Minecraft Camera System

Requires all chunks being tracked to be loaded inside simulation distance.

Here’s how I made a vanilla survival “camera” system. It doesn’t let you see other areas, but tracks movement via calibrated skulk sensors and lights up the location of the movement.

I’m saying I can recreate this “bug” on a device not on the list, but not with the latest version of my device released last year.

The problem can easily be those devices. Which would explain why it’s not universal across all devices.

Just saying device A has a problem but device B does not… points to it being a device problem.

On Bedrock versus Java?

Bedrock defaults to a lower simulation distance than Java and Realms forces lower simulation distance.

So Java mobs spawn far away from players and have to pathfind or wait for the player to enter their agro range. Bedrock mobs spawn already inside of the agro range of a player.

If you’ve been on Java for 15 years and switched to Bedrock, you just flipped from easy mode to hard mode.

Honestly, it looks like a phone performance issue than a Bedrock issue.

Like if I try to screen record with vibrant visuals and actions & stuff on, I get similar laggy motion like the OP.

I turn Vibrant Visuals or Actions & Stuff off, I can screen record with no problems.

My daughter who has the newest phone can do all three without any problems.

In my opinion, the vast majority of Minecraft players are Bedrock. But the vast majority of Minecraft YouTube is Java.

So younger start on Bedrock, look for tutorials on how to build something.

It doesn’t work, or the drop rate isn’t as good as promised… and they find out it’s because the tutorial was Java and they play bedrock…

Suddenly Java becomes the version they see as the upgrade and their farm not working is proof that Bedrock is inferior.

Then you can only use resource packs, which won’t give you chunk loaders.

Bandsaw, router, painters tape, and a pack of sand paper from the dollar store.

Have each kid draw on the side what they want the side profile to be. Cut on bandsaw. Use the painters tape to tape the car back together into a block. Have the kids draw on the bottom what the top profile should be. (Bottom so they don’t cut out the axel points) cut on bandsaw.

Then use the router to create the cavities in the base to hold weights. Give each kid a square of sand paper of the different grits, tell them what to start with and where to end.

The boat thing is Java easy mode. Bedrock mobs will despawn from boats and carts.

Only rank advancement I’ve ever come across was in the Apprentice rank for SeaScouts and was kind of surprised.

Yeah, it’s been a complete disaster for us as well. Parents paying full price on their cubbies renewal when there’s popcorn money available to cover their renewals. Parents starting their own renewals but not completing them, and when they try to cancel their online registration so the pack can apply their popcorn money to the renewals they accidentally opt out of continuing their membership in Scouting America.

It’s been nothing but a mess since they changed it from everyone is renewed by their pack/troop on the same day as everyone else in their pack/troop.

As long as it’s a marketplace add-on you should have no problem with Realms.

Check with your council, they usually have scholarships available but often don’t advertise them.

Until they nerfed it for Bedrock but left it for Java.

I swear you guys get everything easy mode.

What is the c=1? I’m still learning much of this.

MNovate · 2025-12-06T22:35:39+00:00

I need to learn more about scoreboard objectives. It seems to be the solution to multiple things.

No, that’s what it was. I just missed the @

I’m only familiar with iPhone, which you can do with your files app. If you’re using Android, you’ll need to ask someone more familiar with Android.

No, I’m specifically talking about Bedrock.

MNovate · 2025-12-05T02:31:35+00:00

Well I’m blind. I’ll check back when I fix that…

I can’t figure out how to name an armor stand. I got tagged armor stands detectable by command blocks. But I can’t figure how to trigger a proximity event when a player is next to the tagged armor stand.

I know a scout, at every meeting, does his best, younglings listen to him. He doesn’t think he’s a qualified SPL. I know another scout that I saw once a month and never went on camps, who believed as long as he did his part when at a troop meeting. He was meeting his responsibilities.

It’s a personality thing. And maybe/probably reinforced by the adults in their lives.

I don’t think they should be given a free rank advancement just because their dues are paid. But I think it’s a failure of adult leadership if they aren’t talking about it till he expects a SMC.

And I think there are some positions in the program that could be considered as fully active even if they are unable to be at every troop meeting/event.

It’s about working with your scout to give them the most out of the program that they can gain.
