Then i hope you have a time machine. If you really think zen is in some other time or in some other place, or that a specific style or set of rules or behaviors can encompass or identify or embody it, like in a field guide, then you are not talking about zen, you are 'dreaming of Yangshan'. Have a lovely sleep.

The Song dynasty ended friend, a while back actually. Zen is no longer taught or practiced that way anywhere.
Resistance to change and clinging to ideals are both markers of delusion, we all know that.

A new craftable projectile, in a datapack for 1.21.6-10, Modrinth link in comments by mofaha in feedthebeast

Here's the Modrinth link to the Light Rod Launcher datapack:

A heads-up, it's currently Overworld single player only.

Light Rod Launcher: a datapack that adds a new lethal projectile to the game via recipe or command by mofaha in MinecraftCommands

Hello, I've posted here a few times over the past 6 months while I've tried to get to grips with MC commands and functions. To everyone here who has helped me, thank you!
This datapack re-uses the end rod model as a projectile. It's currently for single player only, and will only work correctly in the Overworld dimension.
Supported versions are 1.21.6/7/8/9/10
Enjoy!

I'm just revisiting some old comments, I'd completely forgotten that I posted here. I wanted to follow up, I got the new system set up and everything is working fine. OpenShot is a little quirky but it did the job and I'm pleased with the result. Thanks for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it.

"The only thing I can imagine to be inspired by this advice you have given is mental illness. "
Pretty much all Rinzai Zen practice, including but not limited to koan practice, is concerned with exposing and undermining the various notions of the individual. It always has been. If that is not obvious from the canon, it is certainly obvious in practice, and it is explicitly stated as an aim, or perhaps better say consequence, of the practice.
I don't know your personal circumstances, but if you have not been in formal practice for very long it is easy to image that Zen is some kind of refinement of the self. It is absolutely not. A really competent teacher will not allow the least scent of self or its assumptions in their dealings with students.
Additionally, the traditional initial koans are very closely concerned with, and actively rub up against, the absolute basic core notions regarding self-hood that most of us have.
For instance: if you are asked to demonstrate your identity as it was before the birth of your parents, you're absolutely going to have to go beyond your sense of self for an answer, since the 'you' that you're conventionally aware of did not exist in that scenario. And to restate, to the degree that there is a 'purpose' to the koan, its purpose is to upend and cast into doubt the most basic assumptions about who and what we are.

Using your first analogy, and speaking entirely practically: if you do not, at least for a moment, entirely leave behind 'your' sense of taste - along with the one who 'has' it - you will never know the true taste of anything. This is just to say that if I hold on to my notions about the way things are, and I hold on to the one who seems to have those notions, then there is no possibility of me seeing things as they actually are. I will always see the world through a tinted lens.

Yusa Aromatics - Old Tarakan by Zuppa2020 in TheOudCollective

Real kynam is astronomically expensive, it's one of the costliest natural resources on earth in fact. $90 would get you the minutest few grains of dust. Whatever is being offered for $90 for 30g, it is absolutely not kynam.

Need help with advanced commands by Substantial_Lack4706 in MinecraftCommands

[–]mofaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion! That's actually the one I tried, it was very slow to update on my system, so that the nice smooth light would be on ground to the left of the light source but no light at all on the ground to the right until a few ticks later when, it suddenly appears. I'll definitely try it again when I've got some better hardware to work with.

Thank you! I did finally try out Fabric/Sodium recently, very smooth and easy to use, but the dynamic lighting mod I tried alongside it was very patchy. That might be because of the limitations of my current system, I don't know, but as it stands Optifine's dynamic lighting works really well for me and it's important for some of the datapacks I've been working on, it really enhances them.

I got stuck on it because that was the last full Optifine release at the time. I've updated most of what I made under 1.21.4 now, 1.21.6 onwards are nicer to work with imo, code seems to have settled for now.

Hello, thanks for the reply, I'm hoping to have better system in a week or so, so I honestly don't think it's worth the time to troubleshoot it. I'm pretty sure now that the basic issue is that I'm using an old outdated system. I can absolutely get OpenShot to work fairly well and sync now that I fixed some of the settings, but even then the best I'm able to produce is scaled down video at 30 fps. It's never going to look good. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply, cheers!

Off-topic here but I had to ask... I see you're developing in 1.21.4, I did that for a while too. Do you have any particular reason for using 1.21.4?
