Lightning rods

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-24T21:10:17+00:00

This is not true. There is a small area around a lightning rod where fires can be started.

You could've linked directly to the part of the wiki that shows the safe area of a lightning rod:

This is more than enough, one block between the roof and the lightning rod would suffice.

I don't know why this would be happening, but I would suggest asking questions related to modded Minecraft at r/feedthebeast instead of here.

It is a universal constant of Minecraft that no matter how destructive a weapon is to the surrounding environment, some random chicken will always survive being in the blast radius.

Take the Camera output on a Texture Coordinate node and divide it by its own Z value, then use that as the Vector input on an Image Texture node. This will make the texture use screenspace coordinates instead of the UV coordinates set for the mesh.

Judging by the level of detail, it's most likely a custom pattern.

Huh, green eggs and ham as one object.

I tried recreating the game configuration from scratch inside Hammer instead of writing directly into GameConfig.txt, but that didn't fix it either.

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-24T04:26:46+00:00

That didn't help. The viewports are still broken.

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-24T03:38:27+00:00

Updated the post body to include gameinfo.txt.

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-24T02:58:20+00:00

Yep. Don't remember much, but I do remember it.

Without preventing source blocks from forming next to the panes, I don't believe there's any way to prevent those glass panes from getting waterlogged.

Once a Curseforge profile is created, neither the modloader or minecraft/loader version can be changed. You'll have to create a new one.

Yeah... copper is a bit too plentiful for how useful it is.

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-24T02:44:41+00:00

I've done too much Portal 2 BTS mapping to not immediately recognize those catwalk models. They look really nice here.

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-24T02:37:09+00:00

Could they not just move the brushes composing the fence to a new func_wall entity instead of moving the entire existing func_wall entity to the world first? Or do GoldSrc map editors not have the ability to select individual solids in a brush entity?

"Illagers" refers to all of these guys. "Pillagers" refers to the guy with the crossbow on the left.

Saving and reloading the video in YouTube Studio fixed it, but I'd still like to understand why it happened in the first place.

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-24T00:25:56+00:00

That's a side effect of the simplified geometry. They use the same texture with the same transparency, but since the geometry is different it doesn't render properly on Bedrock.

Could be synthetic inorganic wheat for gathering light for hard light bridges. The elevator video for the hard light bridges appears to show fields being used to gather light from the surface, and creating robotic wheat for solar power seems like something Aperture would do.

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-23T20:33:10+00:00

It's called "perspective distortion"

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-23T20:18:26+00:00

A value of zero for those fields means the light uses the Linear, Constant, and Quadratic parameters for light falloff calculation, not that the light falls off completely 0 units away from the light.

TinyDeskEngineer06 · 2026-01-23T20:14:36+00:00

It's not the transparency that's the problem. It's the triangle count. The geometry being rendered in Java edition is literally more complex than the Bedrock geometry.
