meow

[delicate quest]

Wattles made a video on the Q&A! https://youtu.be/nLC-yIWw4f4?si=iAUQCsfS0s68Q65T

A little misleading, but still spreads the word

[dim tree]

2024 youtube gotta have clickbait titles and thumbnails lol

at least he used 'revealed' rather than 'leak'

[delicate quest]

Of course. It’s just funny to me

[glad prawn]

he did change it
"Revealed"

[proud bough]

Dead chat

[shy pine]

channel will be locked today

[foggy quest]

🫡

[ionic palm]

rip

[shy pine]

Can this be the last message?

[dim tree]

This will be the last message, lots of interesting info on the qna btw.

[ionic palm]

👅

[coral crow]

☕

[glad prawn]

take your time, "after the weekend" can be even 2 years later

[delicate quest]

Goodbye forever everyone

[atomic tendon]

or so you say
