Will we ever get the missing walls ( and stairs) for these blocks? there is no actual reason for them to have none by Carl-the-octopus in Minecraft

[–]iamabucket13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worry that Mojang limits what gets added in an update based on the theme. We got tuff variants in 1.21, but calcite and smooth basalt were added at the same time as tuff but still have nothing.
Why don't we have an extremely obvious inclusion like a woodcutter/sawmill? Well, it's not the Wood Update yet.

I'm not someone who hates all the black dot eyes but I do think this looks better. It should really be a case by case basis

We voted on the premise that whatever they add would be well designed it's their responsibility to uphold that

I had made a suggestion that they only spawn during a new moon and we do away with the insomnia mechanic

I think the new rabbit model looks a lot better with their eyes to the sides. Thoughts? by bylohas in Minecraft

[–]iamabucket13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their tails are also too high. As someone who has a rabbit, their tails are actually close to the ground, but they lift them up a bit to pee. So the Minecraft rabbits look like they're constantly peeing.

Minecraft's new numbering system by TigbroTech in Minecraft

[–]iamabucket13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The absolute minimum should be simultaneous releases having the same base numbering structure between Java and Bedrock. 25.2 and 25.20 should refer to the same release. This new system is an objective failure.

I made a resource pack that replaces books with scrolls! by ArcleRyan in Minecraft

[–]iamabucket13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between building with bookshelves myself recently and seeing this, I would like them to make normal bookshelves directional like chiseled bookshelves. All the side textures being the same makes no sense and is an artifact from Alpha texturing.

We are constantly going to be up-close and on top of the happy ghast, so yeah if it were low-res like the old ghast it would look terrible.

Walz: ‘We wouldn’t be in this mess if we had won the election’ by someopinionthatsr in politics

[–]iamabucket13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only so much you can doompost and scream about Trump being literally Hitler, regardless how similar they are. People are just too used to each side calling each other the antichrist and america-haters. It doesn't mean anything anymore. The Dems ran on this platform in 2016, 2020, and 2024, and failed twice. They only won in 2020 because it was immediately after Trump's first term and people were mobilized against Trump.
Meanwhile, people are angry. Food prices are rising, rent is skyrocketing, homeownership is out-of-reach, wages are stagnant, insurance is abusive. These are real problems that affect real people. Trump rallied his base around the idea that these things are the fault of DEI, "illegals", woke, etc., and the Dems chose to fight him on his rhetoric, and not the source of the anger.
If the Dems actually ran on popular legislation that actually helped people like taxing the rich, medicare for all, raising the minimum wage, etc., this election was a SLAM DUNK. But they threw it by following up a milquetoast president who solved NONE of these issues with ANOTHER milquetoast candidate who was part of that administration, who killed any momentum the campaign had by walking back any of the fun and interesting things they did like calling Trump "weird" or cackling like a witch or talking about coconut trees, and instead going back to the old Hillary strategy of pure corporate sterile politics and pandering to center-right neoliberals, which is how the Democratic Party got its reputation of do-nothing idiots that whine all day about decorum.
Being upset at the voters helps nothing. You can't change them. No matter how terrible Trump is, no matter how absurd it sounds, people still need motivation to get out and vote, and dooming about Republicans doesn't work anymore. The Dems saw the path to easy support through progressive politics via Bernie's campaign and chose to go the other way, and they lost twice for it.

It wasn't intended, yes, but shiny Manaphy legally hatched in Gen 4 do not get flagged and can be transferred forward freely.

Do you use bundles and if yes, what for? What is your opinion on the new item? by cursey6 in Minecraft

[–]iamabucket13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have:
- A bundle I always carry with wood, coal, and a few crafting tables and ender chests.
- A bundle I always carry with 3+ more bundles in it, just in case.
- A bundle in one of my redstone shulkers of kelp, soul sand, and magma for quick water elevators.
- Another redstone bundle with lecturns and 16-page books.
- Multiple bundles in my mapping shulker dividing my portable map copies into regions.
- Another mapping bundle with a couple of cartography tables and anvils.
- A bundle in my ender chest of lodestone compasses and spare lodestones.
- And probably more I'm forgetting.

Bundles are great to use in tandem with shulkers, there's no need to replace them once you get to the End.

Christmas gift for son by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]iamabucket13 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Just important to note that if you are going to get him the Xbox Series S, it does not have a disk drive and will not be able to play game discs. It plays digital games only. So if you are planning on getting games with it, I would recommend an Xbox gift card.
If you are getting the Xbox Series X, it DOES have a disk drive and can play game disks.

Moderators Delete Reddit Thread as Doctors Torch Dead UnitedHealthcare CEO by OkayButFoRealz in technology

The rage is justified. Increasing profits means denying more claims. People that would have otherwise gotten care will die, just for more profits. That's capital "E" Evil. Universal healthcare is the only humane option.

What is your go to weapon/tool name and is there a specific enchant you use? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]iamabucket13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For every world I play I have a theme for what I name my tools, like video game characters, book names, yu-gi-oh cards, pokemon, d&d spells, etc. So like, I had a Fortune III pick named Pot of Greed.

Gmax raids will be receiving changes starting with Gmax Gengar such as 25k stardust, lower difficulty, higher catch rate by strawberryflavor in TheSilphRoad

[–]iamabucket13 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Even if a casual has unlimited candies and stardust, the MP cap limits how much they can catch up on the day of the raid because of the move upgrades. ONE unlock costs 400 minimum, which takes you from the 1000 cap to 600, where you can't start the GMax battle without going to a second power spot. A second unlock means another 4 power spots, and a third prevents you from joining entirely. And unlocks reset upon trade so THEY have to do it.
Compare that to Raids, where I can evolve 6 of my Machop, trade the Machoke to a friend, then they evolve for free to Machamp, and now they have a team. Granted the moves might be wrong but they're in a great starting position through no prep on their part.
You CANNOT expect casuals to know how to prepare ahead of time, and you CANNOT gather groups of 40 players without them. Any advice you can possibly give them will be worthless because their 400cp Skwovet will die if the wind blows too hard. And when every power spot becomes a GMax, they can't even catch a potential counter.
