  • I apologize for the late response, I guess I missed this before.

    Yeah, I did mean with a datapack. Structure blocks have a limitation of only being able to save a 48x48 cube in a single file, and structures themselves have a hard limit at 128 blocks across. Jigsaws, or structure files connected in a chain, can only extend to 20 (up from 7 in previous versions).

    Many vanilla structures also have hardcoded features inaccessible to datapack creators. Mineshaft chains, Woodland Mansion exterior, & Nether Fortress support pillars would all be impossible for me to implement given the tools.

    I'm planning on moving to "actual" modding eventually, but for now, these limitations actually breed creative problem solving! Sometimes an idea that I would've never explored is given life because of the rules I have to follow.

  • Fax no printer

  • They both virtue signal towards different sides on that specific topic. But in their broader histories, they both just talk without research and bully random individuals for little reason. They both preach leftist politics yet choose to take from the less fortunate whenever they can.

  • Fax no printer

  • Look into what Hasan says VS how he acts. He preaches socialism but steals money from other content creators constantly, as one example. He's entirely two-side and just as bad as H3.

  • At least he had alcohol! At least he had a wife to leave! At least he had suicidal thoughts! Imagine being that upset at a guy turning his life around from the brink of suicide.

  • Just because the variables are different doesn't mean you can't find a correct answer. There are no two situations that are the exact same. The comic is just a success story for motivation.. is it really that deep? Pessimism must be exhausting.

  • For every vanilla Minecraft structure to be entirely replicable with datapacks. Most of the structures in the game would be impossible for me to make because they use hardcoded methods I don't have access to.

    That, or to be hired :p

  • There's so many, it's hard to list! I think I'll break it into categories...

    Overall game changing mechanics: Simple Voice Chat
    Reason: This mod shook up how I play Minecraft more than any other. It is a totally different multiplayer experience, and I struggle to play on servers that don't use it!

    Visuals: Distant Horizons
    Reason: Completely changes the scale of the Minecraft world and makes coordinates a thing of the past. It's humbling to be able to see your entire world at once.

    Difficulty: True Darkness
    Reason: Not being able to see in complete darkness makes caving and nighttime challenging and terrifying! Combined well with a mod that illuminates the area around you when you're holding a torch.

    World Generation: Continents
    Reason: This may be an unpopular pick, but it makes each world feel so much more unique. Oceans in vanilla are pockets of water surrounded by land. This is the opposite of that!

    Structures: Recurrent Complex
    Reason: I think this is what got me into designing structures in the first place. Some of the options it gives developers are still superior to the official tools, a decade later!

    As for my own mods, they're all too close to my heart to pick a favorite. Right now, I think the one that I'm the most proud of from a technical standpoint is Revamped Shipwrecks.

    I would love to make an End dimension mod! Unfortunately, I'm limited by my coding knowledge and just use the tools. provided to me by Mojang, so I'm unable to create something that would fit my standard. One day though! Fingers crossed (:

    Great questions!

    I am the developer of multiple decently popular Minecraft structure mods, AMA!

    Crossposted from here

    I created Wabi-Sabi Structures, Unwrecked Ships, Revamped Shipwrecks, and Pale Formations. I've been developing mods as a hobby since July 2022, and playing Minecraft consistently since 2012. Ask me anything!

    Overcomplicating Minecraft Shipwrecks for absolutely no reason

    Hey folks, I'm a datapack/mod creator and I thought you people would be interested in a project I created, given how techy Lemmy is. I "revamped" the Minecraft Shipwreck structure to have randomized sections.

    The issue with the Shipwreck structure is their diversity, or rather, lack thereof. Each of the 8 possible woodtype combinations "only" have 20 different variants. Definitely nothing to sneeze at, but after playing for a few years, they get a little samey. There are 8 right-side up variants, 6 that are upside-down, and 6 on their side (tangent, but did you know vanilla sideways shipwrecks can exclusively be laying on their left side!? Try seeing them the same ever again I dare you). Half of these variants are also just slightly more degraded versions of the other half, which brings us to a total of 10 unique exploration experiences.

    Here are the vanilla shipwreck variants:

    Lemmy disproves the stereotype that Germans lack a sense of humor

    A solid 30% of posts in my feed are German memes. I don't understand the language, but I love the memes that I can't read.

    Looking for a communiry for the show Lost

    I haven't been able to come by any, has anyone seen one? I'm a huge fan of the show and it's one of the things I miss about Reddit :/
