    What Minecraft version is this? Solely judging from the used Java version I'm convinced that you're using the standard launcher (Minecraft provides its own Java runtime) but unfortunately you left out the past which could actually tell us something ;)

    Welcome to Planet Minecraft! Hmm, can't go wrong with games like Skyrim and Civilization I think, those are also some of my favorites.

    Schematics: you'll either need a program like MCEdit (but it's getting pretty outdated, I wouldn't try it with 1.13) or the Schematica mod. Warning though: you're going to need Forge (which is a so called mod loader) in order to use mods such as Schematica. This article on the Minecraft wiki should help you to get started on Forge.

    Hope this can help you out so far.

    Minecraft/Servers I'm seeking help for server stuff... PLS READ!

    First: Why would you "simply" add someone as an admin on your server if you both don't even know that you're compatible? The helper might not like the server and another possible issue: a good dev. doesn't automatically make a good admin all the time. Just sharing my 2 cents of course, but it seems a bit risky.

    Anyway, I'm not sure I understand the problem: are you programming a mod which needs extra configuration routines are are you setting one up? I assume the latter but when re-reading I suddenly figured the first again ;)

    The process is actually quite simple, but it depends on the plugin. Normally you'd place plugins (the jarfiles) into the plugins folder, found at your server root. After you booted the server then, once again: depending on the plugin, it will create a subfolder for both its datafiles and config files. And that's where you need to set things up.

    For example, one of my favorite plugins (CoreProtect) will simply create the CoreProtect folder in which you'll find config.yml. All you need to do is edit the values to your liking while making sure you're "yml compliant" (yml is a formatting standard).

    The same basically applies to most others. The depth of configuration heavily depends on the plugin. I usually go over the whole lot using Midnight Commander & vi (file manager and text editor), make appropriate changes and I'm done.

    Hope this can help

    PMC/Discussion Favorite Thing To Do in Minecraft

    Nice poll!

    My all time favorite, the one thing I never grew bored with so far, is (cave) exploration. I just love starting off near a dark gloomy ravine (for example) and then a few hours later you managed to make staircases, dig out most of the loot (coal, iron, maybe some redstone & diamonds?) and most importantly: managed to light up the place to prevent mob spawning.

    I usually try to make 'before' and 'after' screenshots which can be really fun to look at later.

    Communities/Redstone Command not working in 1.13

    • Level 61 : High Grandmaster System
    I strongly suggest that you read up on the differences in 1.13 because this is only the tip of the iceberg. The Minecraft wiki might be a good read, their page on 1.13 lists all the changes and also demonstrates some of the new commands in comparison with the older ones.

    I don't think you'd even have to kill them because eventually they'll suffocate. Alas:
    • /execute at @e[type=minecraft:skeleton] run fill ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 ~2 ~2 ~2 minecraft:stone replace minecraft:air
    That should do the trick. You won't need to change the kill command, the syntax pretty much remained the same. I recommend going from low coordinates to high when filling. It will work either way, but it's a good habit to keep because there are situations when this won't work (structure blocks for example).

    Hope this can help!

    What Spigot version and what WorldGuard version? The most obvious possible reason would be that your versions don't match. So: using a WorldGuard version on a Spigot environment which isn't supported.

    It definitely takes getting used to. My best suggestions would be to rely on command completion (that can often help to find the right parameters) and definitely do not hesitate to use the PCM forums for help. There are plenty of players besides myself who would love to help you out if you need a hand.

    Minecraft/Modding Mods: Windows 10 Edition

    As far as I know it supports add-ons, which means that it should also be possible to make those. However, it probably won't be as easy as on Java.

    Note that rumor has it that Mojang are planning on (finally) releasing a modding API for the Windows 10 edition and if that rumor is true it would mean that modding will become a lot easier in the future.

    Hi there!

    Welcome back to the site then. And don't worry: there are more players here who joined early and became more active at a later time. My profile for example would tell you that I've been on PMC for 2 years, which is technically true, but between you and me I've only become more active since late 2017 :-)

    Anyway, I hope you're going to enjoy yourself here.

    Uhm, I'm a little confused.

    Your first command is obviously meant for 1.13, this can be seen by the formatting (nbt tag right after the item) and also the item name itself (there's no such thing as a creeper_spawn_egg in 1.12). However, I don't think the formatting is entirely correct for 1.13 either. CustomName would require strict JSON and those empty compounds at the end look a bit suspicious to me (serve no direct purpose).

    So that one may need some work.

    (edit)

    I don't really play 1.12 anymore but still read the second command a bit closer and right now I'm a little surprised because you made another 1.13 typed mistake there: 1.12 uses ench:[{}] (not Enchantment:[], that's for 1.13) and number id's instead of full names. It wouldn't understand "minecraft:sharpness" because it would expect: ench:[{id:16,lvl:5}].

    You said you made these yourself yet you obviously mix up some stuff between versions. Making me wonder why you don't simply share stuff for 1.13 only? Being a huge scripting & datapack fan myself I can say that it is well worth it.

    Help/JavaEdition Different behavior across server and local? (1.13.1)
    ShelLuser
    • 09/09/2018 3:18 pm
    • Level 61 : High Grandmaster System
    This is just a hunch on my part but I think you're experiencing a combination of issues. First you have a modded 1.12 world which you upgraded to 1.13 in vanilla. That's bound to cause some damage. Then I'm also not too sure about your manual rearrangement. Why would you do that? Both Spigot as well as vanilla basically use the same hierarchy in the DIM folders, so I don't really see the need to change anything in there.

    The good news though is that theoretically you now should have no problem doing this the other way around. So copy your single player world back onto the server and see what happens next, I wouldn't be surprised if it started working again. Be careful though: always make backups just to be safe.

    Reminds me, you could check for a few gamerules to be sure. Just use the command as I shared, then it should show you the current value:
    • /gamerule doMobLoot

    • /gamerule doTileDrops
    • /gamerule doEntityDrops
    Only the first is important for mobs to drop items, but in a normal situation all these rules should be set to true.

    Hope this can help

    Changing your avatar

    Yeah, it can be a little tricky to find that at first. Click on the menu in the upper right corner and then select the option "Account settings", let me show you:

    Account settings

    Once you're in that screen you'll see a menu on your left side of the screen. Click "Edit profile". Now you got 4 tabs which you can use. The opening one allows you to set your Minecraft name & PMC class. If you click on 'avatar' then you can change your PMC appearance.

    Getting help / information

    When it comes to Minecraft then I highly recommend the Minecraft wiki. It's constantly being updated by very enthusiastic people.

    But don't hesitate to bug people too, just use the right place for it. If you need help with Minecraft you can always ask on PMC's Minecraft -> Help forum. General questions are best asked in the help forum, but do pay attention to the other sections as well (redstone, console, mods, etc.).

    If you need help with PMC itself on the other hand then the quickest (and safest) way is to create a new ticket. Then you can ask the people who run this place, and you can be sure that they know what they're talking about.

    Hope this can help too :)

    I assume CrazyPig is a server of some sort? Best you can do is take it up with them directly and ask for help.

    There's not much anyone who isn't related to that server can do. Another problem for us bystanders is that we only have one side of this story (yours) without the other. That also makes it pretty much impossible to form any honest opinion on all this.

    Seems they have a forum on Enjin, I'd ask there.

    Nice find! One small detail though: you probably don't need the whole 'execute as' (depends on your setup though):
    • /data merge entity @e[type=minecraft:wolf,name=name,limit=1] {NoAI:1}
    This should also do the trick just fine (a bit less typing ;))

    Optifine might not the direct cause but simply the indicator. Did you change any specific settings? For example: some clients can run into problems when the render distance is set too high.

    Not enough information for me to cast a vote on, your story lacks some important context.

    See, you can also turn this around: some people get frustrated over one single player. So why aren't they just ignoring him/her? But the info I'm missing out on: how many people does this involve and how does that amount compare to the total amount of players on the server?

    For all I know you could be talking about 5 people who get offended over what 1 single player says, while 40 other players have no problem with them. And that would be a completely different situation than if we'd be talking about half the server getting annoyed (for example).

    As such: impossible for me to comment, it needs more context.

    • Level 61 : High Grandmaster System
    Does Forge run if you don't install mods? Because then there is a possibility that the mod you're trying to use isn't compatible with your Forge version. As Star_weaver also hinted at it can be a bit tricky (especially in the beginning).

    So be sure that the mods you're going to use match the Forge and/or Minecraft version.

    Hope this can help a bit.

    Good question!

    The Java edition is the original Minecraft as it once was developed by Notch and later Mojang. You can play alone or with others but only if they also play using the Java edition. The main advantage of this version is that it can be fully customized and you can basically do whatever you want. Either using datapacks or mods or just build stuff yourself.

    But you can also do less intrusive stuff such as changing your skin (your player appearance) which you can do right from the launcher. That's the main advantage of the Java edition: there is a lot of (free) contents available. For example, if you'd like a different skin (player appearance) then all you have to do is check out Planet Minecraft's skin section.

    The Windows 10 version aka Bedrock edition is a rewrite which is targeted at mobile platforms; it is compatible with Minecraft versions running on most gaming platforms like XBox, Nintendo and I also believe the mobile versions. Meaning: if you play the Win10 version then you can play together with someone who is playing Minecraft on a Nintendo. Unfortunately this doesn't include the Playstation because Sony didn't feel comfortable with giving non-Playstation environments access to their network.

    Another possible disadvantage is that the environment is more locked down. If you want to change your skin for example then you'll most likely need to purchase a skin pack. Modding doesn't really exist on Bedrock to my knowledge.

    As to some playing tips...

    You could always consider switching to creative mode. This gives you full access to every item in the game and it is ideal if you only want to build stuff. If you have 'cheats' enabled then simply use the command /gamemode creative. So press / and then type the rest of the command. If you don't have cheats enabled you can still cheat ;) Just pause your game, click "Open to LAN" and be sure to enable cheats. Then you can use commands during the rest of that session.

    Commands can also help you to give you a little boost. Are you getting tired of not being able to find iron but you still would like to play more? Just give yourself some iron:
    • /give @p iron_ingot or: /give @p iron_ore.

    Maybe that could help?

    Welcome!

    Yeah, that's the cool part about Minecraft in my opinion: it appeals to both young and old. Of course in my experience most elders tend to initially approach Minecraft as if its a rather simple virtual block box, but they often end up quite surprised :-)

    Just wondering: when you say PC version do you mean the Win10 (bedrock) edition or the Java edition?

    Anyway, PMC is a very nice Minecraft community which provides a bit of everything for everyone. If you're interested in maps, skins, extensions (mods / datapacks) then this is the place for you. And if you simply want a platform to share your own Minecraft experiences or projects then this can also be the perfect place for you :-)

    Hope you're going to have fun here!

    If this is on 1.13 (which I doubt) you can try the /data command to learn more about the entity. So just spawn something in by default and then use something as: /data get entity @e[distance=..5,limit=1] (check 1 entity near you within a 5 block radius).

    But if you don't have this available and you can access your world files directly then I'd try MCEdit or NBTExplorer. It should be able to help you look into the stats of those mobs.
