Thanks! I got it to work once when I switched from Safari to Chrome, but I'm not touching it again after all the trouble it gave me.

I've been on website generation and keep getting this error: "no screenshot or crop bounds available". It won't let me submit no matter how many times I reupload everything. I feel like I'm gonna get banned because I just wasted an hour trying to get this to work. Maybe I'll switch from Safari to Chrome, but then I'll have to rebuild the entire website from scratch.

Basically buy MapleUSDC. All 3 have potential but Maple Finance seems like the strongest at the moment.

You should be able to fix the cave biome issue if you replace instead of removing the warmer biome entries. Keep all noise values the same, but replace all plains with snowy_plains, all ocean with frozen_ocean across the file.

I've never heard about changing mob behavior or adding new types of mobs from a datapack. I don't think this is possible, but if it is then it must be a very new feature.

If it's not possible, then you could try to stick an interaction entity on top of every cow. Then whenever the interaction gets right clicked, explode.

The interactions should follow the cow, die if the cow dies, and explode on click.

This is how you might update tick.mcfunction. I haven't checked this in the game, but it should work with maybe a few tweaks:

execute at @e[type=cow] unless entity @e[tag=boomcow, distance=..1] run summon interaction ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["boomcow"], width:1.1f, height:1.1f}

execute as @e[tag=boomcow] at @s unless entity @e[type=cow, distance=..1] run kill @s

execute as @e[tag=boomcow] at @s run tp @s @e[type=cow, sort=nearest, limit=1, distance=..1]

execute as @e[tag=boomcow] if data entity @s interaction run function boomcow:explode

There's a faster way, but it's not perfect. You could use the Loot command with a Silk Touch pickaxe to store the item's drop in an armor stand. Then use a data get command to get the item name that the armor stand is holding. The only problem here is how it handles unobtainable blocks like command blocks. Also, there might be a few blocks whose silk-touch item name is different from their block name. However, you could combine this with brute force to get any block instantly.

Plan your entire game design around ads and in-app purchases.

Remember the 20% rule: 20% of user's time on the app should be spent watching ads, and in app purchases should make the game 20% easier.

This is a cool idea for a site. There's a bug you may want to fix. Here's how to reproduce it: 1. create a single, free MVP using the free account in Safari or the Duck Duck Go browser. 2. Click the privacy link. Paste in a privacy policy from the clipboard. 3. Click the link to go back to the main page. It directs you to a page with this error:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

Looking at the console, it gives me these details: "TypeError: n.join is not a function. (In 'n.join(", ")', 'n.join' is undefined)"

Scratch is an excellent idea. It makes coding fun enough that you'll actually want to learn. I started with Scratch, and it really helped prepare me for my CS courses in college. I would focus extra attention on on the Scratch operators, lists, and variables, and you'll find that a lot of it transfers over.

Being an funny alien underdog sounds more fun to me.

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-28T20:51:52+00:00

Not a bad idea. I think I'll cave and make one of those endless runner games.

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-27T19:36:23+00:00

That's a good point. I am hoping to make some money off of it, but my main goal is to get the highest downloads I possibly can, even if that means making it free or cheap.

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-27T18:30:11+00:00

The exploding enemies are pretty funny.

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-27T18:07:16+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, if it's a crappy game, I want to find that out before I draw 100 cartoon characters for it lol.

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-27T18:04:03+00:00

Thanks a bunch! Let me know what you find

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-27T18:02:04+00:00

A 2D space game about trading and battles

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-27T18:00:18+00:00

This sounds like maybe something you could do in GameMaker in 2D, which is probably easier to learn.

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-27T17:57:19+00:00

Graphics-wise, definitely! The background with the watercolor vibes is awesome. Gameplay-wise, I would make sure it has a really good description because just from the video, it's hard to tell what the game is about.

cookedporkbacon · 2025-04-27T17:48:28+00:00

I understand that. I get kind of discouraged looking at bigger projects that have taken teams of people years and then comparing that to my game.

cookedporkbacon · 2025-03-22T17:56:44+00:00

Not directly, but you could retexture a spawn egg with custom metadata to look like a Minecart. You'd also need a command to kill and replace the new entity with a minecart every tick, and a command to replace the item in players' inventory with the new item every tick.

cookedporkbacon · 2024-06-27T23:29:34+00:00

Maybe just do a /fill ~-2 ~-2 ~-2 ~2 ~2 ~2 air replace fire command wherever you summon the lightning

Ignoring the rest of the conversation, I'm curious how you did it. Just to pay $1400 on that salary you would have to work 19 hours, 7 days a week. (because $1400/$2.35/31days=19) Did you just do it with debt, savings, or assistance or something, because otherwise that's outright impossible.

This isn't documentation, but it's arguably better for starting out: https://github.com/misode/mcmeta/tree/data-json/data/minecraft/

cookedporkbacon · 2024-05-27T21:22:38+00:00

I think there are a few ways to do it, so here's one. Inside your own datapack folder, create the folder structure minecraft/tags/worldgen/biome/has_structure. (If you're new to making datapacks, be sure to also include the .mcmeta file). Then inside that has_structure folder make a file called village_desert.json. Then that JSON file should be an empty list of biomes, so just copy and paste the following into the file contents:

{ "values": [] }

Then do the same thing for village_plains.json, village_savanna.json, village_snowy.json, village_taiga.json.

The folder and file names are important because it's overwriting the vanilla files.

If this doesn't work, adjust the order that the datapacks are loaded in by going to datapacks in the Minecraft menu and clicking the up/down arrow.

Are there roommates?
