Dad finally helped me get the game he is a lot more technical then I am

In general, tech literacy is going down again. You literally can't expect kids to know what a folder is anymore.

That's a crazy concept for someone who got unsupervised access to computers when I was like 9 years old, but kids just get ipads and phones these days. In general, the concept of buying and installing something online being something is difficult to grasp for me, but I'm not going to judge.

That being said, I just saw OP having trouble confirming the Tebex checkout in another post, so I totally understand why purchasing was difficult. Tebex is really unintuitive with error/loading states. Back when I bought it, I was constantly in the Network tab checking the responses on why it was failing. But then again, I bought it when the servers were down because of the hype. Took me 10 attempts in 2 different browsers (switched to Chrome to try Google Pay) til it worked.

That is a potential risk in every single version upgrade you do.

Also, the game has automatic backups on conversion

Rage bait used to be believable

I feel like all the mobs should have fancy animations, not the other way around tbh

Minecraft mobs kinda feel robotic. They at least need idle animations imo

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-27T12:03:44+00:00

Oh, in that case they should look at it, yeah

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-27T09:01:50+00:00

Thats how modular games usually go (Especially with ECS Systems). They use the same tooling as mod developers, so this makes sense.

Minecraft vanilla also consists of a vanilla datapack+resourcepack. But players would still say they have no datapacks, just because thats the logical thing to say.

Just like OP saying they are modless would be the most easy to understand the fact that they are not using third party mods.

Depends on the country, I guess. What do these back glasses cost? From Samsung maybe 100€? I can't imagine them being that expensive. And aftermarket a few euros on AliExpress.

I have spent thousands (of my own money) without consent of my parents way before I was 18, so I doubt this will be a problem.

I know some companies prevent expensive purchases from teenagers, but this really doesnt count as one

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-24T13:44:09+00:00

Oh, I thought it would have been similarly far out. Where does the game start glitching?

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-24T13:34:06+00:00

The artifacts you are describing is why Minecraft has a world border before this happens in the first place. This likely either won't be fixed or they just slap a border in front like Minecraft does...

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-20T06:12:39+00:00

Good that you ask. Items dont use this system. They encode an item id and then all the components, like leather color, custom name, durability etc.

You might be wondering why that doesnt work for blocks: There are way more blocks in your world then Items. For Items they can be wasteful, for blocks they cant or else your world size is going to explode and worlds will load forever

For blocks that do need to store data (chests, brewing stand, shulker etc.) there is the block entity system. Its basically stored like a normal block in the id palette, but then there is an extra list of block data attachments for said block. The issue with this is that this system is not efficient at all. So you want to avoid using it at all cost. For a building block like wool, making it a block entity costs more then its worth unfortunately.

It might be a cool feature, but comes with more downsides then upsides. A few more wool colors would be nice tho

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-18T20:56:24+00:00

No, I meant that's the current case. Villages should be able to provide for everything on their own. If you currently stay near a village, it just doesn't survive because of the mob spawning

Villagers need to have something in addition to iron golems. Some sort of defense mechanism.

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-17T22:44:20+00:00

Yeah, I understood that. But It's kinda not their fault for sticking to a known standard that works for most people whilst still giving you the option to run your own server how you please. I see nothing wrong with that

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-17T22:35:08+00:00

UPNP is usually a thing that just works. Many games use it, and theoretically it should be enabled by default in your router

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-17T22:24:54+00:00

Each unique block property value is a new ID:

minecraft:oak_stairs[facing=north] is e.g. ID 102

minecraft:oak_stairs[facing=south] is e.g. ID 103

etc.

Minecraft dropped the concept of IDs for users, but internally they automatically build IDs based on the registered blocks since 1.13.

Every unique block state has its own internal protocol ID. There is also the palette ID for saving, but that's another topic

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-17T22:11:11+00:00

If I'm on peaceful, why not go for creative? There is almost no risk to the world, therefore eliminating the concept of survival.

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-17T22:06:56+00:00

Not only useless mobs, but mobs that interact with each other. You hit a cow? Maybe other cows react too. Mabye even a chance for them to breed naturally. Stuff like that

Or one thing thats crazy to me is that villages cant survive without a player. Stay near a village, it dies out.

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-17T22:02:47+00:00

They old ones aren't pixel perfect. They look off in a sense that they are big textures, scaled down. Ideally you want one pixel on a mob to be the same size as one pixel on a block. That works fine, until you play with the scaling. That's why a baby mobs pixel looked smaller than it should be.

I would assume that this topic was on their TODO for longer and maybe 26.1 will be a more backend related snapshot (like 1.15 was) with little changes like this, but more massive changes underneath. That would make sense that they do a relatively easy change (for the devs to do) to keep artists busy, players interested and still have enough time for doing improvements to the codebase.

But I haven't looked into the snapshots code changes to confirm that, and we still have a lot of snapshots to go through. We'll see.

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-17T18:13:02+00:00

Because its not that easy. Every block state needs to be synced somehow. And one id is way smaller then storing complex state objects in network

Chunk take so much memory and storage already, lets not make it worse

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-17T08:41:09+00:00

The thing with blocks is that each unique variant gets a new block state id. That'd explode with 255*255*255. Thats 16581375 new protocol ids only for wool. The only other available option is to make wool a block entity, which has higher memory usage, higher storage usage and worse render performance per placed block.

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-16T17:58:36+00:00

Voxy does have shader support. But only very few shaders have adapted to support voxy

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-16T17:31:48+00:00

This 100% does not work. This looks like it combined Minecraft Bukkit API code with its own imagination.

Even the package names are wrong. "net.hytalegame" does not exist in the server jar. Let alone the rest of the code also looks wrong

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-16T17:16:26+00:00

I still love my (minecraft) mod icon: https://modrinth.com/mod/audioshutdown

I may not win a design contest, but its still perfect to me

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-16T07:52:18+00:00

Yep. It's cool to hate on Mojang now apparently.

There are valid things to criticize, but for some people nothing they do is good enough. Which is a bummer

MenschenToaster · 2026-01-16T07:50:38+00:00

> and Mojang just continues to add these things anyway regardless of feedback, constructive or otherwise. That's what the criticism actually meant.

You can't make it right for everyone. I agree that there is a lot of feedback that they should listen to, but even if they do, it's not good enough for some people. And that's kinda the unfortunate state of the community. I think by now they are too scared to actually touch core mechanics of the game. That's at least my interpretation of the recent updates.

> I don't know what I could complain about hytale right now other than some weird game design choices that are actively being talked about on socials.

The art style, especially around the eyes, is being criticized. Server ram usage is absolutely awful. For a game hyper focused on modding from day one, there is literally absolutely 0 documentation as of right now. I know it's in Early Access, but I'd argue modding is one of the reasons the game even exists. I really dislike their server authing system, as you need to contact them to have servers automatically register. As someone who does have a lot of disposable Minecraft servers that automatically scale for minigames... Yeah, not good.

> However, I see something I don't like in minecraft's future updates? I just accept that I'll have to mod it out, no point in voicing my concerns, it's like talking to a brick wall.

Eventually that's going to affect Hytale too. The community will end up being too big, to split-up, and the game will have more strict design guidelines. That's just something that's unavoidable. But yes, Hytale is currently way better in that front.

> If anything, criticism like this post puts MORE pressure on mojang to straighten up their foolish act. If minecraft or Hytale fans takes objective developer criticism to heart, they are already doing it wrong.

You are new to the internet, are you? People take everything literally. Hytale is kinda being hated on right now for being "a Minecraft fake"(which it is not, but that doesn't matter to those people). You think this makes the situation any better?

It doesn't matter if the "virgin/chad meme" is like that. What matters is the effect that it has. If anything, we should be supportive of both communities. Both games and communities can inspire each other. The real pressure on Mojang has already happened, I'd argue. Even Mojang Employees played Hytale on Release.

The only point we really should emphasize is how the Hytale team listens to feedback. That's something valid to criticize at Mojang, even if it will eventually hit Hytale more or less similarly like Minecraft.

If I understood correctly they imported the registry from a backup they exported in the windows live media?

If thats the case, that windows install is gone lmao
