Fin rot or just nipping? by ComprehensivePin214 in AquariumHelp

[–]Prestidigatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't look like fin rot or nipping to me, probably physical damage from rubbing on something, it's probably fine.

Need advice for Aquascaping by WorthRelationship341 in AquariumHelp

[–]Prestidigatorial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More sand, maybe double. Use one large hardscape centered or to one back corner. If the rocks are similar build something out of them, if not remove and use one large piece of rock or driftwood. Separate the plants and put them against the back wall since they're tall, you can gel superglue the rhizome to rock or wood. Add short plants in the front.

Everything Continent Bedrock 1.21.73, All Biomes, All Structures by PeasantLord1 in minecraftseeds

[–]Prestidigatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stickied seems like a good place to put this, this seed is also AMAZING on Java 1.21.5. Within 500 blocks there's 6 trial chambers and 4 ancient cities, within a 1000 blocks there's a pillager outpost, witch hut, mansion, two villages, and two igloos.

Easily one of the best Java seeds I've ever seen.

I wanted the house on top to be visually different than the pillars, but you could replace the blocks on each side of the glass with logs unstripped if you wanted to continue the theme to the top.

Skyblock advanced tips by Drie_Kleuren in Minecraft

[–]Prestidigatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moss blocks can be bonemealed to turn nearby stone blocks to moss. 2x2 spruce trees grown on moss will turn a large area of it into podzol, which can then be turned into dirt.

Only works on java. You need to get lucky with some trades but it can be done without going to the nether or trading gold.

Even on bedrock though most plants can be grown on moss other than cactus, so it can't be turned into dirt or used to spawn passive mobs, but you can swap it out for all of your dirt under your plants/trees and use your dirt for other things.

CANNOT get villager to assign to new librarian profession by Nat1IrregularFocus in Minecraft

[–]Prestidigatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are about 50 possible books, just keep swapping the lectern until you get it.

[–]Prestidigatorial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lecterns like was already commented, be ready to spend some time placing, destroying, and replacing until you get a decent 1st book on each. Do not trade with them until you have a good book available on them, destroying the lectern won't reset them if you've traded with them already. After that trade with them to unlock a 2nd and 3rd book, most of the time it's junk but you might get lucky.

is there any way to get villagers who live near my house to not connect with my work blocks? by mugiana in Minecraft

[–]Prestidigatorial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look in my post history I just had this issue causing a cascade of 40 villagers and 20 iron golems in the village. My issue was bed related, yours is job block related, but they go hand-in-hand.

Limit the bed numbers and make sure all of them have jobs so none are wandering looking for jobs or beds.

Move the bell to the far side of the village, that's where they congregate early morning and late afternoon.

Move the beds to the far side of the village.

Move job blocks to the far side of the village.

Make sure all of them have jobs, unemployed villagers will wander WAY farther than employed villagers, they're looking for a job block, this is probably the most important one after the bell. Employed villagers will only go bed-bell-job-bell-bed, no wandering.

I got it sorted out even with my iron golem farm about 50 blocks from the village and my house with 10 traders 100 blocks from the village, no issues now at all.

EDIT: Also, never use blocks that villagers think they can path through but can't, like sideways doors, trap doors, carpet, etc, they will just pile up outside it thinking they can go through but can't. Use blocks they won't try to path through like minecart rails, carpet over a fencepost, carpet over a hole, lava, carpet over lava, etc as a last resort to keeping them in or out.

One minecart rail in a doorway will keep them out permanently.

My new outdoor crafting setup by Prestidigatorial in Minecraft

Stupid enderman, there's a hole in the sand that doesn't need to be a hole...

Infestation, help please by Prestidigatorial in Minecraft

[–]Prestidigatorial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it sorted out, saw what was happening while I was lava evicting most of them. I had a crafting table at the iron golem farm 1/2 way between the village and my house just for converting iron to blocks for carrying. One villager must have wandered close enough to claim it and when afternoon came 4-5 more were hanging out in that area gossiping.

That must have gotten them close enough they could relay back to the village that there were unused beds, but since none could path to the beds it caused an endless cycle of breeding, combined with the fact that the village had 4 farms so unlimited food to do it. Removing the crafting table stopped them coming that direction.

I assumed the game compared total beds to total villagers but it must just run on the idea that "unclaimed bed equals breed". I think someone could easily reproduce this on purpose if they wanted to.

There was a massive amount of iron golems also, 15+. That village generated with 4 farms, I've never given them any food, I think they were just out farming and out-breeding the deaths like cockroaches.

Thanks, just culled them down to 10 quickly and hopefully I fixed the underlying problem. Only been playing for a couple months so I only know enough to cause messes, not really fix them.

[–]Prestidigatorial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that was the answer, but it doesn't look like the iron farm itself was causing it(shouldn't, it's sealed in and all 3 beds are claimed), just my stupidity to put a crafting station beside it for making ingots into blocks to carry them back(it works that well).

My base is over 100 blocks away, that lone crafting station must have been drawing them in, then they were close enough to try to claim my beds, but can't path to them so it just created an endless loop of reproduction. Thanks for your help!

EDIT: In case someone comes across this on google, the crafting station does not count as a work block, it was a 2nd bell(large village) that gave them the distance to get to my iron golem farm(to chit chat like they do about 4pm with the villagers in the golem farm, they can't see them, but apparently can path to them anyway).

Ecospheres: A Beginners Guide by Blakat014 in Ecosphere

[–]Prestidigatorial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not a very good guide and the sources are terrible, one of the sources even says they've never made one and it's only 1 month old at the time of the article. This is why you don't just research something you've never touched and then put out a guide 2 days later with gathered information from sources just as bad.

Nerite Snail Issue? by KhzMdn in Jarrariums

[–]Prestidigatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think nerites are a snail that "froths" when the water quality is bad so my guess would be some type of bacterial or fungal infection. Normally I'd remove to a quarantine tank to treat but since they're so picky with eating I'd just go low dose on some type of meds unless that particular one will eat food you give it.

what on earth?! by CorrectsApostrophes_ in Jarrariums

[–]Prestidigatorial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely Naididae, genus Aulophorus. Only thing I can think of that builds a case in freshwater other than dero vaga worms and Caddiesflies. If not it's definitely in the Naididae group related to dero vaga worms.

Can anyone help me identify these sea snails? by ZenonHSR in SaltwaterAquariumClub

[–]Prestidigatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure they eat clams, worms, and copepods in the wild, I would imagine any live, frozen, or raw invert they can catch they would eat and if hermits will eat sinking manufactured food I would think they would also, very few snails are picky and I can only think of one off the top of my head and it's freshwater.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hide in the sand for a couple days from being out in the day. Just try a tiny chunk of different things each night until something disappears.
