Profanity? NO NO. I love using it, but I'm a grown up. There's kids here. Now, I think we could have a system with a self-censored asterisk instead of any intended profanity. Like: "oh *, I won't do that!".

BUMping? NO NO. It makes no sense, cause then everybody is doing it, then it's like Alvoria said. Your post ends up buried anyway, because everybody is bumping. Wanna bump your post? Find something meaningful to add to it. Otherwise NO.

Just leave the rules the way they are. Not all sections are created equal.

It's just facing a vindicator in a tighter area, backed by what become zombie piglins.

YES!

Honestly, I believe they should spawn just like any other mob (that is - more of them spawn when you get near a valid location). Making them spawn on structure generation makes it so that there is a limited number of piglin brutes, which means that you could simply kill them all and then go straight back to exploitive bastion looting. I thought the whole point of having the brutes was to cut down on the number of people that just walk into a bastion, place down a hopper, and enjoy tons of valuable loot at no real cost. As long as to don't anger the piglins, there is almost no challenge at all in looting a bastion (aside from the typical lava hazard and occasional magma cube fight). I like how they added a chance for a chest to spawn on gilded Blackstone, but that chance should be a guarantee, and the piglins should also be angered when you move it with a piston. Also, when you explode TNT inside a bastion, the piglins should become angry at the owner of that TNT block. That way, people will not be able to loot ANY of the chests without activating a piglin fight, and they will become adequate guardians of the bastion.

THIS.

Yup, I totally agree. I don't see the point in non-renewable mobs, really...

This.

Also piglin brutes are really not valuable, just vindicators basically and they make peaceful bastion restoration/exploration impossible.

The value is the fun of facing them in combat...

I agree with OP. But not instead. They should be both. So you want do a contraption, with signals and etc to blow the TNT? Use Redstone. You want to put a TNT on the ground and make a fuse so you can light it from safety? Use gunpowder, 1 per block, but it will be consumed by the fire and lost. I think it's a great suggestion.

I'm so excited for this new height limit, so cool!

The Wiki first.

Obscure things or things I don't know the name of, usually just concepts, I Google.

Then ask here in the forums. Or search the forums first, but the search function is crap so that usually doesn't give useful results.

Discord servers are kinda on the same level as wikis for me, as not all mods have a wiki at all or only have one for an outdated version, or only have one that's incomplete/vague and doesn't have the info I'm looking for. People like to show off their stuff, they like to talk about it, and they like asking/answering questions.

For bug-stuff, most mods have a Git repository and bugtracker so I'll go there first. Sometimes, particularly in the case of when mods are first arriving to a new minecraft version, the curseforge comments section can be helpful in determining if a bug is really a bug (and if it's been fixed or not) or I'm just unlucky/doing stuff wrongly.

Some things are either simple to test yourself or are so way off in the weeds that nobody's ever thought to check it out. For example, waterlogged blocks can become infinite springs but the water you pull from a waterlogged-block infinite spring cannot be put back into the infinite spring the way you can with an old-fashioned water-source infinite spring.

Update: I sorted it out so I thought I'd share exactly how (I can't be the only person wishing they could do this).

I basically followed Hexalobular's general advice but had to hunt down the details. I created two hopper clocks using the method illustrated here:

For me, placing exactly 2 items in the second clock works great. It rains for about five minutes and is clear for about 12. If you want less rain, you can tweak this by adding one item at a time to the second clock. I then enabled cheats, switched to creative mode and gave myself a command block. I placed that right next to the redstone block in the second hopper timer.

After that I followed the instructions here to keep the message from going off every time the weather changed (as that can be immersion-breaking, the same reason I didn't want to just download a mod for switching the rain on and off manually). Start at 4:22.

Here's hoping this well help other people in the future!

One account on one computer is not distribution or copying that is sharing, and this kind of sharing is not violating any rights or rules.

One thing I'm curious about is how the Wiki is allowed to host game jars on sites like Mediafire; for example, this is one of the download links on their Minecraft 2.0 page:

https://www.mediafire.com/?we3y7ysly1cb9si

Also, if Mojang is searching for "lost" versions to add to the launcher they seem to have forgotten about this archive, which says it was made by Mojang (or maybe the uploaded just added that to indicate that Mojang made them) and includes most of the Indev versions which are not in the launcher (all of the Indev versions marked as "Unavailable in the launcher, but archived elsewhere" link to this archive); there are also links to other archives for pre-Classic to Beta:

https://archive.org/details/Minecraft-JE-Indev

However, they do not seem to include server jars (the description only mentions clients). You may still be able to find them on old archived versions of Minecraft.net, with consistent archives going back to early 2010 (any pages and their downloads can be archived as long as the site allows it and the media type is achieved):

Last time I recalled, it wasn't about a Jurassic Park mod or digging up for weird looking parts.

All popular Minecraft Youtubers that talk about the 1.17 update feels like they are doing it because of a sponsorship. It feels like a biased video about the update because of a sponsorship contract is preventing them from saying critical/negative things.

I hate the spikes, the bundles, the stupid telescope, the archaeology stuff, and new pots. They feel like things you would easily find in modded Minecraft from 1.8.

• Spikes: I would expect 3D spikes or something, but no, instead we have 2D spikes just like how plants are presented. I hate how thick they are and feel like a total eye-sore.
• Bundles: They have the exact same functionality as shulker except worse. The main problem I have with this is the UI of it, instead of seeing the exact number or what items that are inside it, you just get a blob of items and manually have to count them.
• Telescope: We never needed and we still never needed it. I feel like it is equivalent to clocks, they are worthless other than to have them on a item frame for decoration.
• Archaeology stuff: Why would we need this in a update? This is straight up feels like it is from a archaeology/Jurassic Park mod!! There is no purpose of this stupid new feature other than getting expensive items from dirt/gravel OR being able to create a pot.
• Pots: This feels like a custom block that a map developer would make for their map. It's cool I guess? But I find it still very dumb.

Also is it me or does it seem there will be a BIG performance problem?? The brushes for example, it feels like it turns dirt/gravel/etc into snow, where there are multiple layers of something. I feel like if there is too many of these different layer blocks it will have a performance problem.

Currently you either have to install a mod (which is not ideal if you want to play vanilla) or use some very cumbersome methods involving nether portals to keep remote chunks loaded.

This makes things like long distance railroads to transport items not worth building. You are also forced to AFK at farms instead of being able to play elsewhere while resources are produced.

I would personally like to see a simpler way to keep chunks loaded added to SINGLEPLAYER Minecraft.

Perhaps an idea would be to have the furnace minecart load chunks around it as long as it is fueled. This behaviour would be optional (and disabled by default) in multiplayer minecraft for performance reasons. But we should definitely have this option if we want to use it in our single player world. This would open up a world of new possibilities!

What do you think?
