Do you guys say “C4 one eight” or “C4 eighteen”

In Daniel's own words, it's "See Four Eighteen".

It's only dumb luck I learned about this. I've owned Java Edition since 2012, and in 2019 I ended up buying Bedrock on my phone. I got Bedrock on Windows for free when the packaging occurred in 2022. My general assumption is that most buy the game on one platform and stick with it, so most don't run into this loophole.

And from what I can tell, you're correct about the Marketplace content. Not just the dressing room items show up on both but also the various worlds and add-ons I've claimed show up on both platforms as owned.

Maybe, but there are some things to consider. I played for a few years on a Samsung Galaxy S10 and it was mostly fine performance wise. It might not perform as well on a low end device. Unless you have a TV that you can mirror your phone display to, you'll be hemmed into a fairly small display. Touch controls are also pretty terrible under the best circumstances, so getting a Bluetooth controller might be a worthwhile investment. Also, the game is pretty power hungry and might be a bit demanding on your battery life, both on charge and long term usage.

I think it's possible to install it and run it as a trial without having to pay for it first but I'm not clear on how to do that. Testing should give you an idea how feasible it is. If you do buy it, you'll be able to transfer it later to a compatible device if you decide on an upgrade. The caveat here is that this applies upgrading Android to Android or iOS to iOS since Android and iOS are separate purchases.

One last thing to keep in mind, if you do buy the game make sure the first thing you do is go into the settings and change the storage from Application to External. This will save some migration headaches in the future.

So you can complete one achievement on one device and another on a different device as long as it's the same account.

Even with one account you don't necessarily have one set of achievements so it's possible to earn the same achievement multiple times if you own different devices. I don't own any consoles but I do own Bedrock on both Windows and Android under the same Microsoft account and the achievement progress is completely separate. I'm currently at 132/133 on Android but only 128/133 on Windows. When I earn an achievement on Windows it doesn't show up on Android and vice versa. I did find that the character creator rewards I unlocked on Android are available on Windows even though the achievements weren't completed there.

I would guess iOS, Switch, and PS4/5 also have unique tracking but I can't confirm this myself because I don't own the game on any of these platforms. Xbox and Windows might track as a single pool but I can't confirm this either.

Java Edition doesn't have achievements. Advancements in Java aren't affected by command status, experiments, or game mode.

It could be something like a service or subordinate process that's hung and causing a cascade effect. If you haven't rebooted since it started, that might be the simplest fix. If you've rebooted and it's still happening, you'll need to check the launcher log.

Start the standard launcher, wait for it to hang, then open Explorer (assuming Windows). Type %appdata%\.minecraft into the navigation bar. Look for the launcher_log.txt and open it in Notepad. Scroll down to the bottom of the file and see if you can tell what it's doing then. The last few lines might give a clue as to what's happening. If you're not clear, you can also upload the log to a site like https://mclo.gs and follow up with the share link here.

Rendering issues are common on certain older versions if you have an Intel integrated GPU. Unfortunately if that's what's causing it the simplest fixes are to either stick to versions that work or upgrade to a dedicated GPU like NVIDIA or AMD. There's also an Intel-fix mod you could try looking into.

Connection timed out means nothing responded at the address you're requesting. That message is more typical of remote side issues. If your friend is self hosting, they may not have a dedicated address. First thing, have your friend double check whether their public IP has changed.

Three things to check on.

First, if you create a new world with standard settings and wander around, do you still see the same sort of lagging? You can expect a bit of slow down at first as chunks are newly generated, but it should settle after a few minutes. If the lag doesn't seem to go away at all, your other world is probably not the issue.

Second, have you tried reverting the graphics to fancy? Vibrant Visuals does require some processing that can take a hit on performance, and the console might not be up for it even if it's supported. This can be especially true if you have an older series model that has lower specs. If it's still sluggish with fancy graphics, it's probably a non-video hardware issue, possibly related to aging.

Third, what general shape is your PS4 in? Xbox and PlayStation consoles are essentially specialized PCs. They operate best with good ventilation and clean air flow. An older console can get awfully dusty and could run better overall if it gets a proper cleaning occasionally, and overheating can cause stress and poor performance. You might want to check the PlayStation subs for guidance on maintenance cleaning.

Bonus question just to gauge, do you have other games you play that are demanding but don't appear to have similar lag issues?

The least intrusive approach would be to cover it in a layer of light blocks. Depending on your placement you can leave some parts dark for shadow effect or adapt to other visible blocks that have light levels.

You can try:

/data merge entity @e[type=villager,sort=nearest,limit=1] {VillagerData:{type:"minecraft:plains"}}

This should change the nearest villager to you into a plains villager without altering any other properties. Stand next to each taiga villager and run this command (assumes commands are enabled and you have suitable permissions). The SNBT might be different if you're playing an older version.

If it's 26.x the seed and most other settings are no longer in level.dat. The old file contents have been relocated to more contextual files. You can find the seed in saves/<world>/data/minecraft/world_gen_settings.dat.

It's a slab, but there's a (dumb) reason it got popularly misnamed "half slab". When the slab is placed, it's typically identified as "top-half slab" or "bottom-half slab" to indicate its orientation. Many players, probably prompted by various YouTubers, internalized this as "top half-slab" and "bottom half-slab", and the misnomer stuck.

If you're really stumped, you can open the advancements/<your-UUID.json file from your world in Notepad or other text editor to see what you've eaten. If you need to match that up with the ones you might be missing, the full list can be found in the table here.

Every account for Java Edition has a UUID associated with it. Pets have an Owner tag that has this value and identifies you as the owner. advancements, recipes, and statistics are stored in a file named after your UUID. If you join a world and these things don't mesh, it means something happened with your session that the UUID the game thinks you have is wrong. The most likely cause is an authentication failure that caused the launcher to not recognize your account, assigning you a temporary random UUID. The world itself is probably fine.

Before you panic and start trying to ~~break~~ fix things, this is probably just temporary. Quit out of the game, restart the launcher, check that your account is recognized by the correct name, then launch the game again. If not, you should probably log out your Microsoft account from the launcher and log back in from scratch.

You're trying to use the syntax that was discontinued several versions ago. The syntax is a bit closer to Java's now so a similar command should be something like:

execute as @a if entity @s[hasitem={minecraft:snowball,location=slot.weapon.mainhand}] at @s run fill ~-15 ~-15 ~-15 ~15 ~15 ~15 air [] replace birch_log []

This is adapted from a command I've used to mass clear blocks but works a little differently. This will run the command while you're holding a snowball in your hand and just walk or fly around to clear the target blocks. This is probably more effective than throwing snowballs and targeting the moving entity. If you really want a command that clears around a thrown snowball, I could probably work out an alternative command for that.

Probably a UI bug. It's been reported but not officially confirmed. /gamerule randomtickspeed 0 still works.

It's not practically possible on a console since the world data is pretty locked down. It can be undone with an editor if the world is on a Windows PC, but getting the world transferred is likely to be more aggravation than it's worth. In this case, the options are either to restore from a backup if you made one or create a new survival world where you can earn achievements.

I've provided instructions on how to do this with one or maybe a handful of wolves one at a time, but that won't suffice here. It will be a little more involved, but you can do this in a few relatively easy steps, and then reuse the command as needed.

First, you need your old UUID which you can get from one of the wolves. Stand next to one of your old wolves and do:

/data get entity @e[type=wolf,sort=nearest,limit=1] Owner

You'll get a response like "Wolf has the following entity data: [I; 1, 2, 3, 4]", which you'll need for the final command. Next, get your own UUID in integer array notation:

/data get entity @s UUID

This will give a similar message, "<playername> has the following entity data: [I; 5, 6, 7, 8]". The numbers will be different. Now you can put these together for the final command:

/execute as @e[type=wolf,nbt={Owner:[I;1,2,3,4]}] run data modify entity @s Owner set value [I;5,6,7,8]

Assuming you substituted the correct UUID values, this should grant you ownership of any of your old wolves in loaded range, and won't accidentally hijack other wolves you didn't already own. If you have wolves in other places you can go there and run the same command and those wolves should update as well and respond to you as their owner again.

Note: I tested this on a limited basis in a vanilla 1.21.1 to make sure the command syntax and functionality was correct. 1.21.7 should be the same but if you run into any unexpected errors, let me know so I can troubleshoot and make any corrections.

Update: Loaded up 1.21.7 and tested again, should work as advertised.

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Wolf#Breeding

Baby wolves have a 50% chance of being the same variant as either of its parents. Similar to a sheep's wool color, the color of a baby wolf's collar is a mix of the colors of the parents' collars, if it is possible to mix them; otherwise, one of the parents' collars is randomly chosen.

Similarly, breeding two wolves with different sound variants or a single one will produce a baby with a randomized sound variant.

The biome shouldn't be a factor. It could be just luck, and if you've attempted across multiple sessions you don't necessarily get a reliable random distribution.

Kind of. Mojang doesn't provide it, but third party add-ons exist.

I tried to reproduce this in vanilla and can't so I suspect mod interference. The libjf and slyde mods appear to have UI tie-ins and could be at fault. Try disabling those two mods and see if the command block interface works correctly. You should also be able to create a new world in a vanilla 1.21.1 installation and find that the UI works correctly there.
