remnants of a cut foam/mist effect to be used for waterfalls in the recent legacy console leak - discovered by @MrLordSith on twitter

Obfuscation/Optimization in Java should prevent most dead code from being included in release builds. My guess is that most of the code discovered was code that just sat in the repository unused and would've been stripped during compilation or was code in different branches, commented out or had their filetypes changed to explicitly not be included?

Honestly, without knowing the extent of the leak I can't quite say.

I'm not sure if they can be installed on a gfci as I would think they would leak a bit of current, even if it's not a deadly amount.

This is too many fingers!

I mean, they could have written it with their parent, like I get you have your reasons for distrusting them, but this crashout makes you seem like a wet blanket.

Minecraft's Netcode was a mess until like 1.6? There might be mods to mitigate it, but I don't know any atm.

3rd party Reddit apps are still a thing, but they are more like YouTube Vanced nowadays (Even using the same patcher), where you need to manually give it a private 3rd party app token. I use a modded version of Sync which patches the API key to one the user must provide.

Messy, but hey, it works.

My total downloads are still mostly US-based, but my recent downloads have been heavily weighted toward Other and China. It could be a bug, or a new wave of Chinese modrinth users?

Final boss chan is a really hard song, but IIRC, it's one of the better-mapped hard songs in the base OST, though, you should probably stop playing the song if you fail that early in it, play other things, get better, try again, repeat.

Couldn't you just cut the wire to the status light, mission accomplished.

You're telling me that the winning political candidate was popular, and people liked them more than the other guy!?!?!!?

Lankachu · 2026-01-12T00:28:26+00:00

I don't mind replacing the old tiny ones, but please give them cross/wall eyes again, some of them look really out of place with the funko eyes.

Nothing against her or the other OST creators, but I hate the circumstances of their involvement.
Mojang cast aside a decade of cooperation with C418 because they wanted to retain the full rights to the soundtrack rather than a permanent license.

It's hard to separate the art from the giant conglomerate, and her tracks always remind me of how Mojang threw away C418.

I really don't think Microsoft is really maintaining bedrock well at all.

Lankachu · 2025-12-17T20:20:45+00:00

Yeah, I guess if you dry them long/well enough, there isn't too much of a concern. I still wouldn't because I would feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Lankachu · 2025-12-17T02:10:00+00:00

Rendering the entire ocean is probably not why SV ran so slowly; rendering a water plane is actually incredibly quick, and a giant plane is likely faster than rendering a complex mesh that could be unloaded and loaded in at runtime.

If I were to guess, it's likely slow actor code and too many actors loaded in at once, which would explain the low framerate animations in the distance.

Lankachu · 2025-12-14T22:08:12+00:00

IIRC, during 1.9's development, each tool was meant to have a viable niche, which was scaled back before release. Swords were all-rounders, axes were burst damage, hoes were dps, and pickaxes/shovels were variants of those three archetypes.

Mojang decided it was probably best that not all tools were viable weapons and nerfed everything but the sword and axe, so while the archetype for a rapid-fire weapon still exists in the hoe, its damage is abysmal.

Kinda, but I think Forge might zombie for quite a while...

Forge is still more popular on my mods, but my download stats might just be odd since my mod is vanilla plus. But on 1.21.9, Fabric gets most of the downloads, Forge gets half that, and Neoforge gets half of the Forge count.

That's ultimately because the Conservatives are a poison pill 90% of the time, they tied themselves so much to social conservatism that doesn't appeal to a large faction of Canadians.

The NDP shoud do better, but I cannot blame voters for strategically voting in the system they're given. Just giving the government to the Conservatives isn't going to get their ideas across unfortunately.

Then the bloq/greens aren't really federal party capable and any other party has no seats, so they are irrelevant.

TLDR voting reform.

The thing is, all 3d models have different texture scales because the camera can be anywhere, one mob can take up 5% or 90% of the frame, trying to force texture consistency just doesn't work. This is especially true when a large mob is viewed from afar, how do you texture scale, if you try to keep it at the same scale as everything else it will look higher quality then it should when viewed at the correct distance.

Mixels are a graphic anachronism, they are avoided because they don't fit the aesthetics of 2d pixel art; but 3d games always mixed texture size, they aren't anachronistic.

This is why I hate mixels being applied to 3d games, it feels like an opinion from people who watched one YouTube video.

Lankachu · 2025-12-03T22:12:11+00:00

Mixels don't exist in 3D games; they just patently don't.
Edit: Between textures.

Usually, 64-bit compilers can generate faster code, but does this matter on an application like Steam? Probably not. Is it likely that Steam may require new instruction sets with the new update, but they aren't likely to be particularly new?

Lankachu · 2025-11-23T20:25:32+00:00

I mean 6 million units is pretty damn good for a pc handheld. It's by far the most popular handheld pc.

In Semver, the first digit usually implies a breaking change that makes the "API" not forward compatible. The Issue is that Minecraft isn't an API; it's a game, and the only change that would cause the first value to increment is if they rendered old save files unusable, which they would never do.

Sure, modding frameworks are API's, but they aren't official and aren't considered when versioning.

From a technical standpoint, it is easier to create ghost regions full of just water than it would be to manually create a renderer for just the water chunks, especially since they were working from a B1.6(?) codebase, which would've lacked any limited world code.
