the Chaos Cubed drop released and nobody noticed
Good, modern Minecraft has fallen, billions must play Beta.
>>571025536You were right. Turns out my ISP has my IPv4 address behind CGNAT, and they wont assign me a public ip unless I change from residential to a business account.Im trying to avoid paying a subscription fees to use networking/tunneling services like playitDOTgg so anyone have any suggestions?
>>571049662I will NOT play BetaI will NOT downgrade to outdated versionsI will NOT use the Programmer Art texture packI will NOT remove Lena Raine's music tracksI will NOT limit my block palette to just cobblestone, glass and oakI will NOT miss old terrain generationI will NOT miss old NetherI WILL use new blocks in my buildingsI WILL collect all new music discsI WILL ride my Happy GhastI WILL torture my Sulfur CubeI WILL grow Sniffers and plant torchflowers
What do you think about this proposition? He's talking directly to Minecraft, it seems, and he's making some pretty good arguments.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i68qATBNDE4
I wish that villagers would go around and do stuff other than work, at least unemployed ones. Like hang out around bookshelves and read books. Get some hobbies, testifichuds.
>>571070938Fancy, I like it. Though the white glass feels a bit too white given the surrounding blocks
I think that the "stalker type" of mobs in so many horror mods are popular for a good reason and they could implement them in ways that would be super fun. One way I can think of is an extension of the phantom idea. After long enough of not sleeping you could notice subtle things. Maybe it starts with strange sounds, like just footsteps. As you go longer without sleeping the tier of the entity could go up, giving stronger effects and stronger tells. Maybe even up to slight griefing, but mostly atmospheric stuff and occasional attacks. After long enough of not sleeping, they get "fixated" and sleeping won't get rid of them, you have to do something else to get rid of them. They could even have different methods required to get rid of them depending on what "type" of entity they are which you have to determine based on how they're messing with you, like a phasmophobia situation.There could be ones unlinked from sleep too. I initially thought of this because of how anticlimactic pale forests are. You can just never engage with it and rarely appreciate the spooky vibes unless you live in that tiny area. What if you could get "cursed" by a stalker kind of creaking after harvesting enough of the trees or breaking the creaking hearts. You go back home and occasionally notice pale particles around, pale fog, hear something racing behind you, and eventually find creakings acting like weeping angels around you outside of the forest until you do something to deal with it.
>>571055384>I will NOT remove Lena Raine's music trackst.roon
>>571082620I like a lot of tranny music even if I disagree with their religion.
>>571055384>Happy Ghast>Sulfur Cube>SnifferTroon millennial companions, the cube's name is Frank, and he's le silly cube of sulfur, the Happy Ghast is Minecraft's baby Joda, and the Sniffer is the obligatory silly looking animal.
>>571078803You're basically describing the sanity effects of Don't Starve
>>571088279Kind of but not really.
>>571078803don't know if current mojang would add this sorta stuff my manmight be 2 scary 4 them kids, ya know
Imagine next week the autumn stuff gets added in the bedrock beta first and java players have to wait weeks bc of summer break, it’s what happened with copper golems
>>571093090What are the odds that Mojang plans ahead this time, and release the first snapshot before they go on vacation? They'd have plenty of feedback once they returned to the office that way
>>571094502They get enough feedback from the bedrock previews.
>>571091735Leave Agnes alone in a room with me and it will be in the next game drop.
>>571097281>We are excited to announce a brand new mob for our fourth game drop: the baby silverfish!
for a game with all sorts of wacky little characters it's kind of weird there are no monkeys
i discovered that I hate the way tuff looks but I don't want to replace all the fucking tuff I placed
>>571106470MILLION PITY BUT IN THE MINECRAFT
>>571110605You don't like tuff?It's one of the best blocks.
there should be ender pie
>blast furnace can't cook nether bricks
The new Precipice track is overhated. It doesn't sound that generic, i expected something duller like the 1.17 cave tunes. Like it more than Creator.
>he actually listens to the nu-soundtrack
get the fuck out, get the fuck out!!
>>571128814Yes, i need to know something to hate it with the right intensity, otherwise you just become /co/
>>571128513It is. The only people who claim otherwise are just saying that because they have a vested interest you know who and why in dickriding lena raines
>>571128814The only good nu-soundtrack addition is Broken Clocks and that's about it.
>>571106470since the devs have a soft spot for animal cruelty I blame the schizos with a fixation for monkey torture
>>571127496still no intended tool to break glass eitherjingle jingle jingle look at the mob variant jingle jingle you love those jingle jingle and a new wood recolor jingle jingle jingle
>>571129192No. I will not.
>>571131697I blame the devs for being huge faggots, honestly. To me that makes more sense.
>>571129220Fair enough, I guess.>>571130653>Broken ClocksMore like Broken COCKS, since that's what the nu-composers have lmao.
>>571137206>devs being huge faggotsça va sans dire
>>571130653All of the music from the Chase the Skies drop was pretty good. Broken Clocks, O's Piano, Below and Above, etcAnd the Nether update music was good. But yeah otherwise theres not much of worth

>>571143217Yeah, can't have pie without cream
>>571146078>>sulfur cubes make for interesting contraption componentsand yet nobody has made anything with them. even minigames i hear nothing about them. they're genuinely a failure of a mechanicmojang would know servers are able to do far more than that without the sulfur cube, but they don't check those out, that's why gambling servers are running rampant. they simply do not care to check on what/how people are playing the game.>in a free update for a game i bought for $20 in 2010>icing on the cake: mojang quietly adds vulkan supportminecraft is like pokemon. they just need to do the bare minimum for the games. then they can continue selling merch, media and spin off games using it as a base. that's why the "mainline" games and updates are always lackluster. they exist to sell the rest
>>571147439>and yet nobody has made anything with them. even minigames i hear nothing about them.I trust you have surveyed a sizeable portion of the playerbase?i don't know what others are doing, and I'm still a few drops behind because I've been lazing off on keeping my data packs up to date, but I fully intend to build a golf course or a sportsball field once I get my hand on the cum cubes. In my view as a builder this is definitely one of the better drops as of late, at least it beats TT (which adds literally nothing new whatsoever besides the ability to halt animal aging) and MoM (new mobs are cool for ambience I guess but I see no reason to carry a new gimmick weapon over a trusty all-purpose sword or bother with nautili when I have conduits and Aqua Affinity)
>>571146078As soon as people stop bitching, Mojang will stop trying. They're not updating the game out of the goodness of their hearts, but because the development is a loss leader for the recurrent-revenue stream that is the Bedrock marketplace. Once people stop playing the game, there will be no more money coming in, and the game will stop being updated. To avoid that, a steady stream of new content is required, and that content has to be good enough to actually keep the players' interest - just like with any live-service game. If you enjoy playing Minecraft, then it's in your best interest to help Mojang do their best work, and you do that by [constructively] criticizing what they do
They should add deers that drop venisons in the new autumn forest so we can make cool deer trophies out of them. I know they won't have the balls for it but if they do the update would unironically be peak.
>>571142993>>571147014I just want ender pie. You can make pumpkin pies without using dairy in this game, so the end equivalent would probably won't change much.
>>571150092They should add more trophies in general. Currently there's the sherds, armor trims, dragon egg, and mob heads. But that's not a lot, and there really aren't many other items you can use for decorations
https://youtu.be/ouOsB5H4lAs?is=gPeNBE63wvuu1XigVibrant Visuals if Mojang was less gay
dude
>>571165909I hate the graininess in the shadows, and the way the lighting makes some blocks look like plastic. You also get that amateur "HD remake" feel from some of the textures, where the visual detail of some elements (the lighting and shadows) don't match the detail of others (textures and geometry). Still, the tech is cool. I'd love to see colored light being added to vanilla
>>571165994Powered rails can't bend. You need to switch the positions of the regular and powered rails to make it work
>>571165994I feel your feeling deeply.
>>571148613>new mobs are cool for ambience I guess but I see no reason to carry a new gimmick weapon over a trusty all-purpose sword or bother with nautili when I have conduits and Aqua Affinityfair points. nautili need equine stats like donkey and horses. it's frustrating that they don't. spear is also a gimmick weapon, sure, but the gimmick being lunge and the options it provides for movement have been positive, and using the spear on a well-bred high stat horse is underappreciated.i think a lot of people forget that at best only 1 in 10 players actually beat the ender dragon in their worlds, with even less 1cycling him, and obtain elytra after. hell, my longest running world that i started 3 years ago is on day 8000 (a lot of that has been afk) and i haven't entered the end once because i've been too busy building a custom village and i haven't really needed elytra. i plan on doing it at some point this month, but tbph im doing it for shulkers, not elytra. most of my transportation has been on a horse leading chest donkeys through nether roof portals. i had most of the saddles prior to 1.12.6 when they became craftable, but making them craftable has enabled a lot of this playstyle that otherwise would have been a chore.i bring up all of the above to just emphasize that there's plenty of people that play the game sub-optimally (that aren't babies/toddlers) that appreciate mojang's dedication to providing options for people that don't rush rocket farms and elytra. nautili in their current state feel incomplete, but i appreciate that they exist.sidenote: i feel like im the only anon here that actually liked TT, but i also like builds with mobs in them so im biased in that regard
>page 10
>>571148613>I see no reason to carry a new gimmick weapon over a trusty all-purpose swordThat's just because you currently have to choose one or the other. If Mojang added a toolbelt or something similar, so you could bring all your tools in a single inventory slot, you'd suddenly have a lot of hotbar space over for other things. A spear can be really useful - but it's also a very situational weapon, so you won't bring it unless you either know you'll end up needing it, or you have the room to spare
>>571052548far-fetched but have everyone install tailscale and connect through there

>>571212470>the one that SAVES the gameMinecraft needs saving?
Am i retarded or are crafters really this convoluted? I can't figure out how to safeguard against being out of one ingredient other than maybe draining it if it takes too long. I wish there were a way to have it prefer to stack like items.
>>571213076Comparator output from the ingredient chests. If one of them starts to run out, disable all hoppers
>>571212470>Still can't right click stairs to sit on them I do not understand why mojang hasn't done this.
>>571213603Doing that on the dispensers helped but I also had to add that signal as a negative to the comparator because the way I did it would otherwise leave it on the one it last failed at. Also had to make that signal open a hopper under the crafter to flush out any ingredients so it would start in the right order again.
>>571217648but now if it gets one pumpkin, it starts the process, but then it gets canceled on the second ingredient because it used the last pumpkin...
is /mmcg/ fucking dead??? does no one fucking play moded anymore?
>>571218209what are you trying to automatically craft? pumpkin pies?
>>571217648put an AND gate on all the droppers, so they only fire if all the ingredients are there
I like the new spawn egg textures, it makes them look more distinct from one another.
>>571228902I think it was the right direction to make them more distinct, but idk if I like exactly the route Mojang took. I kinda miss the 'easter/decorate egg' vibe of the previous look
>>571228902>>571229119it was fun trying to guess the odd ones, but oh well
>>571226693>>571226879I will behead the mojang
It works now. Maybe not the most efficient thing ever, but I did it. Now I just need to produce pumpkins faster.
>>571228902>>571229119>>571231005I agree that they don't fit my style or preferences but it was completely necessary move with the super big amount of junk mobs they add to the game finding out the right egg you want visually was going to get ridiculous. And don't see it from the perspective of Jimmy the redstoner that only cares about spawning the classic hostile mobs, villagers, allays, and very rarely vindicators and happy ghasts. Bedrock is meant for toddlers to buy their Spiderman zoos and shit in creative.
>>571219191The annoying drama with Create vs oldfags slowly killed it, but is still there. It always has been slow.
>>571219191What are you going to talk about when you're all playing different games?
mushroom islands creep me out
>>571244459and why is that?
>>571244459don't worry cow the wildlife there lives in a symbiont relationship with the fungus, the mycelium there is benign, we definitely don't have to worry about them taking over undead monsters or anything.
>>571055384Soulless...
>>571214207Because it would be a dumb gimmick that adds nothing to the gameplay.
>>571213076Yep. Crafters are pretty basic. You have to ensure that the right ingredients are supplied at right quantities yourself via redstone.
>>571257357But enough about cum cubes
>>571228902>>571229119They are utter dogshit. One of my least favorite changes in recent years.While retexturing the spawn eggs to make them more distinct was perhaps a good idea, the design choice is retarded. They should have simply make miniature icons of the mob instead (picrel is a resource pack named Spawned Eggs that does just that)
>>571217648At this point you'd be better off starting over. You can preload the crafter to "lock" a recipe, and instead of firing when the crafter is full, you fire on a clock that's matched to your input speed. That clock can then be disabled when an ingredient chest is almost empty, making sure you never completely run out of ingredients
>>571257952>It's okay when 1.7.10 modders did it.
>>571257952They can't just make them not be eggs anymore. Imagine an adventure map from 2012 having puzzle about eggs and one of the eggs is a spawn egg, it would ruin it. Mojang really cares about backwards compatibility.
>>571259148100% looks worse
>>571257357>that adds nothing to the gameplay.>Meanwhile we had an entire patch drop for baby mob model/texture updatesThey just added wool stairs and even showcased them being used as seats in a build. It's the time they could get away with adding it without it being "out of place"
>>571259148Who are you quoting?
>>571259363the problem is that stairs are used in a lot of things so you'd end up with a ton of builds where right clicking somewhere could make you sit in some awkward place unintentionally, it would be better to have some way to manually assign any block as a seat but that would probably feel out of place in Minecraft
>>571260069This. I sometimes use stairs as part of walls to save on materials, or to prevent wall blocks from connecting to them like they would to a full block. Mojang would need to make sure you won't suffocate if you randomly sit on a stair, or abuse the mechanic to clip through floors if the stairs make part of the floor/ceiling. It's not impossible to implement all this, but it would be a just waste of resources on a cosmetic gimmick (one that, unlike cutesy new mobs, won't help promote he game on social media, that is)
>>571259148100% visual improvement
>>571260748One very simple solution would be to check if there's two air blocks above the stair before you seat the player. Beds and minecarts already allow you to "teleport" short distances - like those old-school minecart ladders - so it's not like it would break the balance or whatever. I'd still prefer a simple emote wheel, with animations like sit and lay (which already exist in the game), and maybe even wave and so on for multiplayer
they should give us a new button/bind that lets you sit wherever when you press it press it while sneaking and you can crawl around (like you can do using trapdoors or water)
>>571267545>Beds and minecarts already allow you to "teleport" short distances - like those old-school minecart ladders - so it's not like it would break the balance or whatever.Bad comparison that shows precisely why it WOULD break things. People build boat/minecart elevators exactly because they are entities specifically designed to be interacted with. People build floors, roofs and stairwells out of stairs exactly because they AREN'T interactable entities but rather solid blocks that are not meant to be phased through.
>>571268140People build roofs out of beds as well, or make doors out of boats because they have a cool opening "animation". Your logic doesn't really apply here
>>571268140They could just make it so you can't sit on stairs from the bottom or back.
I can't move the hoppers or the water really but items sometimes get caught between the glass and the water and get wasted.
>>571274494There's no way of fixing that with your current setup. Droppers have a certain randomness to them in how they spit out items, and you'd need a bit of space to compensate for that. Dropping items through powder snow makes them 100% consistent, and dropping them into water from the side always makes them align to the other edge of the water stream. But, again, both of those solutions need space
>>571268140I never thought of it before but huh, having a boat or a minecart that you can only see through a tiny hole would be a neat way to put in a secret area.Some maps must have already does this right?
>>571270240*Some* people chose to do that for aesthetics. That doesn't mean it's a good idea to make *everyone's* roofs and stairs suddenly become interactable.
>>571274684Seems like I lessened it with this. Maybe if it's going up with a trajectory toward the hoppers and smacks a ceiling right away it goes further in that direction, so opening it up and keeping them a bit away from the edge with trapdoors helps. If it's REALLY biased in that direction maybe it'll get caught still but I think this way most of them get through.
>>571277172But people sit on real stairs all the time, so what's the harm? In fact, people sit on anything that's convenient, so I really don't see the problem. I'd still rather have a /sit emote, but you know
We need bundles for non stackables. Maybe restricted to certain types if they really have to. Book bag, potion bag, tool belt.
>>571278314Also a quiver for ammo that you can actually shoot with.
>>571278314Tool belt, yeah
>>571278314We just need every item to become stackable. So even items with unique metadata can go into bundles. Simple as.
>>571287148I FUCKING LOVE MOSS COBBLE
Coppa gollies are my favorite thing they've added in a while. They don't do something insanely more useful than other things in the game, but if you just need some simple item movement they are a lot cheaper than hoppers or hopper minecarts and don't need too much space. They're also just cute and can add some life to stuff.
>>571278314this with a hotkey to bring up a weapon wheel type thing for each bag type, and that solves a majority of the inventory issues, but they'll never do it because it won't work on mobile
>>571289969>bundle in right hand?>right click to pull up secondary hotbar>scroll and release right click>bring primary hand item into the bundle and bring item selected in bundle to primary handIt would be super smooth. Alternatively;>Use selected item IN the toolbelt>Switch to off hand and right click+scroll to switch the selected item>just bring it back to primary hand and use it
>>571290378nigga, they still don't have the fully implemented offhand on mobile because they can't figure that out. you really think they'll implement a huge feature like that USING the offhand?
>>571291049no but they should
>>571289969*Because it's OP and defeates the point of inventory management. Use a shulker box.
>>571295106make it an end game item harder to get than shulker boxes then
>>571295739Then you run into the elytra problem.>the game sucks now because I already know everything about the game and got the OP item in 2 hours instead of playing for 200 hours before discovering what the end is like jeb intended
>>571296447I never said it had to be found in the End, just an end game item. It could be crafted using something that's hard to find in the End, Nether, and Overworld, so you have to thoroughly explore each dimension before you can aquire it
>OP means not having to press e and move shit around as much
>half the op is just how to be a contrarian chud
>>571290378this nigger never heard of a scroll wheel
>>571136093silk touch retard. you stupid faggots just want to whine and bitch about everything without ever learning how to play the game.
>>571305435>>>/r/eddit
>playing the new update>piglins now spawn in peaceful modeScared the everloving shit out of me.
>>571307071he's talking about break speed you stupid nigger. if you didn't know, (almost) every block is assigned a specific tool that is designed to break it, ie. it breaks the block faster than other tools. glass has no such tool still
post your hotbars
So what's the next mob they're adding? Something autumn themed for 26.3?
anyone else feel like stack limits should be increased? been playing with a mod that increases them to 1k and its honestly been life changing
>>571318286Squirrel, brown bear or deer. None will do anything they'll be cosmetic mobs. Not even the deer will drop venison
>>571322012What if the squirrels plant acorns, which spawn saplings? It could be used for automated tree farms
>>571320841I'd be all for increasing them to 99, aswell as making minecarts stackable.>been playing with a mod that increases them to 1k and its honestly been life changingHow crowded is the text if you have multiple stacks next to one another in the hotbar?
>>571323579isn't too bad - here's the specific one i've been playing withhttps://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/stackcraft
>>571320841should be 999 like terraria but it would demolish existing sorting systems
>>571320841Honestly I like the way it is now I don't know why I guess 64 is iconic for me
>>571324113>This mod has no gallery items availableWhy? How hard is it to take a fucking screenshot for the mod you've made?
>>571325976honestly this mod is the least egregious example - people have been so used to not having documentation for mods that one of my modder friends told me that most people don't even bother to look at the descriptions anymore and spam their discord/github issues with questions that could be answered by looking at the modpage (he has a lot more information on it than the average content mod does)
>>571320841>>571325941The techs definitely there but I assume they're keeping it because 64 is iconic to MCThey do have to do something about the inventory system here though
>>571318286The foxlin, it wears a red cloak and jumps across the treetops. You can barter with her using food, and different foods will give you access to better/worse trades. For example, berries could net you some string or flint, but rabbit stew can net you an ingot or even a diamond!
>>571327159Thing is, if they intended to keep it at 64, they *need* to add more inventory slots. It's one or the other if they're ever going to fix it, and it seems more and more YTers (and, as such, their fans) are getting fed up with the current situation
>>571326670Stuff like that makes me never want my own "community". If you can't read basic instructions, I don't ever want to see you write
>>571311632pick, shovel, axe, building block, blank, food, torches/rockets, (x)bow, sword
