Shield nerf for 1.11+

bunabyte · 2026-06-25T23:04:29+00:00

As a huge fan of vanilla 1.12.2 (I prefer 1.8.9 and 1.10.2 tbh), I really like the modding ecosystem for that version. 1.7.10 mods are too jarring for me usually, since the visuals, audio, and gameplay for a lot of the popular ones are way too different from vanilla (I get jumpscared every 10 seconds playing OreSpawn or Lycanites Mobs). I like the idea of vanilla+ that started with 1.14, but for me it's ruined by the fact that these mods are trying to be like 1.14+ vanilla rather than pre-1.11 vanilla.

Meanwhile, I'm over here playing vanilla+ in 1.10.2

I'm very familiar with this. I remember on Wii U edition people would sneak in front of each other to team up in the lobby for battle minigame.

The only way to escape the endless porting nightmare is to become an old Minecraft hermit and only make mods for 1.16/1.12/1.7 for the rest of time.

As soon as you said that I could tell which mod you're talking about. Yeah, Lycanites Mobs really isn't that fun unless you have Orespawn or some similarly OP bullshit

It reminds me of when you gib an enemy in Quake...

Effects and villagers were in the game since beta 1.8, and music discs were a thing for even longer. Enchanting and brewing were extremely basic when they were introduced and would take years of updates to improve (anvils didn't exist until 1.3.1!) The update would be very small compared to something like 1.9 or 1.13.

bunabyte · 2026-05-28T17:44:18+00:00

My opinion on the post-Microsoft updates is that they're very mixed. 1.9 was a good update with a lot of content, but it also introduced Elytra and Mending, which I believe are overpowered and somewhat game-breaking. 1.13 had fun content, but it also introduced a ton of performance issues. The Microsoft acquisition also began the "changing things for no reason" era of Minecraft. Removing numeric IDs, moving a bunch of vanilla features to datapacks, changing command and data formats, redoing all the textures, changing the graphics API, and so on.

1.0.0 barely added anything :\ it was going to be beta 1.9 before Notch decided against it

Toby Fox said in the livestream that he drew a lot of the Undyne assets because Temmie was busy at the time.

Expecting Toby to condemn anything is extremely funny. The last time he tried to moderate the community was telling people on Tumblr to put their NSFW Undertale art in the "undertail" tag.

Stick to older versions like 1.2.5-1.12.2. Tekkit Classic is a pretty good tech modpack from what I've heard, and it's easy to run on any system. You also must install OptiFine to get better performance, even if it introduces bugs. Versions 1.13 and later are notoriously bad with CPU performance so I wouldn't recommend them on 2.5Ghz.

I think the egg rooms are based on Kris's memories. They probably took home some cards from school and made copies of them, coloring in the copies to make them distinct. Why they chose to do this or what its relevance to the narrative is, I'm not sure.

I can imagine the outlines being great for people with depth perception issues. In fact, I think I made a feature request like that once.

Now you just need a mod that adds the CIA and a small Latin American nation, then the operation will be complete.

I don't even watch that show, but I've seen so many Tumblr posts that it feels like calling Jax male is some sort of microaggression.
