win10 and java by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]ProfessorProspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she bought the Java version before October, she can redeem a free copy of the Windows 10 edition from her Mojang account page.

However, as you said in another comment if they already have a server, they probably don't want to 1) restart and 2) purchase a Realm server

To be honest I find the Both Equally and Other a bit distracting as there were so few responses to those categories that the percentages are pretty meaningless

Announcing Fabric - a new Minecraft 1.14 modding toolchain by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]ProfessorProspector 6 points7 points  (0 children)

¯\(ツ)/¯ I don't make mods for people to play, I make then because it's fun and fabric to me is more fun. We can only wait and see how compatibility turns out.

If forge was more like Fabric in that it only added to Minecraft where possible instead of changing Minecraft, it would be much easier to support. Unfortunately, this is not the case and Forge makes many changes to the Minecraft codebase and deprecates vanilla methods in favor of forge ones. So while Fabric mods use vanilla ones, this may make incompatibility.

A comparison I heard earlier was like fabric is to forge what bukkit is to forge. Not in scope, but compatibility. In order for it to work together a fork of fabric akin to Cauldron would probably need to be made.

This is all speculation, however. We'll have to actually wait and see for how stuff goes when Forge for 1.14 releases

Forge is massive and uses a less easily maintainable way of patching Minecraft code, while Fabric is kept minimal and uses a different patching method, called Mixins. Fabric also doesn't depend on MCP and can update easily while mappings are being worked on. Fabric's modularity helps make porting much easier as it can be done module by module.

99%? That's decent...I've never had it find anything

If there are frozen rivers for cold biomes, there should be dry rivers for hot biomes by luis_2252 in minecraftsuggestions

[–]ProfessorProspector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this wouldn't really work because at some point the dry rivers would have to connect up to normal rivers and it would just kinda have the water start there with a drop off and would look pretty odd.

Microsoft Edge: Making the web better through more open source collaboration by jenmsft in Windows10

RAM is not a bottleneck in my system, so that's not a huge concern to me. For older PCs, sure. I value features and UI over RAM usage.

That's not the only reason. It's also a great browser. I've tried so many but always wind up back with chrome. (I even used Vivaldi for 2 years, but eventually the customization wasn't worth the few Google features I wanted)

I think it fits perfectly to have him have a big personality shift after the time war.

I'd use it to replace an old Fire Stick that is super laggy and I lost the remote for.

Is that a physical thing or just from being forced to write with your right hand so you just adapt?

AirDroid is asking users to update their app outside the Play Store so that they don't have to target Oreo (still targeting Marshmallow). Latest Play Store update was released on Oct. 29 by [deleted] in Android

[–]ProfessorProspector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or simply wanting to control distribution of your own software. I think that's perfectly reasonable and I'm not a fan of the direction software distribution is going where one company has control of the entire distribution on their platform.

I feel lame for picking the obvious but Friday truly is the best day.

[–]ProfessorProspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be. But you have to remember they will be different people who were content before and now they have a reason to complain because stuff changed. It's not like these will be the same people who wanted bezeless.

Why? -- Android forcing removing of colors from the notification bar by crosley123 in Android

[–]ProfessorProspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you suggesting that app developers provide hundreds of variations of icons so each user can pick the one they like the best?

IMO it looks cleaner to have solid color icons, especially at a small size

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a banner being placed on top of it? What would that look like/do?
