MineWatch

[night hill]

if he likes it its basically confirmed hes one of those old kids who would play creative and just build expensive houses

out of like gold and diamonds and stuff

[hidden halo]

I made him this

It has iron doors with pressure plates only on the inside

So only he can open and close the doors

[night hill]

very nice, he doesnt have to be watched now

[hidden halo]

And he has a diamond armor set for protection

[night hill]

we take care of fren

[hidden halo]

ASMM

wait

need a sign

[night hill]

"ASMM ONLY"

[night hill]

perfect

[hidden halo]

OK here goes

Testing the camera again

OK it didn't crash

[night hill]

see

[hidden halo]

it took a SS from MY position for some reason

[night hill]

keep fren safe

[hidden halo]

But we can work with this

[hidden halo]

ASMM must feel safe

If ASMM feels unsafe bad things happen

Like StackOverflowErrors

[night hill]

this started out like an hour and a half ago as just a creepy player but we are slowly portraying him as a minecraft playing kid

[hidden halo]

Yes but how did he end up in the game?

He's like an OG 2011 player who built in creative

How did he become ASMM

[night hill]

he was one of the original testers and played so much and put in so much hard work that he left a part of himself in the world

[hidden halo]

Can you make a google doc with this?

We need a lore sheet

[night hill]

can't rn but I will later

[hidden halo]

RetroGamingNow left the chat

lol

He was online a second ago

Maybe he was watching our conversation

[night hill]

maybe

RGN if you are spying on us you can be ASMM's fren to if he wants to be yours

[hidden halo]

G

Getting better!

[night hill]

yeah, not even full black this time

very nice

[hidden halo]

Is that asmm on the right?

The hand is mine

[night hill]

that might be his head just peaking over

we need to find a way to communicate with him

this convo went so fast from making mod to meeting fren

[hidden halo]

-# ~~Well if you have no friends you have to code them 😭 ~~

[night hill]

wait a second, you said earlier an ai helped with it right?

maybe the ai gave us a fren

[hidden halo]

Deepseek and GPT gave me rendering advice yes

[night hill]

go away, you no get fren

[fossil torrent]

HUH

[hidden halo]

ASMM doesn't like you

[fossil torrent]

huh

[hidden halo]

If we communicate with him i'll make him dislike oldticket

[fossil torrent]

huh

why did everyone stop talking

[night hill]

dont worry about it

[fossil torrent]

sads

[fossil torrent]

I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT

[hidden halo]

YES

[night hill]

see, fren help

[hidden halo]

This was the hardest part

[night hill]

I just realized are these screenshots all gonna save to your computer

that could stack up fast

[hidden halo]

They will autodelete probably...?

Maybe make that togglable

[night hill]

just making sure bc my computer has like no space lol

[hidden halo]

[night hill]

those cameras are very camera

[hidden halo]

?

[night hill]

camera 🧀

[hidden halo]

say 🧀

[night hill]

👍🏻 🧀

[hidden halo]

i'll make a message say cheeZ

[hidden halo]

@pliant lantern what dyou think

[pliant lantern]

Is this just an ingame camera mod?

[night hill]

I think the plan is to connect them to a website

basically the very simplest idea of minewatch

[hidden halo]

It's supposed to be a functional recreation of minewatch

Or of the concept

blehhh

asdjf;

[fossil torrent]

So a website will be made

arent you making it so it live streams Minecraft on a website

[hidden halo]

Yes eventually

I'm still trying to take screenshots without lagging the player

[fossil torrent]

so its a livestream of taking screenshots

isnt

that like

I feel like it wouldn’t be able to run the streams at good fps

[hidden halo]

I asked you about that before and you said it was fine

wait

no i asked cheez

nvm

[fossil torrent]

We should have gotten fundy

[hidden halo]

stfu

I'm a real modder

[fossil torrent]

so is fundy

[hidden halo]

All fundy can do is stupid anvils that fall on your head or a pickaxe that bounces on blocks

let's be honest

Fundy does modding for youtube

And nothing else

[fossil torrent]

hey man let’s not disrespect

people

[hidden halo]

that goes for me too

[fossil torrent]

he does entertaining content

[night hill]

does he have ASMM tho

[hidden halo]

NOPE

[night hill]

exactly

we're better

[fossil torrent]

I don’t even know what that is

[hidden halo]

He doesn't have this either lmao

[night hill]

dont disrespect ASMM, it's who

[hidden halo]

Isn't it whom?

nvm

[fossil torrent]

you need to explain this

to me

I don’t know what that is

[night hill]

I just realized, is that another ASMM I see?

[hidden halo]

ASMM is an entity who lives in minecraft

[hidden halo]

Yes?

[fossil torrent]

hm

[night hill]

he has frens

[hidden halo]

Wait no ASMM is black

[hidden halo]

lemme find a picture

[night hill]

its ASMMF

[fossil torrent]

fundy has foxes

fox

better

[night hill]

ASMM fren

[hidden halo]

@fossil torrent

This is ASMM

On the right side

[fossil torrent]

👍

[hidden halo]

Cheez made a joke about an arg spooky monster man

So the acronym stuck

[fossil torrent]

fox

better

[night hill]

ASMM better

[fossil torrent]

fox

better

[hidden halo]

ASMM

better

[fossil torrent]

in every way

[hidden halo]

2 to 1

[fossil torrent]

fox

[night hill]

[fossil torrent]

No 2-2

[fossil torrent]

Cuz fox

[night hill]

[fossil torrent]

Well fox

[night hill]

ASMM better

[fossil torrent]

True

[hidden halo]

[hidden halo]

Well at least go glaze him and his fox somewhere else

We're trying to be productive and make a mod

[fossil torrent]

jarvis

that was the meme

sad it couldnt be posted

[hidden halo]

@pliant lantern is he allowed to be this offtopic and rude if we're trying to do good work and be constructive?

[fossil torrent]

how was i rude?

i just glazed a person and sent memes

id not like to start beef

[hidden halo]

you're starting beef if I politely ask you to not post offtopic stuff and disparage my work when i'm just trying to get this done

Nothing you've posted or said is constructive

You've posted brainrot, useless memes, instigative clips, and everything in between

[fossil torrent]

yes

[hidden halo]

No one wants you here in this channel when that's all you do

Just go away

And bother someone else

[fossil torrent]

theres a certain magic word for it

[hidden halo]

F**k?

[fossil torrent]

huh?

no its please

ill just go

[hidden halo]

I've said please multiple times

[pliant lantern]

Y'all should keep this on topic

[hidden halo]

[fossil torrent]

i think the mod is great

ThumberUp~1

[fossil torrent]

[hidden halo]

BRO SERIOUSLY

[fossil torrent]

i wanna keep things peaceful

[hidden halo]

DO YOU HAVE TO BE A DK ALL THE TIME

[fossil torrent]

i think swearing isnt needed here

[hidden halo]

fine then go

[fossil torrent]

ill head out

[fossil torrent]

have a good day puyo

[hidden halo]

Got it to work ish with no lag

rotation is super weird

but we can fix that

[hidden halo]

@night hill the shadow is from ASMM

On the front block

[night hill]

he's getting more comfortable

[hidden halo]

I changed the rendering code and I like it better like this

Extending AbstractClientPlayer instead of EntityPlayer

[fossil torrent]

so how’s the mod going so far

[hidden halo]

Going well

I forgot how much of a pain rendering is tho

I might try something with Paper as an experiment

NVM I can't render stuff serverside

[hidden halo]

I am going to upload a dump of all my images once they're done

And I want y'all to try to analyze them

[night hill]

sry just got back, whats that iron-like block that has a line through the middle and a spot on the bottom corner?

or is it just some old texture I forgot lol

[hidden halo]

Old diamond?

[night hill]

Oh, didn't recognize it with the tint

[hidden halo]

Lol

Purple diamonds go hard

[night hill]

for some reason all I can think of when I see those images is a certain purple man from a pizza place called freddy's

[hidden halo]

🤣

Gold diamonds also goes hard

[night hill]

dirty gold

just needs a quick wash and itll look fine

[hidden halo]

Lol

YES

[night hill]

wow, blue diamonds

impressive

[hidden halo]

I needed GL11.GL_RGBA

Instead of GL12.GL_BGRA

bruh

I posted code

BRUUUUU

[night hill]

well

no code I guess

I would suggest you dont send it again

dont wanna get muted or something

[hidden halo]

Can't believe I had to send a tiny snippet as a file

oops there's a typo in the comments ignore it

[night hill]

recombine as "argb" ARG spooky monster man reference?

[hidden halo]

lol

[night hill]

ooh wait

[hidden halo]

ASMM and argb

[night hill]

this can be the glitchy white ones name

argb like arg 2

[hidden halo]

ASMM's little brother

ts fire

[night hill]

I wanna make a google docs with this lore but I am too lazy

[hidden halo]

LOL

[night hill]

I will memorize it tho

[hidden halo]

I love that we are making lore from rendering mistakes

[night hill]

and the best part is that when we believe it it works out

[hidden halo]

Yes

Fully asynchronous screenshot with no lag ✅

[night hill]

very nice

[hidden halo]

Now I have to make it go from the position of the camera instead of the player 🙁

[night hill]

well

good luck

[hidden halo]

Still this took me like 4 hours to get so I'm proud of it

[hidden halo]

Yep I'mma need it

[night hill]

then we gotta deal with the website part lol

[hidden halo]

That's relatively easy

If I have the website just continuously check for the newest image

And rerender it every time it finds one

At least as a PoC it will be done

[night hill]

yes

[hidden halo]

0 lag 😄

No idea why I did 9

but yk

[night hill]

no sign of ASMM :(

[hidden halo]

I've come a long way from this

[night hill]

there is a sign of ASMM now

[hidden halo]

It's hard also to make it render the player

Wouldn't it be funny if we just had it render everything except the player

So all you'd see are shadows moving around

[night hill]

and there would be no way to tell if it was ASMM

he could safely leave his house without being seen

I just realized we are turning him into like the human kid version of bigfoot

but also spooky monster man

[hidden halo]

LOL

[hidden halo]

Just got this from my friend:

[night hill]

I see you have that one discord setting changed where it is all more compressed down and it took my like 3 tries to read that correctly lol

[hidden halo]

Holy fk what is that sign

[hidden halo]

LOL

I ❤️ compact mode

[night hill]

hes trying to communicate

[hidden halo]

Oh it was just the resolution

That's better

[night hill]

Im totally not scanning the distant forest for an ASMM appearance

[hidden halo]

It's shooting out the wrong side

The camera is facing me but it's taking a pic the other way

[night hill]

uh oh, black skies again

give asmm a cookie

[night hill]

now theres a spooky shadow

[hidden halo]

No, that's me

[hidden halo]

That says gift box if you can't read it lol

I threw a stack of diamond blocks in

[night hill]

make sure he gets his cookie too

he deserves a cookie

[hidden halo]

LWK forgot there are cookies in 1.12

done

[night hill]

nice

[hidden halo]

OK i'mma take a little break

[night hill]

k

[hidden halo]

Let ASMM have a snack

Oh i need one for argb

He's young so I left him 2

Growing kids yk

[night hill]

nice

lets hope they dont fight over them

[hidden halo]

and two milks

cookies and milk w

[night hill]

perfect

[hidden halo]

Oh dear that would be bad

[night hill]

lol, that was just ASMM, with two of them there might be no sky left

[hidden halo]

True

This is the world rn lmao

Each one of the blocks is a camera

[night hill]

can I question the pile of cameras

[hidden halo]

No

[hidden halo]

https://github.com/H1ggsK/MineWatch/blob/master/src/main/java/com/h1ggsk/minewatch/blocks/BlockCamera.java#L137

This is the code

[hidden halo]

Oof background go brrrr

[night hill]

I keep thinking I see hidden text then remembering discord makes it slightly transparent when I click the image

[hidden halo]

LOL

Older images were actually transparent since I mishandled colorspaces

[hidden halo]

Such as this one

[night hill]

🧀

[hidden halo]

Time to fix the rotation

Then the player

[hidden halo]

argb having fun with copypaste

[night hill]

dont worry about how fast I noticed it but why is there what looks like smoke

[hidden halo]

Is that him in the little white thingy in the center?

[hidden halo]

Clouds

[night hill]

it is highter than the rest of the snow, including layers

[night hill]

I dont think so, the clouds are higher, unless these are super far barely rendered ones

its on the left

[hidden halo]

Oh yeah IDK

[night hill]

maybe ASMM is teaching ARGB how to do particles

that was one of the first things

[hidden halo]

Yes

that's true that's how we first saw ASMM

[hidden halo]

isn't argb lowercase?

[night hill]

idk lol, makes sense for the little one

[hidden halo]

Yeah

[hidden halo]

Rotation fixed

Oh damn the offset

Fixed

OK now the player renderer

[night hill]

thats like the last part of cameras other than the texture right?

oh yeah I just realized I haven't been pinging you when I respond, do you want me to?

[hidden halo]

Yes plz

I have this server on mute

Since there are 5k members

[night hill]

got it, sorry

[hidden halo]

And a ton of msgs lol

[hidden halo]

Nw I check back often

[night hill]

I might start a world now on the version and start building ASMM a house so I dont have to go in it if I get an actual complete version of the mod

what version is it on?

[hidden halo]

1.12.2 forge

[night hill]

k

if you want I could make it multiplayer too

[hidden halo]

U didn't reply ping 😠

jk

lol

[night hill]

lol

[hidden halo]

Don't yet

[hidden halo]

STILL NOT REPLY PING

ok ill stop

[night hill]

got it, I will ping you for every

[night hill]

single

[night hill]

message

[hidden halo]

😭

@night hill

[night hill]

sorry Im quite late, I am still not getting notified for some reason

[hidden halo]

@night hill

[night hill]

yeah I saw that one but still didnt get it

[hidden halo]

huh

[night hill]

could you ping me in like gen chat or something to see if its this one specifically

[hidden halo]

done

[night hill]

well, I got that

that is really weird

I dont have it muted or anything

[hidden halo]

Making a simple web dashboard

[hidden halo]

Fixing an atomic write error

[hidden halo]

😭

gah ts laggy asf

[night hill]

sry, wasn't here and just got back, is a dashboard different than a website or did you make a website already?

[fossil torrent]

what do you think ts means

Just asking

[night hill]

how's the thingymajig going

[hidden halo]

this sh*t

gah this sh*t laggy as f*ck

[fossil torrent]

good

im tired of people saying this

[hidden halo]

dashboard is a simplified version of the website

[hidden halo]

it's going 😭

[hidden halo]

It's very laggy since it's iterating through chunks right now I need to fix that

I have a very very basic script atm that just continually refreshes latest.png on a local web server

It flickers a bit which I'm going to work on

[hidden halo]

Every second ish there's a big lag

[night hill]

btw I'll try to be checking these notifications but I may take a while to see them, ima be playing something

[hidden halo]

No sign of ASMM

or argb

Wait

there was an argb sign

[night hill]

they will return eventually

[hidden halo]

shi i deleted it

😭

Transparent shadows

[hidden halo]

Code drop

That only shows 100 lines of my 500 line implem

This took a LOT of work but the cameras are done ish functionally

[hidden halo]

Time to add configs

Why do you type e when I'm typing?

And then delete it?

[night hill]

so that you know Im always watching :)

unless Im not watching

[hidden halo]

that's ASMM's job

He will get mad if you try to take over his job

[night hill]

I apologize ASMM

[hidden halo]

\0\0\0\0

[brave quiver]

I remember back then I downloaded a unity game from the description of their channel

i’m not sure if I still have the file but if anyone has the file can someone send it to me and does it have any crucial lore?

[pliant lantern]

MineXplorer? Now that's a good question

It kinda was a separate project from minewatch, but I'll still ask if it did have such

[fossil torrent]

so hows the mod

[hidden halo]

\0\0\0\0

[night hill]

Ah yes, very English

[night hill]

e

[night hill]

since I feel like we shouldnt talk about this in random channel I ping you here, any updates on the mod?

[hidden halo]

I've been busy the past few days lol

It's functional atm

[night hill]

ah, thats fine

[hidden halo]

I'm struggling with getting dependencies to work

I need to add a config lib

Should I make ASMM/argb togglable or no?

For those people who don't want them messing with cameras 🙁

[night hill]

might as well

[hidden halo]

argb

I should make creepers randomly have this glitched skin

Disguised argb

[night hill]

that could be funny

[hidden halo]

When they blow up they insta kill you

I feel like a little kid would find that really funny

[night hill]

if you wanted to do a bit of coding I could help with ideas and we could hide a bunch of little fun stuff in there

dont need to tho

[hidden halo]

Yes please!

I love hiding easter eggs in my code

I actually spend more time on that than on mods sometimes lol

[night hill]

perfect lol, if you wanna do the code work I could even help make a semi-arg to hide in it

like I can do story and ciphers

you just hide them

now that I think of it, we are starting to make this our own thing, should we talk about this in dms to stop filling up this chat? or atleast maybe make a new chat for it

[hidden halo]

Also we probably shouldn't leak the plot

[night hill]

exactly

dms then?

[hidden halo]

bet

[brave quiver]

Do you have the file per chance? I've been trying to look for it on my PC but I can't find it

[brave quiver]

I just got minewatch working in 2025

I'm self-hosting the servers

[pliant lantern]

@jagged belfry

[jagged belfry]

huh

[pliant lantern]

Do you still have mineXplorer

And can you explain what mineXplorer is

[jagged belfry]

I have an archive of every public version

A friend of mine also made his server recreation software public

I will send them once I'm on pc

[pliant lantern]

👍

[small vale]

do you mean minexplorer

and im pretty sure it was up in 2025 just earlier in the year

[brave quiver]

yeah

[primal zinc]

cool
