happy hispanic/latino heritage month!! 🇬🇹🫶🏽

So, Mojang's Update Logs are written for their website version via HTML, and it was mostly following that format well, but when 1.26.3 snapshot comes about, someone probably thought it would be funny to start dropping end tags for list entries and see if anyone noticed it.

Well, my tool's been constantly pinging me about it for all logs starting from 1.26.3-s1, so I guess I have to deal with that extra case now. More updates soon!

PS: Technically HTML5 doesn't require list entries to have end tags if it's covered by the list indicators (browsers will still be able to handle those), but it does wreck tools made for older update logs where this wasn't being applied, so that's another thing I need to take care of.

Well, it's been a long time since I last logged on here. Some of my friends are starting a Minecraft server, so I came back to PMC to look for skins and thought, why not log back in to my old account and take a look at it?

Some thoughts:

• There are skins I remember seeing when they were first posted that are now labeled "7y". I feel so old...
• Some of my data packs did really well while I was gone, which surprised me because I low-key forgot I made them - the main thing I remember posting here was skins
• The site looks just about how I remember it, which is... good, I guess?

As for updates on my end, I kind of moved on from Minecraft, although over the years I've had several of those "2 week Minecraft phases" people talk about. I'm starting my senior year at college studying Computer Science - and honestly, MC was a big part of why I starting thinking in that direction, just seeing mods (and hearing the origin story of the game itself) made me realize "there's a lot of cool stuff you can do with computer programming". (Also, the stuff I learned about pixel art from making skins came in handy for game jams and stuff.)

So anyway, what did I miss? Is anyone who knew me before still around? Feel free to say hi if so!

The last time Mojang delayed a week in between snapshots, we got 1.20.5 in return.
If they're actually doing something like that again, bring it on. Scripter is ready. Let's see what they got.
(oh wait nevermind it's just summer break ... welp)

today makes 8 years of me on pmc!! here’s to many more 🥂

Update : Poll Embeds on Wall Posts!
You can now share forum polls directly to your wall! Head to any forum poll thread or create your own and click Share Poll to Wall. Your post will be pre-filled with a live poll embed showing the current results, voting status, and a link back to the full thread.

A clean way to surface interesting forum discussions without leaving the conversation behind.

psst... pro-tip: you can also paste the poll bbcode into other useful locations like your content descriptions or profile custom widgets.

Finally, the icons from my website has been properly updated across the board.
Google has a lot of resources but they sure take a while to update these things.
(Takes 3 weeks for my case, and I've been bugging them a lot about it too)

EDIT: Okay, not everywhere everywhere, but still, most of it is now updated.

Lodestone Compasses are pretty interesting. If the Lodestone is broken, and a loaded entity was carrying one linked to said Lodestone when it is broken, the Compass will break. Broken compasses stack together when placed in chests. Copper Golems can help you sort items.

Putting all that together: if you break a Lodestone thousands of blocks away from a loaded Lodestone Compass (carried by, say a Copper Golem), the then broken one can be sorted into a Chest which is a trigger that lets you snap an Ender Pearl Chamber thousands of blocks away.

Vanilla Teleportation, without any fancy HUDs.
It doesn't really work between dimensions because that's not how Lodestone Compasses work, but still.

So I recently figured out how to make a custom IP for my Betatesting Server!
If you want to try it yourself to see if it works, here's the IP:betatest.thediamondplayables.com(As I said a few posts ago, it's currently Whitelisted, let me know on Discord if you want to join)
