[summer path]

what control scheme are you using?

[flat geode]

Oh wow, we all missed it, but they put the Founder's Cape on Java too now. It's on NameMC too

Oh, the Pancape too aparentlly...

No Pride Cape?

[flat geode]

They know about the Pride Cape, they show it in all of the announcement pictures for the Common Cape.

Masterpiece

[dusty thunder]

I'd watch the HELL out of this, even if it's just Amphibia again.

Just wish the sound mixing was a bit better (unless they did that so it wouldn't get copyright-struck).

[fleet marlin]

This is taking so long

[subtle socket]

where can i find a blaze spawner

or just a pile of rods i can grab

an JUST now i found one

[dusty thunder]

There's a blaze farm. All the way down the north Nether tunnel, then down the right at the end. Eventually after a looooong ice boat ride you'll come across a hole leading down into the blaze farm. It's a bit out of the way.

[subtle socket]

more than, say, 900 blocks away?

cuz the one i found is at -267 70 -633

crap, died there

:thonk:
i don't suppose anyone can donate a second elytra
so i can get my stuff back easily
and keep it in ender chest for future use

[dusty thunder]

Nope, it's at 3114, -2764. Northern nether hub tunnel. Waaaaaaaaay the heck out there. It's like a five minute ice boat ride.

Sorry I can't help you with the elytra though, I'm at work.

[mint cypress]

I'm working as well, won't be home til like 3 hours from now but if you still haven't gotten help, I'll log on

[dusty thunder]

@harsh blaze You got a minute to help Mal out?

[harsh blaze]

I can’t

I’m out doing stuff at the moment

[elfin heart]

WHAT

[rich cove]

I am making a build out of prismarine and will drown it in water when it is done. Side note, I added the finishing touches to my arena build in the form of barrier wall to add cover for the players. Simple, yet effective.

[elfin heart]

another cape that I don't have due to account BS

.....

it just up and disappeared from my Bedrock Edition account and apparently that's been a known bug for many years

[subtle socket]

got one :3 thanks dao

[mint cypress]

[subtle socket]

and it's in the ender chest, for the next time it's needed :3

[dusty thunder]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1kctsjq/so_this_is_what_the_end_dimension_looks_like_and/

Non-edited, this is zoomed waaaaaaaaaaay out with massive amounts of rendering distance.

This is the actual generation of the End. Note the very, very small beige dot in the center.

[mint cypress]

Yup it comes in rings
Try not to get hypnotized looking at it

[subtle socket]

screw that
remind me to look at this when i can do shrooms again

[dusty thunder]

Alright, so apparently the post is a repost, and the original post lists this as artwork based on the Minecraft "The End" novel. However, it is also based on an actual bug that does indeed cause the End to generate this way, and Mojang has never gotten around to fixing it. People have confirmed that these rings, as well as the gaps in between, do exist (in all worlds, afaik). They aren't meant to, but I kinda hope Mojang accepts the "bug" as an actual feature, because this ROCKS.

And it's also poetic, that the final dimension in Minecraft (for now? ) is made up of enormous circles.

[subtle socket]

circles in a cube game are great for the cosmic horror vibe of "this is fundamentally different and wrong"

[dusty thunder]

[mint cypress]

One potential problem is that the gaps become larger the further you go, so there will be a lot of empty space
Although you'd also have to really far for it to be an issue

The first ring ends at about 370,000 blocks, so it's not exactly an easy to encounter bug

IIRC the "rings" are all the same size, in terms of area, so this results in the rings getting thinner and thinner the further you go out

[dusty thunder]

It's super eerie

[summer scaffold]

what the fuck

[fleet marlin]

It's almost like the dragon's domain has a literal ripple effect on the entire dimension

[flat geode]

Especially with that End Flash in vibrant visuals

[rich cove]

I am sooooo stoked to send pics of my "underwater" base in the morning!

I really like how it turned out, even before I furnish it out.

[flat geode]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNOWp8wLNro

Oh, they put someone I know in the vid

Guy in Canada. I've talked to him before (He's also a mapmaker)

It is a very good video, I'd recommend a watch

[mint cypress]

[grave ravine]

some shots of the Nether with Faithful 64x and shaders. Stepping one block can do a big difference to the overall mood due to the fog change...

the fog appears to move in space by casting "caustics" on all surfaces, which moves around over time

it looks great in motion. It's an interesting way of faking volumetric fog

[dusty thunder]

Are you using complimentary shaders?

Because if so, there's a mod you can use to enhance them even further.

https://modrinth.com/mod/euphoria-patches

[grave ravine]

yeah

I already tweaked a bunch of settings, using the Ultra preset and some changes

[dusty thunder]

Niiice

[grave ravine]

I like how the extreme settings look like they're groaning at you for choosing them

with the rapidly changing characters

some more screenshots in the rain

does this embed work?

ah no 😦

I tried to use https://autocompressor.net/'s AV1-to-WebM remuxing

https://autocompressor.net/av1?v=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.catbox.moe%2Ftvmlji.webm&w=1280&h=720

that one seems to work. It's a 120 FPS capture, direct from the raw AV1 encode

[elfin heart]

ooh, if we're sharing shaderpacks, this super lightweight one impressed me with its performance! https://modrinth.com/shader/mellow

I'm playing on a 9 year old laptop with 8GB RAM and an nvidia GTX 950M, so I can get the game to run at 60fps on modern versions as long as I use all the optimization mods. Adding these shaders kept consistent 60fps to my surprise

[dusty thunder]

Mellow's a good one, yeah

Lightweight, pretty, and rather "soft" on the lighting and mood.

Very cozy

[rich cove]

https://youtu.be/8IyLQgKMoN8?si=m-Rjk53BLp_jFXtT

Oh right, free nitro means I have this pfp

[fleet marlin]

Almost

[fleet marlin]

Fuming

[little rampart]

did you miss a pixel somewhere?

[fleet marlin]

I've been looking and I don't see any missing ones

[little rampart]

or do they need to be on the floor

[fleet marlin]

Though it's kind of a pain in the ass to tell if it's actually a missing pixel or just sand

It's because locator maps don't work for the achievement on bedrock...

I see why this has a less than 1% rate on xbox

[flat geode]

omg, don't they have tags...

[flat geode]

THE LEAKS WERE somewhat TRUE! https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-25w20a

Craftable saddles and new music!

This is also a nice change

This music, plus a music disc

But, there is also a new panorama so I think that might be all the major changes complete

I was hoping for a little more with horses...

[summer scaffold]

oooh i like the music toast thing

[flat geode]

Yeah, I've used a mod like this before. It's nice

The music disc is... interesting...

The ghast drops the music disc when killed by a fireball deflected by a player

[glad gale]

New music disc get!

[dusty thunder]

New music is always great. Will listen to it later.

[flat geode]

Well, I'll say it's quite different than anything else

[dusty thunder]

Also, craftable saddles. Finally. It only took them like, what, 15 years?

[dusty thunder]

In what way? Is it like the broken disc?

[grave ravine]

they'll break the saddleconomy

all those people who hunted dungeons for 15 years to get saddles...

[flat geode]

As a fisher, I care a lot about the saddleconomy

[elfin heart]

new musicccc 🎶

one of the only things missing from the last few updates

[flat geode]

The art is so nice

[harsh blaze]

I’m so happy with the music changes

Always wanted the music playing near constantly or with minimal breaks

now I can make that happen

[dusty thunder]

Huh, so dungeons are now called "Monster Rooms". I wonder why?

I wonder if that's a hint towards actual dungeons being added someday?

[sleek bane]

https://derpibooru.org/images/3592533 this fills me with joy

[summer scaffold]

oh interesting

[harsh blaze]

first night on PonyCraft

[flat geode]

They've been called that since 1.14 I think

[harsh blaze]

I remember my first night, it was full of walking to where I’d build my base

[little rampart]

What saddleconomy? I throw away so many saddles from fishing

[flat geode]

I don't think I do, I try to sell them or acquire new horses to put them on.

I need to make a horse ranch or something...

[flat geode]

Oh, I'm blind, these are the last features. This is the update

I guess when they change the panorama, the update is pretty much complete. Good to know

[dusty thunder]

Very small drop this time around. Then again, 1.21.5 was actually pretty big in terms of new content. Makes sense that this one would be smaller content-wise so that they could focus on backend changes to prepare for the Vibrant Visuals and other major changes.

[flat geode]

I'm kinda disapointed with the horses tho, I feel like there's more planned for them maybe in the future

[harsh blaze]

I’m curious as to if we’ll get a major content update in the winter instead of the sunmer

[dusty thunder]

I hope we do. These small updates are absolutely killing the modding scene. Modders aren't happy at all, and even casual players are getting annoyed at having to update constantly.

I don't mind them in theory, but there's just too many right now.

[flat geode]

It looks like there will be 4 a year

or hopefully, 3 drops and 1 update

[dusty thunder]

We barely just finished 1.21.5 a few days ago and already 1.21.6 is almost ready. Mod devs are tired.

[flat geode]

Yeah, it's not just mods tho

Shaders, datapacks, maps, all of it is affected

[dusty thunder]

Exactly. It's all under the same umbrella.

It's something you're adding to the game.

Thus a "mod".

[flat geode]

I'd like to stull support 1.21.4 in Battle Towers 2, but they keep updating things.

and coming up, I'm about to release a data/resource pack which I'll also have to maintain

and I have plans for more things in the future

[summer scaffold]

holy shit you can pick specific paintings from the creative menu now ?????

or is this a mod i dont know i have installed

[dusty thunder]

Nope, it's vanilla

Creative-exclusive feature

[summer scaffold]

that's awesome

[dusty thunder]

It was added in...I wanna say 1.21.3 or 1.21.4?

[summer scaffold]

oh so fairly recent

[dusty thunder]

Yeah

[flat geode]

In the operators tab, you can even get the 4 secret paintings

[dusty thunder]

Not really "secret", just unused.

The four element paintings, iirc.

[flat geode]

Yup

[summer scaffold]

lemme check the wiki

[dusty thunder]

They should make it so wandering traders can sell specific paintings, including those four.

[summer scaffold]

oh the movie has it's own Wiki tab now that's cool

[flat geode]

ooo, that'd be cool

I wonder if I can make them craftable in survival

[summer scaffold]

the MC Wiki is still one of the best fan wikis ever

[mint cypress]

CRAFTABLE SADDLES

[flat geode]

Yup!

to both now ig lol

[mint cypress]

i mean i have shulker boxes of saddles but still

[summer scaffold]

heh, i like the "Humble" painting

[flat geode]

I get so many from fishing

[summer scaffold]

representing Iowa 🙏

good grief there's so many more new ones than i thought

oh here's the element ones

they're pretty cool

[dusty thunder]

....Why though?

[dusty thunder]

The element ones are suuuuuper old. Surprised Mojang remembered them.

[flat geode]

I don't they did necessarily. Any painting that doesn't have the #placeable tag in the game shows up in there, it's the default place. I accidentally forgot to put that tag in my datapack one time when making custom paintings.

[mint cypress]

lotta exploring and looting chests

[flat geode]

I just love fishing...

[rich cove]

@dusty thunder @summer scaffold https://youtube.com/shorts/YonaAev9hug?si=qyysIH9kaytTkeRO

Oh...tis known already

[flat geode]

I'm not tired of fishing, but I wouldn't mind if they made the chances of getting a saddle lower. I have barrels of saddles...

[harsh blaze]

war room for my castle

[rich cove]

Oh hell yeah! New music disc!

Gained by deflecting a ghast's fireball back at it

[subtle socket]

sweet, can't wait to watch a bunch of those drop into lava :3

(i'm not bein pessimistic i'm just bein silly dw)

[dusty thunder]

The new music disc is a banger. The Nether has become the place to go if you wanna dance and party hard.

As for the other five songs, suuuuper chill, and I would even go as far to say that O's Piano is as close to a new C418 song in the game as we're gonna get without the man himself working on it.

[rich cove]

This was confirmed in the movie with the talent shows lol

[flat geode]

They changed some splashes

[flat geode]

These are funny, but pretty janky

[summer scaffold]

flint and steel !!!!

[harsh blaze]

[flat geode]

From the Vibrant Vanguard discord server. While unofficial, they do have this on some of their radars.

[onyx crow]

Yeah, an LOD system would be a whole other project

as opposed to making the shaders prettier

[harsh blaze]

at least make the LODs not shit

distant horizons has really weird LODs

[subtle socket]

yeah i like distant horizons but it does get to me

[mint cypress]

Removed "Minors welcome!"

💀

at least we got chicken jockey 🐔

[subtle socket]

is this a "funny/laughing" skull emoji or

[dusty thunder]

Very dumb LODs, but at least it's not as noticeable if you have high enough normal render distance.

It's the completely green or grey blobs that do not look good.

[subtle socket]

and the 1-block-thin towers that render as a whole freakin chunk

[flat geode]

Yeah, I just use Bobby

[dusty thunder]

I thought Bobby was server-based?

[flat geode]

It saves everything client-side

[dusty thunder]

Is it very resource-intensive?

[flat geode]

I don't notice much, but I do have a decent computer

Rarely it does crap out and have big lag problems, but I've prob haven't experienced that for a few months

The cost is mainly the storage space

[subtle socket]

yeah i don't use bobby specifically because i have a steam deck
they're not exactly potatoes but i don't want to push it

[dusty thunder]

Hmmm, in that case maybe not. I've got lots of storage, but I'd rather not press my luck.

I may try out Distant Horizons though. I'm not a fan of how ugly the LODs are, but I'm hoping I can minimize their prominence a fair bit by having a high enough render distance so that it doesn't matter as much.

My new computer basically doubled/tripled my FPS, and I can even play at 120 FPS with shaders now, so Distant Horizons shouldn't be an issue.

[grave ravine]

I have yet to look at LOD mods on my end

but since I use shaders, using a render distance of 16 without anything else is already quite demanding

without shaders, I can do 64 without too much trouble, but most of the time I'm just not in an area where it makes a difference

[novel mica]

finally after opening 19 ominous vaults i have one

thing is im not actually done raiding trial chambers because i still need to get the creator music disc

[flat geode]

That is quite necessary

[mint cypress]

It's mandatory to have Creator and Creator Jukebox Version

[flat geode]

They're both Jukebox versions?

[grave ravine]

the power of screen-space reflections

[flat geode]

Oh, Music Box

[mint cypress]

Yep that's what I meant, sorry

[novel mica]

looks like the backrooms

[flat geode]

I wanna try the backrooms again in Minecraft

[novel mica]

cool

i finally reached 1000 slimes killed in my forever world

this is important because im doing a quest which i call "doom slayer" and the objective is to kill 1000 of every mob in the entire game

[flat geode]

Even bosses?

[novel mica]

yes although that will take absolutely forever

the wither is honestly gonna be so much worse than ender dragon because i also need to 3000 wither skulls in order to kill 1000 withers

so far i have killed 3 withers

[flat geode]

Passive mobs too?

[novel mica]

yes

also one of those nether stars is was used for my 0,0 monument

the big tower with the crystal

[summer scaffold]

gonna put someone in the crystal

put them in the crystal for one minute it's gonna feel like one week

[flat geode]

What?

[rich cove]

Now kill 1000 each of the 2700 different tropical fish

😈 😈 😈

[harsh blaze]

Thankfully they aren’t individually tracked so you won’t have to do that

I say take it easy with the boss mobs, killing a thousand dragons, withers, and especially elder guardians will be tedious and boring after a while

At least with normal mobs, you can set up a farm to make it easier

[glad gale]

It puts me at risk of a crash if I crank it up past 32 chunks render distance.

[novel mica]

Well that's the thing it only counts if you kill them directly if a non player mechanism kills them it won't count

Also I just realised skeleton horses will be very tough to kill 1000 of due to how they spawn

[harsh blaze]

I was suggesting a standard mob grinder with a manual kill chamber at the bottom

[novel mica]

Oh ok

[fleet marlin]

I don't think the Doom Slayer is running around killing regular ass animals

[slate parrot]

Yeah, Doomguy loves animals, especially rabbits

He just hates demons cuz they destroyed everything he loved

[onyx crow]

Doomguy stomps home, covered in demon blood, his eyes wild from demon bloodlust

And then he stops to crouch down and pet a cute bunny

[slate parrot]

Extremely accurate

[summer path]

The bunny is his mechanic, and will provide shotgun upgrades in return for pets

i loved the movie a lot but it did kind of annoy me that Steve says he has a full set of diamond armor but no leggings !

[mint cypress]

movie is unplayable i mean unwatchable bc of that

[sleek bane]

Since it's on streaming there is a very real chance my friends put it on whenever we visit lol

[flat geode]

Sadly real people have knees

[mint cypress]

instead of diamond leggings, why not diamond shorts?

Oh, interesting. I hope they add more cave sounds

[summer path]

minecraft is a very scary game haha

no really, that's genuine, it spooks me a lot

untill i get some armour and shields, i fear every mob lol

[mint cypress]

Minecraft is a horror game

[summer scaffold]

when playing alone it is kind of eerie

[summer path]

yeah 100% lol. Nothing like walking out of the caves, only it's nighttime, but you need to get back with the iron or you won't have any defences lmao

Talk about running like the wind to avoid everything

I now want to build pony in Creative

Who?

I will use template/guide

lmao thanks for sharing it while it lasted

[flat geode]

WHAT!

Damn

Wonder why

They have other priorities

OMG, it's just the chicken jockey clip over and over again

It started on the 14th

[summer scaffold]

NOOOOOO i wanted to watch that

[dusty thunder]

This is so stupid

[glad gale]

...so stupid.
And it'll probably make WB more than my yearly salary in ad revenue

[novel mica]

i finally have every music disc!

[flat geode]

Nice! I usually try to get them all. I am a bit scared of the nether tho, pigstep is always last

[dusty thunder]

They're adding a new one in 1.21.6

[novel mica]

creator was the last one for me it took fighting through 7 different trial chambers to get it

[flat geode]

One of the first for me, I love it so much

[novel mica]

yeah but its the easiest one by far

[dusty thunder]

I'm a little annoyed that the three trial chamber discs aren't grouped together. The ancient city disc should be next to the compass.

[flat geode]

wdym?

[novel mica]

fixed it

[flat geode]

oh in the image

[dusty thunder]

There we go, organizational crisis averted. :P

[novel mica]

also i decided to put cat and 13 in the bottom left since they were the first music discs

[flat geode]

Yeah, they should go together

[novel mica]

also one thing that always annoyed me is that all the non C418 discs are a unique colour except for otherside

[flat geode]

tbf, in 1.18, pigstep was the odd one out and the norm hadn't been established yet

[novel mica]

yeah

[summer scaffold]

did they change the 11 texture or am i insane

[dusty thunder]

I don't mind. I find it cool, gives each one a more unique/treasure vibe.

[summer scaffold]

i remember it being like

way worse

[dusty thunder]

I think that one might be a texture pack tweak?

[summer scaffold]

the wiki has the one i member https://minecraft.wiki/images/Music_Disc_11_JE2_BE2.png?daaef

[dusty thunder]

Oh, that's why

They're using the old textures

[novel mica]

yes

[dusty thunder]

This is the old version of 11:

[flat geode]

Programmer Art

[novel mica]

no actually

i use a texture pack that changes everything back to beta 1.7 textures

[flat geode]

Or

Super Programmer Art

[summer scaffold]

wait do yoy use Golden Days

[novel mica]

its called the SalC1 texture pack

[summer scaffold]

o

i use Golden Days

[flat geode]

With a difference that big, don't you think the 1.14+ textures stand out a bit?

[novel mica]

i only played beta 1.7 for like 2 years so i got used to the textures

[novel mica]

also because programmer art has issues with a few certain textures most notably nylium

and nether gold ore

[flat geode]

Oh, right. There are packs that fix that I think tho

[summer scaffold]

nylium ?

[flat geode]

The Nether Forest flooring

[summer scaffold]

right

Brandon Pearce stated that the warden mob is based on the "monster" heard at the end of "11".[4]

this is fucking awesome

[flat geode]

Mr. Bowtie?

[novel mica]

i remember how much of a hell it was if you wanted to use ice in your builds in beta 1.7 because you either had to build in a snowy biome and freeze water or you had to piston push ice hundreds of blocks from a snowy biome

[flat geode]

Crazy

[rich cove]

I will build pixel art derpy tomorrow

Keep in mind, it will just be me following a template lol

Maybe I'll make that Sonata pony i helped make in maneplace too!

Idk

[flat geode]

Well, I guess good things always come to an end

[whole python]

That is a really atmospheric shot, and great terraforming.

[flat geode]

Thanks, I really wanted to nail something special as this is for my April Fools Special on Saphy

[dusty thunder]

Ngl, I love that "fade to black" effect. Way better than the one in Java.

[rich cove]

I built Derpy! (Pixel Art)

Picture in morning

What character pixel art should I do next?

[glad gale]

Don't hate me for adding to your plate, GT...but I bet there's a mod for that

[flat geode]

Oh, happy birthday mate! May your nights last forever

[harsh blaze]

thank you!!!

[flat geode]

Horse healing!

[rich cove]

@harsh blaze This is going to be my template

Found it online

[flat geode]

ooo, wow. That's a big build

GL

[rich cove]

Some colors are gonna have to be substituted, but if I focus it should be grand

Well, maybe just one

[flat geode]

Which one? I could try to help find blocks for ya

[rich cove]

It looks like the hair is multiple different shades of purple, but it'll just be OURPLE in the build because there aren't enough shades lol

[flat geode]

ahh

Fair and I'm not about to spout out about glass layering

[rich cove]

I'll mainly use Concrete, as glass is see through and thus you can see the grass layer below which throws off the palette

I'm thinking Purple, Magenta, Pink, Light Blue, Blue, Cyan, White, and Black Concrete should be all that I need

[flat geode]

You'd put a block under the glass and since glass is see through, it changes the color slightly

[rich cove]

oh. well....maybe

[flat geode]

Oh this is interesting, Vibrant Visuals might have some unique sounds in certain situations

[harsh blaze]

Hell yeah!

Good luck!

[zinc epoch]

Golden:D

[flat geode]

Oh, so this is the difference between the old and new clouds

[novel mica]

tall island

[rich cove]

Look at the pink at the top. Does that look good for the color in the template?

Also the other purples lol

[flat geode]

Oh, there she is

Was about to ask for that

[flat geode]

I can't tell exactly, the ref is quite bright up there

[rich cove]

It's pink glass over a layer of pink concrete

For the build, I mean

It's the best I can find because Pink concrete is too dark but glass is see through

I want a solid color that is more like pink glazed terracotta, without the design

[flat geode]

It looks good

[rich cove]

It's definitely a challenge, to say the least

[flat geode]

This cloud rains creepers

[rich cove]

heh

[dusty thunder]

I'm guessing the new pattern is the right one? It looks muuuuch better, imo. Less "snowy noise" and more actually "cloudy".

Also, the creeper face is 100% intentional.

[flat geode]

Yup, I love new easter eggs

[rich cove]

oh ma celeste! It looks so good!

[harsh blaze]

Looks good!

[novel mica]

nice

[fleet marlin]

Look at this diamond vein

[dusty thunder]

Can barely see with no lighting, but that looked like 12? Nice find!

[fleet marlin]

It's not like I was expecting to find this

But yeah, 12

[vocal eagle]

I make it a point, whenever I find a diamond vein, to dig completely around it first. That way I never lose any to lava or void.

[fleet marlin]

Normally I'm the same, but honestly I'm far enough into the game it wouldn't matter to me

I wasn't even mining

I was tunneling for a wither fight

My first ever

Obviously I had to pause that to go make a display for this though

[summer scaffold]

badass

[fleet marlin]

Y'all recon I'm ready?

[dusty thunder]

I would've used a power 5 bow instead of a crossbow, but yeah, you should be fine. Just make sure you stay a good distance away.

[fleet marlin]

That will only work for the first half tho

But yeah I've got a tunnel leading back from the room

[rich cove]

My next template after NMM is done

NOT DOING THE WHITE BACKGROUND

I'm on mobile and the template is on my laptop so no more Moonie tonight

Oh right, the Bedrock Wither is on a different level than the Java one

It summons wither skeletons?

[fleet marlin]

Appearently

Appearently hard difficulty was a bad choice als

On bedrock difficulty affects the wither and The Wither's healthpool

Also most of my health loss was trying to find the damn thing

[fleet marlin]

Ok I've brewed some regen potions (idk why I did instant health only originally) and a night vision potion

Gonna get my hands on good bow

[dusty thunder]

Oooooh...right, I forgot on Bedrock the fight is a little different. There isn't any wither skeletons or secondary explosion on Java.

[flat geode]

There's a second explosion too!

[dusty thunder]

I just said that

[flat geode]

I am being shocked by your statement

[dusty thunder]

Oh, lol

Yeah, Bedrock has two explosions, the first one when it starts up, and a second one when it reaches the second phase. Also, once it's in the melee phase, it starts summoning a bunch of wither skeletons to hunt you down. It's a much tougher fight in Bedrock, and I kinda wish they updated Java to it.

[harsh blaze]

mojang will do parity for all the stupid shit in-game (grass in shattered savanna) but won't do parity for actually useful stuff, like the Wither or standardizing axe damage across versions

[dusty thunder]

I don't mind parity coming no matter how small. Remember, they also added the fallen trees from Bedrock to Java. I love those things, they add so much atmosphere.

[dusty thunder]

[rich cove]

Help me Discord. You are my only hope.

When is Pony Craft server updating to 1.21.5

[flat geode]

I just found out that I have 66GB of Minecraft worlds, just the worlds

minecraft pvp recording test (Im a bit rusty)

[little rampart]

once all the mods are ready. we were still waiting on some last i checked

[dusty thunder]

Once Dynamap and CoreProtect are updated to 1.21.5, we can update. CoreProtect is simple enough, but Dynamap usually takes a long time.

We're otherwise ready to update.

[whole python]

Heh, I kinda want to see a mod that lets you do this now.

Possibly OP, but cluster ballooning slowly around with a ton of Bees would be hilarious.

[whole python]

Also brings to mind a possible interesting mod/change to Leads.

When the lead breaks, it doesn't fall but instead returns to your inventory, minus some Durability to signify that it was broken and shortened/tied back together for a quick fix.

You can repair it 'properly' (read: restore Durability) by crafting it with more Slime and String to 're-weave' it.

Maybe some enchantments for Leads too, like "Stretch I, II, III".

[glad gale]

Enchanted leads.... there's an idea

Happy ghast isn't quite bee ballooning.... it's close, tho

I'm working on a happy ghast docking station. Will be making a video about it

[sleek bane]

It's crazy how people can make stuff like this

[flat geode]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Lp4N0HRS0

Uploaded pure chaos special

I do make a bit of a "It's About Time" ref in the intro tho

[novel mica]

whenever i use someone's art im always sure to credit the person who made the art

[flat geode]

This is interesting, especially given what I know

[subtle socket]

when a company the size of microsoft does literally anything, i assume the worst intent

[novel mica]

i took the survery i think what they're trying to do is see what java mods people most want to come to bedrock edition

[flat geode]

They clearly are trying to move Java stuff to Bedrock

I won't try to talk to much about it tho because I think I have some insider info

[flat geode]

They also targeted the realms mapmakers

[novel mica]

they recently made modding bedrock edition much harder so its only fair that they add java mods to the marketplace

[subtle socket]

yeah i think they want more control over stuff
like, someone over there is visualizing a world where it's all bedrock edition and all "mods" are on the microsoft store, so they can bully mod authors around

either that or just directly microsoft-owned apps

the good news is bullies tend to be pretty incompetent, so the mod scene is not at risk of being killed any time soon, however much they'd like to

tldr i don't trust bedrock edition and have no plans to move to it

[novel mica]

if your future goes through then maybe in 20 years the modding scene might be smaller than it is now

[subtle socket]

yeah

[flat geode]

I feel like it's more of just a move of Java stuff to marketplace so they can profit more

[novel mica]

assuming we're all still alive in the year 2045

[flat geode]

I got to talk with the head of creators a couple days ago

[subtle socket]

we're saying more or less the same thing in different terms

[novel mica]

and also to make java mods accessible to bedrock players

also a lot of java mods are stuck on versions that are years old

[flat geode]

A concern is keeping things up to date, I think I can talk more about that one

[subtle socket]

if they make new versions of defunct java mods then i definitely don't trust that

[flat geode]

A lot of other mapmakers feel this way about their maps

[novel mica]

imagine how much of a pain it would be for the devs to have to keep updating they're mods to work with the latest version because on bedrock you cant easily play older versions

[flat geode]

ooof, yeah

I try to keep a version of my map on the old update at least a month that the new one is out

[subtle socket]

ooh yeah
yeah, one tangible reason (as opposed to my borderline-tinfoil-hat reasons) to mistrust bedrock

[novel mica]

one of things i love about java edition is how you can play old versions without needing to download a custom launcher

[flat geode]

I do want to try and port any map I make to Bedrock tho

[novel mica]

on the question they ask u what java mods do you wanna see in bedrock i put carpet mod,biomes o' plenty and tinker's construct

[subtle socket]

when you say "map" what is that

[flat geode]

I made a minigame map that is being added to the realms program

[novel mica]

oh yeah and replay mod

[flat geode]

It's called Battle Towers 2

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/worlds/battle-towers-2

Being a realms mapmaker is how I know some insider stuff

[flat geode]

There isn't really many avenues to being compensated for the work I put into these maps

Even being on Realms doesn't net me anything

I mean, I do like playing the maps and the 4 cape points are also cool, but still

[novel mica]

damn

[novel mica]

this is something i like to call the Giant.Underground.Sphere.Project or G.U.S.P for short

its 96 blocks in diameter

and i've been digging it out on and off for months now

[subtle socket]

that's no moon... that's a GUSP

lol

[subtle socket]

nah it's too big to be a gusp. chewy, bring us in

[novel mica]

also

yeah over 80,000 deepslate

[subtle socket]

i assume the first column is "number of these you've mined"

[novel mica]

yes

[subtle socket]

is this screen a mod or vanilla

[novel mica]

its just the statistics page which is a vanilla feature

although it might only exist in java edition

im not sure

[subtle socket]

i don't use bedrock edition
even if i were on windows which i'm not

i'm evicting microsoft and google from my digital life

[novel mica]

damn so you've never clicked the statistics button on the pause screen

[subtle socket]

it's been a real long time since i played minecraft before joining manecraft

[novel mica]

ah ok

[subtle socket]

long enough that i don't think it existed

[novel mica]

when was the last time you played

[subtle socket]

not sure

some time before wardens i think

[novel mica]

ok so before 2022

also you know how you talked about getting microsoft out of your life

im considering becoming a linux user instead of upgrading to windows 11

[subtle socket]

wise

linux still has work to do on user friendliness (especially if you're disabled, so i hear)

but yknow
it's either that or big brother

[novel mica]

[elfin heart]

I think tinker’s construct is on Bedrock

[glad gale]

They left a lot on the table on the things they didn't show in the film.... maybe do they can do sequels

[dusty thunder]

I wonder if tomorrow is gonna be a pre-release, or if there's still some more smaller content snapshots left (not so much "new" features, but more like changes, parity additions, polishing, etc.)

[flat geode]

Do the first pre-releases release on a normal Snapshot Wednesday Tuesday?

[dusty thunder]

Usually, and then it goes to "any day we have a pre-release ready to go".

[flat geode]

Ah, cool. I am so worried about losing my one set because that's pretty much all I have and I'm also poor

I wonder if that had something to do with my previous shovel expenditures...

[flat geode]

I play Bedrock for 0.1 second

I just wanted to know how the healing mechanics worked

[elfin heart]

when java does something like this it's a classic minecraft worldgen moment (see: the goofy ass savannah village farms that never spawn quite right and either get water flowing everywhere or crops growing out of path blocks)

the bugs that make bedrock, bugrock, are the really bad ones where people suddenly die without warning because the game thought they fell off a ledge but didn't show it visually to them

[flat geode]

Yeah lol

I also wasn't expecting for someone to randomly join me

[fleet marlin]

Yeah unless you turn that off in world settings people in your friends list can join

[grave ravine]

because the game thought they fell off a ledge but didn't show it visually to them
GTA 3 with no framerate limiter moment

[elfin heart]

I tried joining a warriorcats RP server and the tutorial admin was about to test me on the plot of the first book before I cracked and admitted I hadn't read any of them

[flat geode]

Pre-Release 1 is here!

Not much changed other than some interesting pack changes like a dialogue key bind, various dialogue changes, and changes to how player heads are used.

I'm assuming they're going to announce the name and release date whenever the Minecraft Monthly drops

[novel mica]

exterior vs interior

[elfin heart]

very cool 👀

I saw a similar interior that blew me away earlier this week. It used chiseled bookshelves really well to compliment the rainbow palette

[elfin heart]

anyone make "wrong" houses for fun?

[summer path]

I've not tried it, but it looks fun

[subtle socket]

ok that's rad

escher-lite type shit

[grave ravine]

anyone make "wrong" houses for fun?
I made a house entirely of glass once

I realized it wasn't great as mobs kept staring at you at night

[subtle socket]

you should throw rocks at them

[grave ravine]

spiders also climb on top and try to reach you until you get out

[glad gale]

Sounds ideal for those living in glass houses. Yup

[flat geode]

You didn't go far enough. Make the land of glass, no mobs

[rich cove]

I haven't worked on NMM in a few days. I should continue that soon, but I need another big project

Any ideas?

Maybe, more pixel art? Or a big build?

[flat geode]

What about a voxel art?

I was able to make this Dry Bones by cross-referencing two pixel arts

[whole python]

That exists in Orespawn, though I think it does have mobs.

what amazes me the most is how Notch got 2614 FPS on hardware from 2009

his PC was admittedly pretty high-end at the time, but still

[flat geode]

That... I didn't notice that

Crazy insane mate

[summer scaffold]

what the fuck holy hell

that's so many frames

[dusty thunder]

It's not just that. Minecraft at the time barely had anything to render, and two chunk distance was about all you could do.

So of course it ran extremely well

[flat geode]

Yeah, fair

[dusty thunder]

Even a potato computer would be getting several hundred FPS

[summer scaffold]

have you ever noticed how Steve looks like Tommy Vercetti

[dusty thunder]

...No. Because who is Tommy Vercetti?

[summer scaffold]

I can't believe Minecraft pulled a Grian

[dusty thunder]

Tbf, this is what many builders do.

Also, many builders do not add interiors, and it infuriates me when they don't.

For real though, jokes aside, that's a great looking build (front), though the grass on the roof is a bit much imho.

[summer scaffold]

finally someone feels the same way

it does annoy me when people don't add interiors

[grave ravine]

Hmm, nice cart.

[flat geode]

Yup, a whole year essentially. Main development started in May of last year

This also means all of my little pony references are also on realms now...

[flat geode]

Awww, the drop name leaked. I don't know about the date tho

[dusty thunder]

What's the name? Not really a spoiler so you can share it.

[flat geode]

Chase the Skies

[dusty thunder]

That's an interesting name

[flat geode]

It was from a translated article that got leaked and I learned about it from ibxtoycat

[glad gale]

They really dropped the ball, not calling it Ghastly Summer

[dusty thunder]

Eh, too "Halloween-y" for summer.

The actual update isn't even spooky

[novel mica]

new high score!

level 140

[subtle socket]

race you to level 420 :3

(i really won't tho)

[glad gale]

Ironically, all my near term base projects match the 'Chase the Sky' name more than 'Ghastly Summer' after all

[flat geode]

Only one of mine does, but it will be so epic!

[rich cove]

Made progress on Dashie and NMM

[novel mica]

i have been building up this island for the past 9 months and completing it and fully filling it in is one of the main goals of my world

began with this build the "town hall" as i called it
the second image was it under construction back in august 2024

[flat geode]

oooo, looks amazing!

[summer path]

looks good!

[novel mica]

this giant thing close to the centre of the island is "Prot mill"
is a build that is very special to where i live its based of real life
buildings in Manchester these buildings were giant cotton mills built during the industrial revolution

[harsh blaze]

Manchester NH?

or Manchester in the UK

[novel mica]

Manchester UK

[harsh blaze]

Ah I see

Looks good!

alright what do you think of this balcony i made

I love looking through the data stuff of Minecraft. The #boat item tag includes normal boats and chest boats, but the #boat entity tag doesn't include chest boats.

Subscribe for more useless Minecraft facts

[novel mica]

cool

[dusty thunder]

Okay guys, be honest, does this look like a 2D horse sculpture to you? Something about it feels...off.

Maybe the snout is too long

Yeah, getting rid of the slab on the snout was the right call, but it still looks off.

[summer scaffold]

i think he looks pretty good

or she

[flat geode]

Maybe a bit on the front legs? but the horse looks great envisioning it without the long snout

oooo, maybe more tail?

[dusty thunder]

How's this?

Rounded some things and made the front "legs" look a little thicker with an extra slab.

...I just realized that the scultpure isn't gonna work for what I had planned, but I can still use it somewhere in my base on the server. Maybe as decorative wall art?

[harsh blaze]

Make a foreleg kick out instead of both being together

killed my 1000th enderman!

that officially makes 8 different mobs i have killed over 1000 of

the others are
Creepers
Skeletons
Zombies
Spiders
Zombie Pigmen
Magma Cubes
and Slimes

i talked about it before but this is part of my custom "doom slayer" achievement which is too kill 1000 of every mob in the game

[elfin heart]

oooh reminds me of a Discord statue I once made

I'm pretty beginner at making something like that usually, but I think having a reference image can be the key to success!

[novel mica]

nice but should've made it bigger then it could be more detailed

[elfin heart]

it had to be small to fit in the train car that the build was contained in. There was a cloud with a rainbow right above it

but yes, it could be way better at a bigger scale!

[fleet marlin]

Fought the wither again

This time with night vision, on normal instead of hard, and with a power V bow instead of a crossbow, also healing arrows

Honestly kind of a cake walk

I also made a bundle, dyed it green, and filled it with "lucky" items

Had that on me

[summer path]

nice work

[flat geode]

I just noticed this

[dusty thunder]

Noticed what?

[flat geode]

There's a pixel that has hitbox, but isn't there

On the right

I mean it makes sense because of the directionality of lily pads and them having a single pixel center while most other blocks have double centers

[grave ravine]

lilypad texture is misaligned, yeah

it could be fixed at render time by offsetting its mesh

or the bruteforce solution of having it in a 32x32 texture so it can be moved by half a pixel...

[rich cove]

My next project

[harsh blaze]

honestly lily pads shouldn’t even be aligned to anything. Let them be placed freely around a block like flowers

[flat geode]

Yeah, feel like it should be like that. gives justifiability to the hitbox size

[harsh blaze]

makes them feel more natural too

[grave ravine]

flowers are a bit of a weird case, they have a randomized position based on the hash of the X/Y/Z coordinate

so if you break and replace a flower at the same position, it'll have the same offset

[flat geode]

Lily pads are kinda like that, just with rotation

[harsh blaze]

that and they should also have a randomized position

[glad gale]

I finally watched it, and wow... that 2nd part hits hard....

[dusty thunder]

Ooooooh that second half of the video is beautiful. I teared up when she saw that Izzy brought all of their friends to play with them, even Discord.

Fluttershy just being happy to feel included and to be in her element is one of the best things ever.

[flat geode]

That's a big number

Guess we aren't getting this on Java then

These are some interesting changes tho

But with previews moving on, I think we should get Chase the Skies in the next two weeks

[dusty thunder]

Lots of little biome changes. I wonder if the next update or game drop (please be an actual full scale update, I'm tired of game drops already) is gonna be about biome enhancements. Maybe we'll finally get all those other biome additions from the votes?

[flat geode]

I don't think whatever release they are planning in the fall will be a full update

If anything they'll probably save that for whenever they have a Minecraft Live

Which would be a winter release or this time next year

[dusty thunder]

Maybe

[little rampart]

Whatever it is i hope mod makers can keep up in a reasonable time

[dusty thunder]

Same

It's why I'm getting sick of the game drops. I just managed to update most of my mod list to 1.21.5 and we're almost to 1.21.6. I'm gonna have to do it all again.

It almost makes me wonder...if they keep doing game drops like this, should we instead stick to updating the server every 2-3 game drops so that we don't constantly get stuck in this cycle?

[summer scaffold]

i really miss one or two big updates a year lol, i know people hated that for some reason but i think it was more convenient and made them more special

[flat geode]

2 seems fair. You are skipping to 1.21.6 on the server, right?

[dusty thunder]

People hated the wait times, but I genuinely think that this is way, WAY worse.

[flat geode]

21.6 I mean

[dusty thunder]

Pretty much. There isn't a point in updating to 1.21.5 if we're getting .6 in about two weeks.

It just makes more work for Rom and Shadowtrot

[little rampart]

I'll update the server if all the mods are ready and the next update hasn't started doing pre-release snapshots. That sounds like a good plan

It's really not a lot of work, shadowtrot set up a lot of it to be automated

[dusty thunder]

Dynmap only just barely managed to finally update to 1.21.5 yesterday, iirc. But it's already too late, because now they have to update again to 1.21.6.

[fleet marlin]

What more do you want from me?

I have 4 worlds

All together they're 1.3GB

[dusty thunder]

Stupid Cloud storage.

[summer scaffold]

i hope Bedrock runs better on Switch 2 than it did on normal Switch

[flat geode]

from what I've heard, it does, even without a native version

[summer scaffold]

flames

[rich cove]

I have yet to try the game since getting the Switch 2, but maybe I'll notice the change when I do

[elfin heart]

yeah, I feel like we're just getting that major yearly update now split into 4 chunks for them to hype up

it means they can focus on individual features & player feedback more, which is good, but it hasn't stopped the part where they need to add something that looks good on a poster even when the game might need an 8 month technical overhaul

[novel mica]

how many of you guys know about the block transmutation bug from beta 1.7.2-beta 1.9

[elfin heart]

ooh do tell

do you know about the Mathew Bolan swamp diamonds trick that works from idk-1.17

[novel mica]

it basically worked by exploiting how block data values and applying data values of wool to other blocks leading to cursed blocks like 6 sided pistons and slabs that crash the game when you look at them in your inventory

[elfin heart]

was that like, the block IDs or some other form of data value

[novel mica]

block ids

[elfin heart]

awesome. No I hadn't heard

[novel mica]

also these two blocks while visually identical are not the same type of block

[elfin heart]

but definitely seen the classic 6-sided piston head block, that takes me back to playing on 2013 servers

[novel mica]

one is 43:16 and the other is 43:15

[elfin heart]

ah yeah I remember now

there were dumb sub-IDs and the slab ones made no sense

is it easy to pull off the glitch?

[novel mica]

i was going to show the six sided piston but i dont think i can because you cant place torches on pistons in old versions

[flat geode]

We have a release candidate!

so prob will release on the 17th

[flat geode]

I was correct

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPWdMDZWM4Y

I feel like it was delayed a little for some reason

[grave ravine]

seeing a ghast in the overworld is still cursed to me

[glad gale]

I'll probably still dive for cover when that happens for a while lol

[dusty thunder]

Just Bedrock, or both platforms? Because I thought VV wasn't ready for Java yet?

[flat geode]

It is not, but Chase the Skies is. VV is just for bedrock for now

Chase the Skies for both, VV just for Bedrock

[dusty thunder]

That's what I thought. They really should communicate that better.

anyone got a spare minecraft account that they don't mind parting with?

[whole python]

Wouldn't recommend it, Minecraft TOS prohibits the buying and selling of accounts:

"Buying and selling Minecraft accounts goes against our Terms of Service and we are unable to provide support for licenses that were purchased from resellers or third-party sites."

[timid dust]

😔

[whole python]

Last I knew, game is still only about 30 bucks though.

[timid dust]

the thing is, i’m still a teenager like 14 years old and don’t really have a way to buy stuff online. i don’t have a job or a credit card or anything like that, so games like Minecraft, which cost around basically $30 for the Standard Edition, are just not something i can get right now.

sorry for the yap

[whole python]

Do you have an allowance you can save up?
Could also make hints about birthday and holidays.

[novel mica]

finished

once i cover all the stone with grass it will look nicer

[harsh blaze]

if you have a birthday or Christmas coming up, ask your parents for the game

If you’ve got $30 from birthdays or Christmases or other random holidays, just give your parents the cash and then have them buy it for you, I used to do that a lot when I was younger lmao

[harsh blaze]

put a hunk of meteor in there too

[timid dust]

they also don't use/have credit cards they're all cash only and they're definitely not spending $30 on a game for me, 3rd worlder stuffs lol 🙃

[elfin heart]

I know a lot of people in countries where it's hard to afford the game play on cracked launchers for free, but that's not a legitimate & safe copy of the game so it can't be recommended. It also doesn't allow you to join non-cracked multiplayer servers

[timid dust]

yeah i wanna join on a friends server but cracked can't

[harsh blaze]

Have them enable cracked accounts in the server settings

[flat geode]

That's a setting?

[timid dust]

I'll try asking them

[harsh blaze]

Yes

Even the mojang official server jar allows it iirc

[timid dust]

damn they said they don't have that setting

does slime block damage boosting still work?

you can bounce from left to right by jumping off at the last possible tick and taking fall damage on the red block while still touching the slime

to ensure you get the right timing you can also put a block right above your head on the left pillar

I don't know, it does work in 1.21.4 because a parkour mapmaker was explaining it's mechanics to me, but that server was on 1.21.4 and hasn't updated yet. It might? Could just do a quick check on the bug fixes on 1.21.5

[elfin heart]

ahh cool, yeah 1.21+ was the main version I wanted to know about

[timid dust]

bought a mc redeem code today and a home cape it says its redeemed but it doesn't show up here

[flat geode]

I wouldn't trust buying capes, it's against the EULA and there are many scams with them

But if you did get a redeemed email you might need to wait a bit for it to appear

[timid dust]

Minecraft.net said i already redeemed it and i saw a reddit post that you have to install bedrock and equip it there to make it show up on java

[elfin heart]

I've found that certain capes only appeared on the launcher after logging onto Bedrock Edition

[timid dust]

bruh I don't want to install bedrock 😭

and my laptop can't even install the latest Minecraft launcher for some reason

[flat geode]

Bedrock is quite lightweight and runs well

[dusty thunder]

Thinking of starting a singleplayer forever world

[timid oyster]

do it

[dusty thunder]

Also thinking of making it a large biomes world. Those are brutal to traverse because the biomes really are massive, but Lordy are they gorgeous and amazing to behold.

[elfin heart]

I really don't know how people stick with a vanilla forever world

Presumably by experiencing less of the game than I have before they start it 😅

[dusty thunder]

Ooooooh, I just found a large biomes seed where you spawn right next to an ENORMOUS range of mountains, and underneath those mountains is an equally ENORMOUS Deep Dark biome.

I think I found my world. I can work with this. The deserts are a little sparse, but I'll make it work.

[elfin heart]

have fun!

[dusty thunder]

Now for a name.

[elfin heart]

"In the City of the Mountain King"

I usually just choose a silly name if there's no obvious classifier like a specific goal or world type

[dusty thunder]

Nah, I want a specific world name. I've had other worlds in the past that were named something like "Archanis", "Silvermoon", and "Sycamoore" (all of these were previous attempts I made at a forever world but something about each one of them just didn't stick in the end, and it was also at a time when I was about to go on a long hiatus from Minecraft too).

I want something that sticks out, feels a little fantasy, and yet isn't generic.

[summer scaffold]

Khaz Modan

that's the name of the dwarf city Yogscast Simon's Honeydew is from

[timid oyster]

i like the relative simplicity

i've been playing minecraft for more than half my lifetime but it was always a way for me to escape to a cute little chill world

i did some modding but it took the escape aspect out of it for me

the action of looking for mods and installing them, as easy as it is, felt like burden for me

i just want to launch minecraft right away without thinking too much about it

i want to think in the game, not before playing it

i never look for cool seeds, i never create several worlds to have a spawn area i like

i just launch, create a world and play

[elfin heart]

I think my issue is that I don't naturally get simplicity when I play

if I don't stop myself, I end up with a cube of planks for a base with a sugarcane farm and maybe some librarians

rushing to get to the end, to get shulkers and elytra, to get fully enchanted netherite gear

I have maybe a vague idea of what I want to build once I finally have completed the entire progression system

but stop because I no longer feel motivated to work on it

the ways to branch out and try something new are generally quite complex things like farms I haven't made before or megabuilds

[dusty thunder]

Nah, I don't want something from someone else. I want something that feels more...me.

Currently trying to get some inspiration by listening to music.

[timid oyster]

building is actually what motivates me to play

good gear isn't a goal, it's a means

[elfin heart]

that's what I think as well.. until I reach the point where I have good gear

[timid oyster]

fair, i can understand

[elfin heart]

that's why my survival worlds are all on multiplayer servers. I have another reason to play (my friends), and a real reason to build (show off an idea)

[summer scaffold]

my world's are always just named shit like

keysmashes tbh

like one of my creative worlds is just called "bleorby"

[elfin heart]

I have managed to get 2 long-running survival worlds going in the past year. But they both twist vanilla progression to be much slower, in very opposing ways

One is entirely self-imposed challenge where I have the whole of minecraft at my fingertips but I invented a progression-via-building mindset with no sprinting and using moody brightness

The other is just starting with the barest minimum resources I could think of so that the game mechanics force me to move at a masochistically sluggish pace. That entails:

• 1.21.1 superflat world with dirt (not grass) up to y=60. Slimes do not spawn on the surface, and Phantoms only spawn if you are 3 blocks higher than the surface
• No structures
• One block of lava next to the starting spawn point
• The biome is set to taiga, so snow will fall around y=150 and above
• You must live off mob drops and build structures out of essentially just air and dirt for several hundred ingame days

[timid oyster]

that's kinda cool tbh

[dusty thunder]

The Wyldvale.

That's what I shall call it.

[little rampart]

That's
That's wyld

[dusty thunder]

Aaaaand I just checked it out, and it turns out that the mountain range I saw on the seed finder was...less than I was expecting.

It was actually kinda flat.

Oh well, the search continues.

[novel mica]

beta 1.7 mountains are the best look at this beast i found

[dusty thunder]

Ah, found a good one. Loooots of forests and a ton of real mountains, and the Deep Dark biome underneath it all is even bigger than the last one and there are some super huge caves to boot.

[little rampart]

What's the catch? Does Nicholas Cage live there or something?

[dusty thunder]

Ice biomes and mega taigas to the south, desert/mesa biomes to the north, jungle and forest and mountain biomes in the middle (including the Pale Garden), some huge mushroom islands to the southwest, ocean to the west, and some cherry groves to the east. The only one that's really missing is swamps, for those I'll have to go waaaaaaay out to the west or east (like 30K either way).

[timid oyster]

Nicholas Cage, good or bad?

[dusty thunder]

Oh, also forgot, I'm gonna be playing this world on hard and with natural health regen turned off.

Yes, I like to push myself and my sanity to my limits in this game.

[elfin heart]

I do recommend trying Moody brightness if you usually play on the highest setting. It gives the game a nice atmosphere

[dusty thunder]

I usually do anyway

[timid oyster]

I do only when I have dynamic lighting

[dusty thunder]

Which, again, I usually do. :P

Lambdynamiclights, my beloved

[flat geode]

Interesting thing I found is that Happy Ghast heals faster above the clouds or in the rain/snowfall

[dusty thunder]

That's a pretty cool detail

Makes sense too, given that snowballs heal them.

It's here

Ah, they were the start of VV stuffs, neat

Oh thank goodness

[grave ravine]

imagine Herobrine with RTX on

[dusty thunder]

I'm so glad they brought back the "Removed Herobrine" joke. It was taken out for a while and everyone was all sad about it.

It's one of the game's longest running gags.

And it never gets old.

[grave ravine]

the joke is older than millions of Minecraft players 😛

[slate parrot]

They removed the Herobrine joke for a while? I didn't know that, glad it's back anyways

[summer scaffold]

yeah that means he was eluding capture

[flat geode]

Those days weren't safe

[summer scaffold]

i should try that From The Fog mod/datapack thingy

[sleek bane]

What's herobrine again

I always forget

[slate parrot]

Well I'm glad the caught him

[summer scaffold]

Minecraft urban legend

strongly recommend the MC Wiki page on him, it's very thorough https://minecraft.wiki/w/Herobrine

[elfin heart]

I can strongly recommend the MC Wiki page for any Minecraft topic you ever find yourself handling

on my browser the page for Mob Spawning must've been opened and closed more than 40 times this month so far. The wiki has a lot of depth when you need it

[flat geode]

Mhm, the only thing I think I came across that wasn't there was Experimental Settings in datapacks which I helped to gather a list and mark out

[grave ravine]

I contributed a lot to Minecraft wiki in 2011-2013

I was basically one of the top editors there 😛

[elfin heart]

and that's why it's so good - every time an expert player finds that they've studied beyond what the wiki can inform about, they are able to contribute

[flat geode]

It was more of telling the people who knew more than me lol. I've only made minor edits on the Java Realms Creator Program I think

Tho, I think I'm the reason for that page existing in the first place, so I'll take that...

[summer scaffold]

yeah the wiki is amazing

[slate parrot]

I'm playing the new update on my Xbox with vibrant visuals cranked up to the max, and it looks really good. Also the fan in my Xbox is really loud

[dusty thunder]

Welp...time to update all my mods again.

[little rampart]

Hopefully we can update the server soon

[harsh blaze]

[elfin heart]

FabricAPI, Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, Iris are all up to 1.21.6 already

everything else is set dressing 🤌

[harsh blaze]

my glorious Astrocraft will take eons to update

[flat geode]

Should be better than most recent updates, nothing too major technically I don't think

The only thing I know about are rendering changes

[dusty thunder]

Nah, still missing a few imporant ones for me.

Especially Mine Little Pony.

Give it about a week, I'd say. That should get most of the major ones out of the way.

[fleet marlin]

Woag

[summer path]

yo that looks good

[little rampart]

i want to build a huge ziggurat in my mesa

[summer path]

ooh what sort of design? A ziggurat does seem fitting for MC

[summer scaffold]

hmm

trying to figure out how to install mods is always so confusing to me lol

[summer path]

do you use a launcher atm, or are you doing it manually?

[summer scaffold]

i use Prism launcher

[summer path]

ah yeah, shouldn't be too bad then, would you like me to help? if the mod list isn't too big, I should be able to assist

[summer scaffold]

i think i got it working, it just took a long time to load

it's the Re-console mod pack, it reproduces the feeling of Legacy Console versions of Minecraft for Java

[summer path]

ah yeah, mods take a while to load up

[summer scaffold]

i like Bedrock but i'm always a little sad they got rid of the Legacy Console versions

they definitely ran better

but no infinite worlds was kind of lame

[summer path]

what do you mean, no infinite worlds?

is bedrock limited in some sense ?

[summer scaffold]

oh i meant Legacy

bedrock has infinite, legacy had like

[fleet marlin]

My whole world looks like screen savers

[summer scaffold]

i think 500x500 world size ?

[summer path]

ah darn, fair enough.
Also that's good Melody

[fleet marlin]

God the super novas in the end are so cool-

[dusty thunder]

I really hope this comes to Java soon

[summer scaffold]

7-ELEVEN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

in the End no less

best place to build a 7-Eleven besides Nether roof

[fleet marlin]

Well

Bedrock

[summer scaffold]

does Bedrock not have Nether roof ?

[dusty thunder]

You can't build on the Nether roof in Bedrock.

[summer scaffold]

huh

strange
