Gee, I wonder what's the average time on how long it would take for an Important bug to be fixed. I got this bug marked as Important in 1.20.4 when I realized that it broke a Villager Names feature in a way that can't really be worked around efficiently, even with the new stuff available in 1.20.5, and somehow it survived the full 1.20.5 snapshot cycle without even being noticed.

Anywho, if you're wondering why the workaround still exists in Villager Names 1.20.5, this is why. I'll leave a note in the pack's Update Log by then as well.

My guess would be several years… [that's using my definition of important bug which ignores all the "Misspelled name in credits" & "Fixed bad pixel in X model" padding…]

Time for a discussion: I think the Datapacks section in PlanetMinecraft field should be split into 2 categories: Datapacks and Modded Datapacks.
- Modded Datapacks are datapacks designed to work for a particular mod or a modpack.
  (requires the mod/modpack's link in the download as well, kinda like required resource packs)
- Datapacks are for packs designed for Vanilla Minecraft.
I think that when datapacks are mentioned people mostly mean vanilla datapacks anyway, so that's why I think the term "Datapacks" should be for packs designed in Vanilla.
Anyways, let me know what you think!

I don't really think another category would do in this case.

Categories are often used to split up the different branches of the same big tree.
But modded datapacks and vanilla datapacks are their own separate trees altogether - even though they are both trees (tree in this case being a datapack), they work on different environments which most of the time isn't compatible with eachother (a modded datapack might modify something vanilla itself doesn't have, for example), and hence can't be considered branches of the same tree.

From an user experience point of view: If you're someone who has no idea about the technical things that can be done by vanilla datapacks, you'd assume modded datapacks and vanilla datapacks as one and the same (since they're both categorized as "datapacks" at first based on the site's current design), only to then install a modded datapack in vanilla and be confused about why it doesn't work, or vice versa.

Silabear said 2024-04-04 05:35:41

Splitting it into two categories would be a bit much, instead we could theoretically add a checkbox for something like “Requires a mod” and they could filter out those that do.

ScotsMiser said 2024-04-04 00:38:18

I'm none too clear on the lines between texture packs / data packs / resource packs / mods so some clarification wight be a good place to start…

Assuming I correctly understand what you mean, having at least a filter setting for those that require additional software (Optifine seems to be a commonly sited example) would make sense.
Whether an entirely seperate subfora is needed is more debatable as there may be those who prefer having only one place through which to search.
[Which again brings up the issue of overlap between various sorts of game modifying 'things'.]

Bye the bye, this probably shoud be filled as a suggestion ticket if you find any reasonable level of support…

I hate planned obsolescence. Why intentionally make your products bad after a few years of use? Sure, you'd get more trades doing that, and more trades means more money, but it comes at a cost of screwing everyone over.

PS: I said this because my new mouse broke after a year of use, and I had an older mouse that lasted for 5 years before this. I can see why some people would hoard old stuff in boxes and just use that - I mean I would if it means I don't have to waste valuable time in buying a new mouse every year.

Why? Because it's legal, unfortunately. Anyone who uses obsolescence to constantly wring money out of someone is a selfish crook at heart.

You probably know that all my datapacks since 1.19 were made with Scripter 3.
Which was like, 2 years ago. Man I feel old.

The Prototype of Project 521 has been released on Discord!
Now I need to prepare to rework Scripter 3 to face 1.20.5's changes head on.
It's not going to be a good ride, but it'll be worth it. Talk to you soon.
PS: here's a quick video showing what 521's going to be about. Enjoy!

Also: If you haven't joined TheDiamondDiscord yet, now's a pretty good time to, as the upcoming Prototype of Project 521 will only be available for those who're in my Discord Server.
Also, if you're already in the Discord Server messing with the Prototype, feel free to drop me any suggestions you have about it there, and I'll consider them all in future updates!

Project 521 will still be available on PMC, but I'll only post it when all the features for it have properly been sorted out. Currently I'm still working on the thing - it's a pretty huge project despite its simple premise, and I can't wait to show you all here about it, but for the time being, all that chat's going in the Discord.

(You can join the Server for free by the way, here's the invite)

Alright 1 question: What is Project 521?

It's funny how 521's going to add a custom thing that requires crafting something not possible to do in the current recipes system - which resulted in me having to figure out how to design an efficient custom crafting system on top of making sure 521 still works well with it, then this week's snapshot came about.
The new changes to the recipes system meant that I'd have to consider more possible options in how I'm upgrading Scripter to 1.20.5 as everything it has to offer is clearly not being shown to us yet, but I'm sure it'll be worth it for the long run. More news soon!

I might take this chance to tell you why I don't want to make a single version that supports a wide variety of releases like I did before: The game changed how updates work that made it impossible to pull off.
Nowadays, every version has its own breaking change and in order to support that I'd have to add files specifically to counter that change when it happens, and for some cases it would easily double the filesize, making downloads effectively impossible.
(It's also pretty inefficient as there would always be files in the system the game doesn't even use that just takes up space)

Imagine if I'd made 1 version of Decapitation that supports the entire 1.20x branch.
With 1.20.2 the filesize would've been doubled because of Skin Reporting changes breaking head formats entirely (hence there needs to be a new set of heads written in the new format), and now 1.20.5 would've tripled the original filesize because of the huge change I mentioned in the last post.
And that's even before the upcoming Tropical Fish Heads update that aims to add 3072 Tropical Fish Head variants in the game! (Also: that's still in the works, I just had to do everything by myself since the original help call didn't really work how I thought it would.)

So instead I've decided to design my own version naming system, using the letter to indicate which Minecaft dot release the update is for, and put all older releases available for free on Patreon.
It's a bit more complicated to understand at first, but I always respond to help threads if you need help, and more importantly that means you guys can still download my stuff without the filesizes going overboard.

PS: If you like what I've done and you want me to do more of this stuff, support me on Patreon for more! There are also some exclusive stuff there, too!
I'm just one person doing all of this so don't expect much exclusive stuff, but I try my best!

I just read the new changes coming in 1.20.5. This is huge stuff.
Almost all of my datapacks will be broken if used in this update, and in order to fix them, I'll have to completely rewrite the majority of its code in this release, including the upcoming Project 521, which in and of itself has already taken a lot of time to pull off.

This couldn't have come in a worse time for me personally as I got a huge topic I need to tell you all about after 521's release, but I'll get into that eventually. For now, I'll need to get some version of 521 ready, then work on a plan to get all my releases to support 1.20.5.
More update details soon. See you then!

I still google stuff because it's more reliable if you want to find something really quickly.
AI can make stuff up and I don't really have the extra time to fact-check it, so yeah.

Interesting… [I expect that was not a random move, but wonder why?]

A lot of fun things in this snapshot read from what I can see.
I find it funny though that wolves, despite being smaller than players by quite a bit, now has the same health as players. It's not much of a complaint, it's just funny to know about.

I've stayed away from Facebook ever since I'd heard of it a few years ago.
Now it seems like that was a good decision - given how Facebook values teens' lifetime value at just 270$, I doubt they're doing anything much to keep their young users safe.

Yes, I have the source for this insane claim. See page 24, line 13,14 of this lawsuit paper.
PS: Somewhere in the same lawsuit paper, you'll find "Meta's scheme to exploit young users for profit". Yeah this Zuck guy isn't someone I'd trust if I need quality content.

First they removed the ability to delete names by patching MC-267259 without patching MC-128225, then they removed the ability to stop people from jumping with commands (Jump Boost 128) by limiting all amplifiers to be 127 or lower.

None of these got a proper replacement - Mojang knew that it's easy to break something people rely on to make cool stuff, yet they patched these things without caring about them like they did for booster tracks and negative durability.

MC-128225 is now Important, yes, but the latter had no obvious fixes as of right now, and changes are, Mojang doesn't even really know about it the same way they didn't notice MC-267259 (it wouldn't have been marked as Important had I not raised MC-267259 in the first place).

It's easy to break something people rely on to do cool stuff, Mojang.
At least try to consider them before patching the bugs like you used to, please?

On that note, I'm not sure the slicedlime on PMC is the actual slicedlime.
Impostors exist and we should always be skeptical of that possibility.
I just don't want to look into this properly yet - there's many things more important in my list.

Especially with the negative amplifiers, that was awesome to work with and there is no need for that to be patched. Not sure I like the guard rails Microsoft is putting up.
