    Sorry, that may have come across as a bit brash. Sure people have different tastes, I just think people are overly dismissive.

    Is nobody asking for it a reason for it requiring to be something different? No one asked for the Pikachu film or Sonic the Hedgehog to be live action, and they ended up being mostly well-received. Compare those reviews-wise to the Super Mario Bros Movie and they have pretty much the same score on websites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, so if anything it doesn't make any difference whether it's animated or not. The Minecraft Movie was planned to be live action since it was first announced in 2014, if they had an idea for it then I don't see why they can't roll with it.

    Sure, I would have loved an animated film, but the fact that it's not isn't going to make me hate it.

    IMO that point is a bit of a stretch. When people learn how to be writers or film directors, they're not going to be taught using the Minecraft Movie or Despicable Me as examples. No, they're going to be using actual good films, not films aimed at kids.

    You don't get brainwashed as a child into liking only simple films forever, you mature as you age and become able to understand and appreciate better writing and what not. Do I still watch Spongebob? No, I don't, but that doesn't mean I can't still watch it and laugh at it.

    I feel like you're also making a lot of assumptions about what it's going to be like. Sure I don't exactly have high expectations of it, it may well just be the generic: people go to video game world and must beat baddy to escape. But, either way, the art style is unrelated and it feels like people are just searching for more things to be annoyed about.

    Amazing datapack changes. Movement predicates, huge. Ability to change the item model, huge. Humongous even, if I may so.

    The changes to bundles are great, but I still don't like how they look. Why are the gaps between the items so big, and why is the bar at the bottom so BIG. At least you can change that with a resource pack now though.

    Personally, when I watched it I found it funny because of how ridiculous it looked. Is that a bad thing? For me, no, not really. I'm very simple when it comes to films, if it can entertain me for 2 hours or so, then that's good enough for me. Call me naive or whatever, but I think you can just enjoy more films then, compared to some people who to me it doesn't seem like they enjoy anything without it being the best thing they've ever watched. For example, I went to see the latest Despicable Me film, because why the heck not. Was I expecting it to be "good"? No. But did I have a good time? Yes! I'm sure if I thought about anything that was happening in it for just a minute then it would all fall apart, but who really cares that much?

    In my opinion, I think it's interesting that they decided to do something different instead of copying how everyone else does stuff. Whether it looks good is subjective, and clearly a lot of people hate it, but I'm not going to take it too seriously. It's not like they accidentally made it look like this, it's the whole point, making it very clear off the bat that it shouldn't be taken seriously. Maybe people will say I'm just sucking up to Microsoft/Mojang again, or whatever, I don't know. I'm just here to have a good time. Don't mind me, but I'm going to go watch Jack Black do silly stuff and amuse myself briefly, while everyone else can sit and sulk in their chair about how bad it is.

    I'm not really aware of who you are, but you seem alright! I think you shouldn't worry to much about what others think of you, as long as you do your best to be nice to others. Life is better that way!

    I would love any where instead of the reward running at the player, it runs at whatever is involved with the advancement, such as at a block or entity. Kinda like how run_function works with the new custom enchantments.

    Ah, if you're on 1.20.1 you will have different syntax as it recently got changed. Unfortunately lower versions don't have this functionality, so it's a bit trickier.

    For this version you could try something like:
    1. Store the number of pies you have after crafting in a scoreboard. /clear @s pumpkin_pie 0 will tell you the total number without actually clearing them.
    2. Then just remove all pies in your inventory.
    3. Summon a pumpkin pie item on the player with no pickup delay, then store the scoreboard result into the count of the item.

    There are other ways to do this which might be a little cleaner, but they are more difficult and this is the simplest way I can think of. Let me know if you need any help with the commands!

    If you're willing to update to a newer version, this becomes significantly easier because for one you can use the new syntax suggested earlier, but you can actually just set the tag in the recipe output :)

    As Dan said below, pretty sure it's impossible to find it because it's just the inside of a structure. The panorama would look the same for any trial chamber you go to as long as it generates that room, no matter what the seed is.

    Try redownloading the app if it's not opening.

    Also if you figured out how to use sodium with the vanilla launcher, can't you just put world edit into the mods folder?

    I think it's possible it will be soonish, even if it won't be the next update. People were yelling at Mojang for a cave update for ages and some were miffed when we got a nether update instead, but they work on different things in the background that are different to the current update. The cave update came next. So given the amount of time the end update has been a popular thing within the community, they probably have ideas or are slowly working on it already. They plan to look at all the biomes anyway, so it's just a matter of what to prioritise over another.

    Unfortunately this isn't possible with the current custom crafting recipes in data packs, items with components have only just been supported for the output.

    The only way to do this would be to make your own custom crafting table, but that's quite a lot of effort, especially if only for one item. I would say unless you're experienced with commands or really need to do it this specific way, you're probably better off coming up with an alternative way of "crafting" a custom item.

    I get what you're saying, but in reality I don't think these are very enforcible.

    Where's the line between good quality and bad quality. What level of organisation does there need to be so it's not "unorganised". Should you be more lenient to newer/younger members who are making their first jam. What if a jam qualifies as "low quality" but is getting a lot of engagement. At what point does something become too political/progressive/sensitive.

    There's just too much grey area for it to work. I think introducing more rules would end up making more people unhappy and alienating some users. Everyone has to be tolerant and considerate of others, and, unless something is explicitly causing upset or controversy, you can just ignore it.

    But for planet minecraft jams? They're just doing their own thing, one out 70 jams currently active. Adding more restrictions would make moderation significantly more difficult as you have to come up with fairly arbitrary rules for whether something is higher quality enough, does it count as politics, is it an "agenda" or not, and so on.

    I think having more jams allows more people to take part, which can only be a good thing. I can see how you may dislike having lower effort ones, but it just means more people can participate and find something that appeals to them, rather than being unsure whether they are good enough/have enough time to join more higher-effort ones. A wider variety in my opinion can only be a good thing, increasing community participation, which is what this site is for after all.

    I don't think being progressive is a bad thing, but if you dislike this then you can just ignore it. Looking through the 70 or so jams on the calendar I could only see one that was obviously based on this subject (Pirates Pride), so personally I think that's a non-issue. It just means more people feel included and able to participate in something.

    I can understand the repetitiveness and uninspired feeling of some, and can see where you're coming from in that sense. But what you may not like might be something that others really enjoy, so I don't think it would be fair to remove anything and moderate based on an arbitrary quality.
