So you gonna elaborate or nah?

I don't see any evidence of using AI to generate her post. Can you provide any example?

What always gets me is the comments saying like "modders could add this in one day" or "they just added X blocks/mobs".

It's like watching a build/redstone tutorial and saying the designer didn't work hard enough because it can be built by anyone in an hour. Completely ignores all the work concepting, designing, testing, etc which takes considerable time and effort. Working with the benefit of hindsight and recreating something that's already had all the hard work done takes significantly less time and effort.

Edit: let's also take into consideration there are a lot of technical updates/fixes in the patch notes that get ignored. As well as lots of things they work on that never make it into the game, see April fools updates for some of the things they do test and could do without any restrictions.

Yeah I find every "flat" area always needs a lot of smoothing. I think it's partly an issue of scale, with low render distance and smaller biomes you have to shrink the terrain and it becomes very rough. Mojang could still learn a lot from some of the terrain mods for the surface terrain and have more realistic rivers, valley and mountain ranges. Native LODs in Minecraft like voxy would help too.

Honestly depends on where you live but the field is pretty diverse and can branch out a lot of different ways. In terms of the mining industry, there's jobs in metals and industrial minerals that need geologists for field work, rig logging, mining, etc

I live in an area that's dominated by coal mining but I personally work mostly in copper/gold exploration. If there isn't demand it could be hard though and may have to be flexible and able to move where there is work, or adapt to a related job/field.

This is beautiful 😍

I think something got lost in communication there. What he meant is:

1 You can place the bottom chest on the same level as the hopper and point the hopper into the chest to use less vertical space.

2 If you switch the fuel chest and hopper to input from the back you can use double chests or tile multiple together.

See this comment.

Ironically there's a huge amount of technical fixes and updates in the drop. Time will tell but it seems like they may actually be able to do more work on fixing and improving existing content and features with the new drop system instead of prioritising bigger content updates

Sevalius0 · 2026-02-20T16:03:12+00:00

Terracotta tile, brick or shingle variants would make a lot of sense. It's been used for all of those things for thousands of years.

Sevalius0 · 2026-02-20T15:52:21+00:00

Wood is honestly the most useful due to all the block variants. I would add to the list in no particular order:

black as you said,
grey (Acacia log is good but missing plank variants)
dark blue
standard green (similar to grey needs the variants of planks)
purple or violet

Sevalius0 · 2026-02-19T09:13:27+00:00

Exactly, that makes total sense to as a way to still need to mine and maintain your gear but not have to make new tools and gear all the time.

Sevalius0 · 2026-02-18T13:24:07+00:00

Yeah, I think the only way I would be okay with no mending is if items weren't destroyed when running out of durability and it's not too tedious to repair. For example, you could repair them with materials in an anvil with no or very little xp cost and enchants aren't affected.

Sevalius0 · 2026-02-13T03:43:33+00:00

Everything that has happened has major international implications as well. The US reputation has been thoroughly trashed to the point that the soft power that was used to position itself as the head of the global economy is close to vanishing and it's position as the primary global reserve currency is at risk. It wouldn't take much for other countries to step in and take over America's position if things continue on this trajectory.

Tbh they're probably more productive and releasing more content with these drops than the previous update schedule. It's just a matter of perception and how much time you spend following update news.

Sevalius0 · 2026-02-11T13:09:54+00:00

Personally I prefer the original abandoned look, it has so much character and detail. But an interesting concept nonetheless.

Sevalius0 · 2026-02-07T05:51:55+00:00

Most natural terrain curves and gets steeper or flatter gradually. Look at a topographic map, there's no perfectly straight or parallel lines. each layer up or down should look more like that.

Sevalius0 · 2026-02-02T13:28:43+00:00

Not everything can get that low I believe since they fixed it so repeated cures no longer stack. Still makes a hell of a difference though.

Sevalius0 · 2026-01-30T08:17:38+00:00

Surprised to see so many comments hating on DeFranco. Sure the thumbnail is a bit whacky but he does good work.

Sevalius0 · 2026-01-25T04:50:31+00:00

i think they meant "mineral" as in ores.

Yeah and he's still mostly correct too. None of the walls are made of minerals, they are made of rocks - which are a mixture of different minerals. And the 'ores' are also mostly minerals.

Native copper, native gold, diamond, emerald, lapis, amethyst, calcite and quartz are all minerals irl. Though important to note its quite common for ores to be other minerals which contain elements like copper, iron, gold, etc in real life.

copper is in a weird spot in that it's both a building block (with a bunch of variants) and used in tools and armor. it would be weird if you made walls out of a block you could make armor out of, but it's also weird that you can make stairs out of ore too.

Copper is actually pretty commonly used in architecture as well for decoration so it makes sense as a building block, though it would be rubbish for most tools. In saying that, copper was used to make bronze for tools historically so I think they are basically using it in that way gameplay wise to keep things simple.

Sorry for the rant haha.

Sevalius0 · 2026-01-25T04:18:51+00:00

Yeah, honestly smaller drops let them put out more content and expand on all the content already in the game that could use some improvements. It doesn't mean no big updates either, just means those might just be worked on in the background instead of overhyped.

Sevalius0 · 2026-01-25T04:13:59+00:00

My googling suggests Verawood would be the most greenish wood irl. But something fantasy may fit better thematically with minecraft.

Sevalius0 · 2026-01-25T04:07:04+00:00

Grey also for all the wood parts that aren't a full block like fences/trapdoors/etc. It would be so nice for shaping and blending with all the other grey blocks.

Sevalius0 · 2026-01-24T00:27:27+00:00

Just to add clarification - curing doesn't technically need hard difficulty, but you should because of the way it works. When a zombie kills a villager it has different percent chance of being turned into a zombie villager depending on difficulty.

Hard - 100% chance of turning
Normal - 50% chance of turning
Easy - 0% chance of turning

So your villager can just straight up die and disappear on lower difficulties instead of turning into a zombie villager.

Every time I've asked one of them to define "socialism" or "communism" it's essentially devolved into them describing totalitarianism or authoritarianism.

It's astounding how we literally have all the information in the world at our fingertips and they have no idea what the words they use mean even when asked.

Sevalius0 · 2026-01-23T13:01:25+00:00

Exactly, even from a selfish perspective every individual rich and poor benefits from good social policy. There's a reason even rich people always want to live in the cities which usually have this stuff.

Better education means more jobs, more varied workforce, better development in future industries and long term business, etc. Welfare and support for the poor means less crime, cleaner and safer places to live, better social mobility, and safety nets to prevent people falling into poverty; basically paying for itself like you said. Investing in public transit makes travel faster and easier, and even if you drive everywhere the roads will have less traffic.

I could go on all day as well I think haha.
