    Hey everyone! Wanted to let you all know that the early access version of PBR addon beta (1.11a) is out now for Emerald Tier and up! Emerald and above get early access to all texture pack builds and betas, but I still want to share with everyone what has been added and changed! This will be available down the road for Diamond and up!

    I have redone the PBR on the stone, and along with that, have done all of the ores! Both normal and deepslate. A much requested update for the PBR addon!

    Changelog:
    -smooth stone
    -smooth stone slab
    -stone (redone)
    -stone cutter (3 textures)
    -coal ore (redone)
    -iron ore (normal and deepslate)
    -copper ore (normal and deepslate)
    -gold ore (normal and deepslate)
    -redstone ore (normal and deepslate)
    -lapis ore (normal and deepslate)
    -diamond ore (normal and deepslate)

    64x
    128x
    256x
    512x
    PBR Addon

    I hope you guys enjoyed this preview! I intend to keep releasing pictures and videos as things go for those who do not have the pack yet so they can see what they would get if they become a patron! I of course suggest you become a patron and try things out!

    If you have any comments or suggestions feel free to speak your mind! The one cool with with having a free patron/follower set up is even if you can't become a paid patron for the packs now, you can still see what's being added and changed so you can whenever you're ready!

    Today is the day i learned: PMC has 2 Factor Authentication - GO enable it now!!!! *pretty please*



    I feel like such a fool - i hardened and secured every account i have - heck i even use physical security keys by now - except for one crucial: my PMC Account.
    This couldve gone (/can be) so bad with my reach/presence. My humble apologies for this oversight.

    Please enable 2FA on all your crucial google, apple, proton, microsoft, etc accounts - credential leaks happen basically every week by now.

    after some mc building today, worked on the website a bit.
    and checked some stats.

    Why is Meta trying to ddos my website lol
    like everyone being "reasonable" and only sending daily 1-500 bot requests / per ai comapny..
    Meta: 16 THOUSAND..

    the site even has only like 5-600 pages. (260 projects + 3d)

    Idk what it takes for you guys,
    but realizing that your weather app is tracking you, to sell your location data, is certainly a bar i do snap' at.


    Working on more minecraft stuff again today and then spend the afternoon inspecting and yeeting apps of my phone.
    Found this open source attempt at a ios and android weather app, https://ossweather.akylas.fr/ OSS Weather and on Linux i found: "Mousam" which is very nice

    edit: wrong app screenshotted #updated img
    SEfaught2026-09-17 14:34:04
    kind of reminds me of those notification you would get when downloading a new app, basically asking if the app has your permission to make phone calls
    Kraggle092026-09-15 15:25:58
    Edit: I see the fixed image now, that’s definitely crossing a line.


    It’s all able to be opted out of, and it’s not being sold. It’s standard product improvement analytics. It’s more like the person going to the mayor and saying “hey this person couldn’t find LOCATION, we should add a sign for it”. Unless I’m missing something in the privacy policy.
    McMeddon2026-09-15 15:02:46
    Metapher: Asking a local person on the street for directions and then both going their own separate ways VS asking for directions once, and then they follow you, while keeping notes, where you go and what you wear.
    Kraggle092026-09-15 14:26:37
    oh wait, duh it “tracks your location” how else does it tell you the weather?
    Kraggle092026-09-15 14:21:10
    I mean, that’s only if you have analytics enabled in iOS settings, right? Since Weather is a system app?

    This is like a super lowball and harmless example, but..

    i swear researching for projects and trying to find authentic and real references gets like.. harder and harder every year. When google and co are just flooded with 10 altered versions + ai recreations of a real place. So frustrating, like having to analyse every image if its real or not...


    McMeddon2026-09-16 06:50:21
    i just tested that for a sunken ships in swamps AND HOLY HEAVENS IS IT DIFFERENT.
    Awhikax2026-09-15 13:56:20
    Google offer filtering by date so I guess filtering anything pre-AI era would help.
    Looking for nature photography contest websites may also be a good way to find "natural" images (often photoshopped though).
    DOOMSTRYKER2026-09-14 09:22:20
    I agree with you on this one. I want to see REAL untouched pictures of REAL Earth for my builds! Not something regurgitated by AI. I want to see the true beauty of our world.

    LG IS SOOO DONE.

    On my recent TV with invasive ACR post.
    Its apparently way worse.

    -They are insecure( with unpatched 0Day & RCE's), botnet enabling, data scrapers, analyzing you, your network, your surroundings, your neighbors. Nothing is save. And neither is the data it captures, because they store it all in LOGS and send off. To a firm LG doesnt even fully control.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA
    You can have EVERYTHING denied. And they still profile you. May they crash and burn and get sued to hell.


    This is not LG only - samsung, hisense, tcl, sony, vizio etc do that ship very very like tooI hope this whole add/tech burns to the ground one day.
    CalDoesStuff2026-09-11 20:56:38
    reading this on my LG monitor 😔
    McMeddon2026-09-09 12:53:28
    Oh yea im pissed!
    Linux: Was 100% Worth it! Let me give you my 7-8 months intro knowledge:

    GET VENTOY for install! You can try first without even installing (usb), or try it on a secondary pc/laptop or in a VM.
    Debian/Ubuntu (lts), Fedora(mid cycle) or CachyOS (latest) with KDE (win like) or Gnome (mac like) is just 95% you need.
    Do 1 OS per system, dualboot Linux+Win possible, but can be a real hassle especially when something breaks.
    Dont trust google serp results, i bricked my system once or twice.

    Main limits, currently VM's on linux have no native GPU passthrough support, limited support for various proprietary (video/audio-) codecs h265, mpeg or aac. Ms native/locked programs, Mc Bedrock, games with kernel anti cheat, Adobe programs, and niche proprietary programs. Most windows programs are possible to run with bottles/wine or winboat. 80/20 chance.
    Awhikax2026-09-09 11:58:39
    lmao now you're gonna hate them
    I should definitely switch to Linux, one day...
    McMeddon2026-09-09 11:52:25
    I am SO aware. And got me laughing when i saw, this on my windows partition
    Gladly i switched to linux (cachy) earlier this year.

    On the privacy note - tip:
    For you iPhone users check out this research/inspection tool: Loupe
    Showcases how fingerprinting on ordinary data points, can reveal your interests, habits and circumstances.



    Its amazing, got labled gamer, purely on the basis that i had twitch installed KEKW
    But also put me into the Privacy bucket, because i had Signal and Proton apps.

    I figured out that 1/1000 images of mine had a geotag (grrrrr).
    I also learned that my phone has a barometer?!
    McMeddon2026-09-08 15:07:22
    barometer is like to meassure air pressure. Apparently its for:

    Vertical GPS and floor detection.
    Fittness tracking (the movement changes) + Activity recognition.
    Part of weather analytics, if your local pressure drops it could warn about rain.
    Oh for paragliding apps when you fly in the mountains.
    int322026-09-08 13:40:35
    so there may be apps stealing your barometric information? creepy!
    (I have no idea what they could infer from THAT!)

    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.
    TheDiamondPlayables2026-09-08 09:36:12
    I mean, not really?
    This is just what I need to do so I can proudly say that the stuff I make were properly designed and optimized for every game release it supports.

    Cute reminder TURN OFF ACR AND OTHER SETTINGS: all your TV's track/monitor/spy on you for advertisement/user-profiling by capturing your screens c:

    Samsung, TCL, LG, Roku, Vizio, Sony.. basically all do ACR, they know when&what you watch, play, or when you do work or shop

    (On the LG G5, identifiable ACR-related traffic)
    Dronko fire blaster2026-09-07 14:30:57
    we do, but its a rear projection crt, though we do have a fire stick on it.
    McMeddon2026-09-07 14:12:06
    check the settings, turn of acr and any marketing settings. It does help.

    MerBatPhan892026-09-06 12:21:17
    Good thing I don't use any of those streaming services as I prefer physical media, and for YouTube I use Newpipe/Pipepipe which blocks all the annoying ads and prevents my data from being sold to Google.

    New world map before GTA6 lul

    The UN voted for a new map projection to be used - Bye Bye Mercator, hello equal earth c:
    New one comes with better country proportions and doesnt exxagerates the polar regions as much

    also only now I noticed that mercator freacking placed the equator line into Algeria instead of Gabon, DRC, Kenya etc. wth xD

    McMeddon2026-09-07 08:09:04
    probably not, but they surely can continue using mercator - sea maps for sea mateys and land maps for the land rats ARRR
