Minecraft/Discussion What is the most Difficult part of Survival?

Don't quite agree, there's always something around. Grass to nab seeds and plant for wheat, kelp in the oceans which you can cook as food, animals... even in deserts you'll soon come across tundras or savannas (or other biomes) where you'll be able to find grass again.

And of course... stick + string = fishing rod. Stick should be easy and string is a matter of finding a spider (or cobweb under ground).

There comes a time when people need to stop and rely on "other stuff" to keep them safe.

Meanwhile people are constantly logged into "social" media networks while browsing without realizing that this too tracks their every move.

Internet security isn't a thing you turn on or off, it's an ever ongoing process.

Discussions/General Why are you not in 1.14.4

I run a 1.14 server myself and I'm also playing on a few 1.14 servers. I don't get the sucks part.

It may suck if you try to run 1.14 as if it were 1.12 or maybe 1.8, sure, that gets you into trouble. But adjust your settings and get the right mods (the time when you could reduce lag by simply removing all entities are long behind us)...

Minecraft/Discussion Are huge builds still impressive?
ShelLuser

The difference is that a maze gets visitors something to do, big builds are usually only there for eye candy. You look at it, and that's it.

I'm not saying it's no longer impressive to pull off a huge build, but I am saying that because everyone is doing it...

Take EMC... Most players have shops, and most players who want to go bigger have malls. Some of those look very impressive (HSP ("Horse Shoe Plaza") on SMP2 for example) but because there are plenty of malls the size is no longer as impressive as it used to be. It's still impressive but in the end it's a build like so many others.

Hop onto a server and you get an impressive spawn.. hop onto another and there's yet another spawn. But looks alone aren't enough anymore IMO.

Fancy seeing you around here ;)

But that's just the thing though: hard work? But everyone puts in hard work to make a build. And then there's also another issue: design. A lot of builds follow specific designs which basically means repeating a pattern over and over and over and over again. The effort is still impressive, but everyone is doing it anyway.

IMO a maze is more impressive than a huge mansion, because a mansion is often a "design" just to look nice. You simply follow patterns and designs and you're done. Yet that doesn't apply to a maze: you need to actually make that 'work' or otherwise people are going to run right through.

Minecraft/Discussion What Positive Effect Is Your Favorite Effect?

As a player or admin? ;)

Definitely night vision for me, I use it all the time when I'm working on my server. f3 - n to switch from creative to pectator (best key combo ever!) but if you then go below ground things get dark really quick. So... /effect give @p minecraft:night_vision 300 and I'm good to go :)

A bit of everything, in my opinion you can't really do or have one without the other. Before you can 'redstone' you need to mine, same with building. And before you can build something good you probably need to build small (storage) and mine so that you have mats to use.

So for me this would be "all of the above" :)

I am following the snapshots but so far I think it has been very lackluster; there's hardly anything new to enjoy other than dozens and dozens of bugfixes. Making me sometimes wonder how the heck they managed to get so many bugs into the game ;)

If there's one thing I learned over all these years in gaming: almost everyone who got banned claims that it wasn't legit. And if some mods then shed some more info on the whole thing it usually turns into a completely different story. Such a surprise ;)

PMC/Discussion Reasons Why You Play Minecraft
ShelLuser
• 10/30/2019 7:21 am
He/Him • Level 61 : High Grandmaster Senpai

I play it because PMC forces me to! 😮 That evil community always has some interesting map or game online and then I just can't resist firing it up again to have a look see ;)

Ok, ok... more serious.. The most obvious reason for me is because it's a sandbox: you can do whatever you want and because you can easily install and set up your own server it's easy to share this fun with some others as well.

In my default setup OptiFine is the only plugin I use, the rest is pure vanilla. It's hard to ignore, once you mined using dynamic lighting you never want to go back!

Help/JavaEdition Redstone activates itself

A redstone dust which remains lit really sounds like a problem with chunks unloading. At least as the initial cause, because that can indeed happen in those situations. Worst part is that if the chunks get reloaded then the state of the wire won't reset so it remains powered and that can cause problems.

You could apply fire protection to the player for a short moment; that effect will prevent them from taking damage.

Uninstalling is pretty useless because it won't reset your settings, which is exactly a possible cause for issues. Do you use any mods by some chance?

Quickest way to check if your settings are involved is to open a file browser and head over to %appdata%, in there you should find a folder called .minecraft, rename this into something else... minecraft.bck for example. Now try firing up Minecrafft again (warning: you'll need to authenticate again).

There are definitely bugs in Minecraft, just check list of updates on the current snapshots, but I sincerely doubt that any could have caused this. Because if it did there should have been issues all over the place.

Note that you don't necessarily need redstone to trigger command blocks. For example: how big is your map and what is the maximum amount of chunks you're loading? Depending on the size of the map it is possible that parts get unloaded over time, and if those parts contain command blocks then this will definitely have its consequences.

Help/JavaEdition I lost Minecraft. Please help

On Windows go to %appdata%, there you'll find a folder called .minecraft. Rename it to something else and then try again, you will need to log on again so keep your account details ready.

That'll fix it.
