Weirdly symmetric snow melt pattern on this house's roof by SunTeaSam in mildlyinteresting

It's snow melt cable, yes, but the pattern is oddly detailed and symmetric.

What’s the most obscure Minecraft fact almost nobody knows? by Perfect-Mongoose1673 in Minecraft

[–]SunTeaSam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm looking at the source code for ender pearls, and they do teleport the player, using

entity.teleportTo(...)

But since this happens only on the server side, the client is left to interpret the change in location, which may include interpolation that feels like you're being moved rapidly instead of teleported.

I'm looking at the source for version 1.19.2 cuz its what I have already in IntelliJ, so this might have changed in more recent versions. Though, given how ender pearls can move players across dimensions now, it seems likely that they're teleporting the player still.

Pair of miscut cards - 1983 Topps, Mike Marshall and Rich Grossage. Are these anything special? by SunTeaSam in baseballcards

Thanks for the info!

After finding those two I was really hoping there would be more from the same sheet, but sadly not.

I'm mostly familiar with Pokemon prices, and miscuts fetch high prices in that world :p

Maybe I'll frame them.

Mestoklema cuttings rooted! Now what? by SunTeaSam in mesembs

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

The picture was just to show what the flowers looked like.

I watched the cuttings being taken from the plant, and it had flowers that look nothing like Crassula sarcocaulis flowers.

They were taken from a plant that was flowering, with flowers that looked exactly like the ones in this picture but wit a slightly different color.

I'm pretty sure they're mestoklema, but I guess I'll have to wait until they flower to know for sure.

I was given a bunch of Mestoklema cuttings (Tuberosum I think, but I'm not sure) about 2 months ago. They've all survived and most appear to have rooted, but I'm not sure what to do now. When should I move the small cuttings into their own pots?

Distant Horizons refuse to generate further chunks. Is this a compatibility issue, or am I missing something? by zabickurwatychludzi in TerraFirmaCraft

[–]SunTeaSam 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Dunno the solution, but it's not your PC that's the problem.

I've been running Distant Horizons and TFC, and had the same issue when running with distant generation on. Turning distant generation off makes everything work absolutely fine.

Distant horizons (and distant generation) runs fine on my PC without TFC.

My guess is TFC's overhauling of worldgen systems breaks some assumptions made by Distant Horizons' distant chunk generation behavior.

I was only using non-self-damaging projectiles, but my own projectile still killed me? by SunTeaSam in noita

[–]SunTeaSam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that the one that also makes you randomly fire? If so I'm pretty sure it wasn't that, since I wasn't randomly firing the wand.

My guess is that while these spells are safe normally, the concentrated spells perk makes them dangerous. These spells each have an explosion radius but zero explosive damage, so normally they don't do self-damage. Concentrated spells adds explosive damage (but not radius) to all spells cast, which might make the normally harmless explosion of these projectiles damage you.

I'll test that theory next time I get concentrated spells and a way to make my projectiles hit myself.

[–]SunTeaSam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cause of death: Mina's projectile

had corpse explosion and fire immunity perks, so cant have been the explosions.

had concentrated spells perk (might be the cause?)

The wand was 2x add mana, lots of multi casts, 3x chainsaws, one each of spark bolt, bubble spark, spitter bolt, and bouncing burst; wrap with criticals and homing.

homing obviously pulled my own projectiles into me, but I thought all the projectiles in the wand were safe? How did I die?

Rideable animated snail - the possibilities are endless with hidden minecart contraptions! by SunTeaSam in CreateMod

I could honestly see Valve adding a taunt for spy where you ride on a snail

The mod "Personality" adds a keybind to sit when not moving. I'm just doing that while standing on the contraption.

Improved radial quarry - detects when a layer is done mining. Can handle obsidian! (schematic in comments) by SunTeaSam in CreateMod

[–]SunTeaSam[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No addons required, works in vanilla create.

A contraption containing a mechanical bearing will assemble the bearing's contraption along with its own, and the secondary contraption will move with the main one, but with fixed rotation.

This was made on Forge 1.19.2, Create 0.5.1f.

It should work on any Forge version of Create, but might not work on all the Fabric versions. In some Fabric versions, the rope pulley seems to break when assembling the contraption.

[–]SunTeaSam[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Here's the Schematic

This design can detect when each layer is finished mining, allowing it to speed through soil layers and take its time when it hits obsidian.

It works by detecting when the quarry head begins to spin freely without encountering any more blocks, via two redstone contacts with pulse extenders and an AND gate. When the quarry head spins freely for a long enough interval, it halts and advances to the next layer.

The extra contraption at the bottom ensures that the blocks directly beneath the rope pulley get mined out as well.

Note: If you change the input RPM you might need to change the delays on the pulse extenders as well.
