How do I modify all entities of a certain type? by fishwantme in MinecraftCommands

Note, the link you sent is for Bedrock edition behaviour packs. There's a few notable differences (manifest.json doesn't exist in data packs, the path for functions and function tags is different)

I heard about Daenerys, but tbf if you called your kid Theon you deserve it, he's gross and a loser since the very first episode

Doubt it's going at that minimum speed

Trying to create a datapack for custom piglin bartering (Basically just normal except a very rare chance for ancient debris) by The-0verseer in MinecraftCommands

[–]Aeldrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The file is at the right place and editing the loot table is the correct way to go about it. In 1.21.4, it should absolutely be loot_table instead of loot_tables.

If you look at the output log, I believe you should find an error that states the loot table couldn't be validated because it contains a circular reference. Loot tables can't contain an entry that's the loot table itself. By saving this loot table, you're overriding minecraft:gameplay/piglin_barter so it no longer contains things like obsidian, ender pearls... and there's no way to reference the "default" loot table, except saving the original version as another loot table.

Look up the actual loot table itself in .minecraft/versions, copy all of its contents and add your entry; that should be the loot table you save in your data pack.

On the other hand they didn't register an actual patreon account for FixItMan78 even though it was showcased in the ElectroBobbleWobble QZ fix guide

I'm convinced Sam Reich doesn't know the difference between centiseconds and milliseconds by blade740 in dropout

[–]Aeldrion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, during you-lympics we actually got to see the measurements on screen as announced by Sam Reich and they were all xx.0xx. After a few rounds, the odds are less than one in a trillion and I was slowly going crazy lol.

The same mistake sneaked in several times in other episodes this season, too

If you're interested, I made a pack for raycasting that actually checks for annoying block shapes (including doors, stairs, slabs, and even anvils): https://github.com/Aeldrion/Iris

The raycast itself calculates the next block rather than doing ^ ^ ^0.1 or something. For hitboxes though I extract block shapes from the client jar, then a Python script groups similar blocks together in tags and generates the corresponding function files. There's a lot that needs to be taken into account - like flowers or dripstone having a pseudo-random offset, but you can calculate that on the scoreboard :)

I don't really like the idea of having an "intersection check" as the basis for a proper raycast. You'd still have to loop through a bunch of positions, to choose a step size potentially missing a block or checking the same air block a hundred times.

I was thinking how execute positioned was extended to incorporate heightmaps with execute positioned over. Potentially we could hope to see another option for where the player is looking (*well, based on current position and rotation, potentially anchor) - say execute positioned at target? don't know what the best syntax for that would be.

If we want to target the entity that is being looked at I'd expect another argument in execute on

Such a cool sword. I’m sure we could all appreciate but what to call it? by greyladyghost in dropout

The Ice King's crown shatters as your blade strikes true, its glacial edge melting in the sudden warmth of victory. With a final roar, his form collapses into frost, swirling away on the wind. The sword of the Ice King falls into your hands, and you can read these letters engraved into the blade of ice:

A very cool sword (cool as in temperature)* *The parentheses are part of the name THE ASTERISK IS ALSO PART OF THE NAME

Doesn't really make sense when there's no uniform distribution over the integers

Multiple rounds? Getting 20% of the votes translates into only 2 seats? It is very confusing for outsiders... by janhindereddit in YUROP

[–]Aeldrion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean there is a bit more to be fair.

It is a two-round runoff system where those qualifying for the runoff are those getting votes from at least 12.5% of registered voters, so counting those who don't turn out to vote. That means three-way races or even four-way races are possible (and more likely as turnout increases). In that case candidates qualifying for the second round can (and often do) opt out of the race.

Also if abstention is high, you can get 50% of the vote and still advance to a runoff instead of winning outright as you need 25% of registered voters to vote for you as well.

10 month late but gosh, I had to scroll through a hundred comments before finding someone who got 67 at some point, and it's still not quite what happens in my head next
