battery procentage

[sudden iris]

if you arent on pc you know how annoying it is for your laptop to run out of battery while in fullscreen so this would fix it by showing your battery procentage on screen

Alt + tab, check the battery and again Alt + tab

only take 2 seconds dude

[sudden iris]

now take a guess will i remember to do that ?

i wont

[robust cloud]

Is it difficult for you to minimize the tab, see the battery and then return to the game?

lunar 1.8 or new versions

for 1.21+ you can use the battery viewer in the dynamic fps mod

[solar owl]

u are missing point xd

its ok not everyone was born with sense

[deep fern]

bruh how does that make any sense

like you cant remember to switch tab to check battery

but you can remember to look at your battery percentage on your screen?

[brittle sluice]

F11 see to the botton right, f11 again

Not that deep

Why are you all hating on the idea, some people get so in to games they forget to check. It may take 2 seconds but people forget to check. A HUD element allows the user to see it on their screen without having to leave the game making it more convenient. It's like saying why don't you blink as much when looking at a screen, that's something no one remembers to do but we need to blink...

fr, i will never use bc im desktop but i feel for the laptop demons they need to have quality of life catered to them. GIVE THE MAN SOME PERCENTAGE!!

[warm acorn]

fr lmao, i don’t use a laptop either but I understand why they suggested it

plus it’s like 7 lines of code

its so easy to add

[small lantern]

lol ye fr

[olive venture]

but its already possible on new versions with /modloading

[small lantern]

i guessr a temporary workaround if possible people could download reshade and use the screen cutout

[warm acorn]

but most people use 1.7/1.8 as pvp is better and the vast majority of laptop users would benefit from it being natively implemented

[olive venture]

true

well it might be useful idk

[warm acorn]

ya

[rugged pewter]

I don't think any competitive player using a laptop would play the game without having the laptop plugged in...

[sudden iris]

Well no but is it hard to understand that sometimes i forget go out of fullscreen

[sudden iris]

Ye players who dont have common sence or are just so rich do that. Keeping my laptop charged all the time is not good for a laptop

[rugged pewter]

???

What's your source for that

"The more discharge and recharge cycles a battery goes through, the less it will last."
So it's the exact opposite

Having it plugged in will not only get you more frames and better performance overall, but will also lower the pressure on the battery

This has nothing to do with common sense or being rich, I'm not sure where you're getting that. And I don't remember telling you to keep it plugged in all day. The logic for playing video games with a laptop, is to have it plugged in. It also doesn't matter if it's a normal or "gaming" one

[unreal trail]

if u play unplugged ur fps will be lower

and if u wanna play mc just keep it plugged

if u wanna see the battery percentage just tab out and look

takes like 2 seconds

[solar owl]

xd windows laptops

[sudden iris]

ok i gotta admit i was wrong partly

[sudden iris]

whats wrong with those?

[full bridge]

Ur stupid asf LOL

[warm acorn]

this is incredibly stupid as you’re damaging your components with excessive heat, you’re overcharging a lithium battery which could start to leak and explode, as well as wasting electricity at a time of high costs

[rugged pewter]

Judging by this, I highly doubt if you've ever played games on a laptop

1. You cannot overcharge laptop batteries. All modern laptops prevent charging when it reaches the capacity.
2. Having your laptop plugged in while gaming has nothing to do with heat. Playing games on a laptop will indeed require a cool pad. Minecraft is kind of an exception here. Unless you're running shaders on your laptop, which you shouldn't in the first place.
3. Laptop battery leaks, as far as I know, are extremely rare, and the reason to them is overheating. Which again, the user is responsible to control it.
4. What's the logic for wasting electricity and high costs? You're saying if you have your laptop plugged in and use it for a 3-hour gaming session, you'll use more electricity than if you played on battery and then plugged it in to charge it back?!

Ask anyone who plays game to a somewhat professional/competitive level on a laptop and see if they play on battery power.. no one does. Also laptop batteries are replaceable and they're expected to have a lifespan of 3 to 4 years before you have to replace them. Exceptions happen, but that's the optimal expectation.
