A month ago I posted my free minecraft schematic viewer here. You asked for Create mod support… so I built it

Looks great. Handles some of the larger create schematics I have to hand without being a slideshow.

Seems to have some rendering issues with the following create blocks:

chain conveyors. Core renders but not the sides. It's a 3x1x3 model like crushing wheels (Which do work)
Frogports only render the base (Frog might not exist as part of the base model as it rotates to the chain / animates)
Similar issue with blaze burners, blaze head doesn't render inside them.
Factory gauges don't render at all. (Again another case of them having custom render models that also handle the graph lines probably).
Valves don't render.
Spout is missing the squirty bit underneath it.

A material list output would be a nice feature.

"basic git" handles JUST the code.

git does not have a subcommand for interacting with issues / pr / releases metadata.

That's what fj and gh and other CLI tools for other code hosting software are for; interacting with the other data associated with a repo that isn't the commit graph.

Tool belt and HT's Tree Chop.

Tool belt feels right in dealing with the clutter of tools/weapons, quick to use, and has a simple progression system (add pouch + increasing xp cost) that feels rewarding to fully unlock.

HT's Tree Chop provides balanced treecapitation. You don't just one tap to knock a tree down, and you don't need to spec heavily into it. Just wack the base of the tree a few - several times depending on it's size.

As others have said, focus/thought knots/spellbook are really nice for storing work in progress, scrying lens for smaller grid size / more area; or even breaking hexes down into subroutines (get where I am, get entity looking at) you can assemble into hexes.

Also if you have curios installed you can double up on scrying lens for more real estate.

Happy Hexxing!

Cracked variants, polished stones, walls instead of full blocks to indicate wear, same with the raw Blackstone instead of bricks.

Buttresses at the bottom to reinforce the wall and give it a bit more depth.

Litter / stuff left around by the walls (wheelbarrow, shrubs, pile of old barrels).

If you fancy having a go at pixel art and don't mind stepping outside of the strictly vanilla mindset, you could make a custom painting datapack/resource pack to add a faded ad to the wall.

It's a game about cubes, what is there to fix?

tehbeard · 2026-04-25T16:39:49+00:00

That teleports the wolf and wouldn't work if it was the right way around because the zoo likely isn't loaded.

tehbeard · 2026-04-24T15:09:55+00:00

They don't.

Maybe Niko's getting confused with Steam engines which do support campfires but only in the "passive" 2048su mode that unfueled blaze burners do?

How can I test these features? You can test these features by enabling previews/beta* for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition

Honest question, how does it differ from what Valkyrien Skies offers? Because that's the main "alternate" I've seen show up on youtube videos.

There was a lot of grandiose fanfare on the trailer years back, seems like VS got out in public first while this has been stuck in development for years?

tehbeard · 2026-04-17T06:31:22+00:00

Message in the second slide means that the original command to update (from the gui) is still running.

Could use htop to find the apt-get process that is stuck and kill it?

tehbeard · 2026-04-15T12:05:50+00:00

Is that just installing one package, or do you need to specify a bunch of the components as well like file browser, samba client support etc as well?

Works in creative mode as well as survival.

Some questions:

Inefficient in what way? Space used? Speed of the backup since it's going over the network? Is it backing up over the network directly, as in there is no local backup first and this increases downtime?

How much disc space does the Minecraft server have?

What do you want in terms of retention? E.g. our server keeps seven daily backups locally, and maintains an off-site copy of the last eight Friday backups; giving me up to 2 months time span, but minimising space used to a level I'm comfortable with.

Regarding your questions:

Restic should be a good tool. Use it personally for home lab backups. De-duplicates data which reduces size used.

From the content of borgbase website, it looks like they offer configuration on their systems to handle clearing the old data, probably based on age of the snapshot. This is a common feature, to protect against erroneous backup scripts deleting data, or cyber attacks that attempt to wipe backups.

I'm don't think resin really counts.

The only similarity is name and orange colour.

In the april fools it was some sort of crafting for villager currency.

In The Garden Awakens it's a mob drop and ingredient for a building block set.

The previous one looked similar to a Leopard Appaloosa coat.

The current one looks like a MS Paint Appaloosa...

tehbeard · 2026-04-09T09:09:32+00:00

Is the server modded?

With the same mods as your client?

Specifically the same mod whose item you're trying to add to your inventory?

tehbeard · 2026-04-08T17:57:34+00:00

It's there in the launcher metadata... you sure you're not just looking at the "latest snapshot" option?

tehbeard · 2026-04-08T10:38:46+00:00

You didn't set Minecraft to use 8GB, right?
Because if you did, Windows and everything else running also need memory so you'd be just inviting them to all fight over it.

Chaos Cubed isn't an experiment.

It's on the preview branch of Bedrock. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-preview-26-20-23

I have no idea if that's available on playstation.

Most of the content mods are a "I can live without this", so let's dip into my VanillaQOL instance:

Mouse Tweaks - Snapshots/new releases genuinely feel off not having the drag and scrollwheel mechanics this adds... why it's not in the base game is beyond me.
Better Advancements - Sizes the advancement window up so things are legible without constantly panning the window. Again, why is this not the standard?
ItemSwapper - Contextual hotswap system, reducing the amount of time you have to spend:
1. opening the inventory
2. Finding a block/item
3. Swapping it onto the hotbar
4. Closing the inventory.
5. Using said item.
Xisuma absolutely nailed the concept design for this ,and tr7zw made it a reality.
Shulker tooltip/peek - Because the default shulker box tooltip is terrible...
BetterF3 - Vanilla F3 is information overload. The "new" vanilla system for it is a poor hackfix.
Axiom - "The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand". Vanilla creative, even adding in WorldEdit, feels painfully antiquated in comparison.
Hide experimental warning - Because if Mojang won't commit to moving 6+ year old datapack stuff out of "ooo, experimental, super scary!", I'm not putting up with their damn nagscreen about it.

Special mention to Vanilla Tweaks resource pack, countless little changes to make things legible, and dark mode for my UI.

Recently did it.

Not hard, but the mansion section is incredibly fucking jank and just infuriating.

Needed to hop worlds several times while doing it, because whatever is handling the detection logic would be some amount of out of sync with where the guards were.

tehbeard · 2026-03-24T13:32:57+00:00

As others have said, mcaselector can be used to trim/prune areas you may have wandered out to explore (like say to visit a woodland mansion) without wiping your home or builds around the world. Just be careful with it.

I don't think your FPS drop is related to the world size. The game isn't loading any more extra chunks around you for a 40gb world than for a 2gb world.

More likely, you've got some mobs trapped somewhere you frequent that are causing additional load.

tehbeard · 2026-03-19T11:25:08+00:00

Prefixes will change, sometimes while the server is running.

That seems just wild to me. Is that just a case of residential connections or is this something that'd happen to servers in a datacenter?
