    Yes, shouting is really going to help get your point across.

    Thing is: if you look at your history books you'll see that climate change really isn't a modern thing. Most continents and most areas have seen major extremes over the centuries, from tropical climates to Arctic conditions.

    But those are topics which some people don't like to hear, even if you can proof this based on facts, and insist that it's the humans who are responsible.

    In the end the major problem is that most people think in absolutes and extremist measures, which obviously will result in resistance from people disagreeing. And then you'll get heated arguments which I personally refer to as "pissing contents" (I hope this expression is allowed, if not I won't repeat it) because in the end it's all about "who is right" instead of "how can we come to a mutual acceptable solution".

    And the key to that is to listen to every opinion, even if you don't agree with them, without trying to ridicule or ignore it up front. And that's a courtesy more and more people seem to lack these days, with the obvious results.

    If you want to avoid risks then don't monetize on that video. The main thing that can tick Mojang off is people trying to make money from the Minecraft brand.

    Actually... the changes are more reflected on the user interface than the actual inner workings of the game. Crafting and such is definitely way different, but in other areas the game really isn't that much different from the Java edition where functionality is concerned.

    You can see this yourself by checking up with the Windows 10 edition; that version uses the same engine. What used to be PE is now referred to as Bedrock or simply Minecraft.

    This might be a good read: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pocket_Edition

    Even so, I definitely agree that if you really want to dive into "Minecraft tweaking" (which would include scripting, things like datapacks and such) then you're better off with the Java edition.

    The problem is that you probably don't have 3Gb.

    While you can have up to 4Gb of memory in a 32bit PC the problem is that the system can't address ("use") the full load. My last PC had 4Gb as well, but could only physically use 2,7 Gb of that.

    So my guess is that your 3Gb assignment is the cause of the problem. Lower that amount to 1Gb or 1500Mb and see if that helps.

    What you need is Visual Studio code. It's a code editor not to be confused with Visual Studio (which is a full blown coding IDE) and it is amazing. It supports dozens of file formats, including JSON. Out of the box too, so you don't need any extra plugins either.

    Look:

    VS Code snippet

    All I did was fire up VS Code, created a new file ('tab'), pasted in your code snippet above and then set the file type to JSON (in the lower right corner). Then I formatted the code using shift-alt-f and voila: you can see right away where you made a typing mistake: after 'id' on the last line the rest of the sentence is brown, which means that you have an opening quote (") but not a matching closing one.

    (edit): VS Code is an open source project, the editor is available for Windows, MacOS & Linux.

    Depends on a lot of things and there's no real planned release date. My guess would be between March and April. Note that you can already play with some of the new features in the Windows 10 edition. That already contains bamboo, panda's and scaffolding.

    #2

    No, but it does depend on your needs. Random spawns will happen no matter what, so eventually you will see foxes appear and may even come across panda's. However, you won't get any new biomes (so: new areas) within your "known world". So: the area which you already explored and which got generated.

    Don't expect bamboo to suddenly appear in a jungle you recently found.

    So to get to the new stuff you'll have to travel further outwards within areas that haven't been generated yet. Then you may come across new terrain with new features.

    A fair warning though: this is most often not good for consistency. The world generation routine often gets updates which means that there will be differences in the way a world gets generated between versions. Ergo: it is possible to walk into a desert and then see that immediately turn into a polar area, including polar bears ;) Not very realistic, but ...

    So for the best results it's usually better to create a new world.

    I have the console edition (PS3 in specific) a few chances but I just can't play with it.

    Don't think I'd switch because I don't see why we should stop playing.

    Sure, the authentication servers would go down but I'm sure that we'd have plenty of "creative solutions" for that in no time. I'm also sure that no one would be bothered with using them (at this time it really is a bit immoral IMO, especially considering that Minecraft isn't that much expensive).

    Servers are already not much of a problem because anyone can set them up and run them, no issues.

    So I wouldn't switch :)

    A cart will only start moving if it's on powered rails and there's a solid block behind it.

    So you will probably need a piston to move a few things around during departure.

    PC is definitely the better version. It's not only the game itself, but also the massive amount of freedom it gives you to 'tinker' and extend the game with your own ideas and stuff. Things like datapacks for example can be really exciting.

    And that's not even mentioning stuff such as mods which can really add cool new things into the game.

    Still, if you want a controller then the Windows 10 edition is probably better suitable. However, that's basically the version you're playing now but this time running on PC ;) I personally like the Java edition the most, and that could become tricky with a controller.

    I recently started messing around with a so called "steam controller" and have managed to get some results with the Win10 edition but not so much with the Java edition.

    Still... you could always consider giving the keyboard & mouse a try ;) Minecraft is decently simple, you don't need that many controls. Basically w,s,a and d to move. And then a button to jump, sneak/crouch, drop stuff and swap items between your hands.

    You're using the Java edition? Then it should be as simple as starting the launcher, making sure you're logged on with the right account and then using the 'skins' tab. Open the menu (using the icon with the three dashes) if the menu isn't visible yet.

    Are you familiar with locked repeaters? Not sure if that can help, but... it seems so.

    Anyway: if you push a 15 strength signal into the side of a repeater then it'll lock itself (you'll see a bedrock bar appear). When that happens the repeater won't change its state. I often use that to force a signal delay (by locking it in).

    Sorry for the very late response, but... alas.

    Your entry is missing "weight". This determines how likely it is for the item to be used. See also this link:

    Sorry for a very late response, but better late than never?

    Your solution is a command block, structure block and some 'redstone magic'.

    Use a command block to detect the player. For example:

    execute if entity @e[name=AyanamiKun,distance=..5] ('AyanamiKun' is the name of my friend who helped me testing this).

    Then place a comparator after the command block and run that into the structure (load) block which should load the structure you need.

    Hope this could still help!

    Well, you do realize that strongholds are already easier to find than they were in earlier versions of the game?

    "Back in the days..." (uh oh, grandpa Shell talking! :D ) there were only 3 strongholds for the entire world. So if you had ventured out a bit (away from the world spawn) then you'd have a really hard time finding the End.

    Today there can be approx. 128 strongholds in a world. So even if you ventured out some more then this won't become a problem for finding the End.

    SO yeah, since we already have so many I really don't think we need to have things get even easier than it already is.

    According to the crash log you're still using a resource or texture pack.

    SO here's what I'd do: shut down the game, start a file manager (explorer) and browse to: %appdata%. You'll see a folder called .minecraft. Rename that into something else using F2.

    Now start the game again. Be warned: you'll need to authenticate & log on again, so be sure to have your minecraft.net username & password ready.

    Start the game, create a new world, see what happens.

    Now that is an interesting question :)

    I don't think this can be done using a command. See, although you have options to issue a command over and over again the downside to that is that the song you play will then restart if it was already playing. I just checked using the /data command and from what I can tell (disclaimer: I could be overlooking something) there is no property which tells if a player is listening to music or not.

    Ergo: right now my conclusion is that your only liable option would be to use a mod. But that's at first glance, I added this to my (now really existing) todo list and I'll look further into it this weekend.

    Can you still log on? Because if you can log on then I'd suggest changing your e-mail address, and then turning on the extra security.

    Now that I got a new Win10 PC I also had a chance to look into the bedrock edition and well... I'll stick with the Java version.

    Don't get me wrong: bedrock (Windows 10 edition) looks amazing. I have it running on a high end machine and the render speed & distance (plus all the details in the game) is really impressive. Another advantage is that it's easy to install (just select it from the Microsoft store) and you're done.

    Another important issue is that the Win10 version gets continuous updates it seems. I am playing Minecraft 1.8.1 (Win10) and even though 1.14 isn't out yet this version already has panda's, scaffolding (and bamboo obviously) and that makes for a nice playing experience.

    But also plenty of annoyances. How about checking my coordinates real quick? I can't hit f3 because this doesn't exist. What I can do is turn on a setting which displays my coordinates all the time, but I don't want that. I want to see my current coordinates, and that's it.

    The only way I could think of was: /data get entity @p pos which isn't very useful because /data doesn't seem to work on the win10 version!

    Try to drop down from a high way up and you'll always get a loud bang. Annoying.

    Speaking of going up and down: why can't I use the alt key as my sneak key? I can on Java but not in Win10. My theory? Because this game was meant to be played with a controller.

    Granted: you can use your own avatar, that's a pro, but everything else. Nah, I'll stick with the real game.
