Minecraft Forums

The purpose of this forum section has always been to discuss ideas with each other as a community, it has never been intended as a way to get ideas in front of Mojang. This is just as true now as it was years ago when the forum actually had some small connections with the development team. We aren't going to remove this section of the forums (or any other) due to lack of Mojang engagement with it.

Additionally, we welcome any types of discussion in this section as long as the discussion follows the rules. Some people like to give simple ideas and feedback. Others like to dig down into the nitty-gritty of an idea and discuss if they think it is balanced or technically feasible. Both types of discussion are 100% valid and users are not forced to post one way or another. Nobody is obligated to respond to any or all of the feedback given for an idea. Whether or not a lengthy breakdown of why someone agrees or disagrees with an idea actually makes someone change their mind is also irrelevant, people can reply in whatever style they choose as long as no rules are broken.

Now that I have my little spiel as a moderator regarding some of the side discussion in this thread, I would like to reply to the idea itself.

I think the idea is more technically feasible than some people have said. There's no real reason that the information for the chunks would have to be saved in RAM or anything like that. The use of a temporary folder within the save structure for storing all changes between manual saves would be possible as far as I'm aware.

Basically after the user makes a manual save, all changes that would be written to the main save automatically in the current system would instead be written to a temporary folder, and when the user saves again, those files would be stitched into the real save file. If they quit without saving or the game crashes and is reopened, that temporary file is erased. It may take a bit of time to manually save while the files are combined, especially if you played for a long time between saves, but that's not really an "end of the world" type of scenario, and you could add a popup message or something if the temporary file gets above a specific size saying "Hey it might be a good idea to make a manual save now!"

However, this can already be done in a roundabout way by manually backing up the world before doing anything particularly risky. This was mentioned in the original post. For that reason I personally don't feel like it is needed, it's just a slightly more convenient way to do what can already be done. At the very least I would prefer it to be an option that is disabled by default, it would be a bad idea to force the change on players after over a decade of using autosaves.

What does this mean?

I would do the following:

1. Daylight Detector with redstone attached to it. Then check to see how strong the signal is at 6 AM in game time. Technically I think it would be a signal strength of 7 which actually starts slightly before 6 AM in Minecraft. You could wait until it is a signal of 8 which is a little bit after 6 AM according to the Daylight Detector wiki page.

2. At the end of the signal, place a Command Block that is using the /playsound command to play the sound of choice for all players (@a). Command block should be Unconditional and Impulse.

There is a caveat to this however. Because the Daylight Detector functions based on sky light level, this is affected by game weather. If it is raining or snowing the sky doesn't brighten as quickly, and if it is a thunderstorm it brightens even more slowly. So if either of those weather effects are happening, you will lose a bit of extra day time because the command block will trigger later.

Honestly I would just put a clock in the last slot of my hotbar. Works in all weather, doesn't require you to be in the same chunks as the circuit (or have the circuit in the world's spawn chunks), and only costs a single inventory slow.

I removed the personal email from this suggestion. Also I want to point out that this forum is not owned or managed by Mojang, so they will likely not respond to suggestions on here. In my years of moderating here, I think I've seen it happen twice.

If people want to suggest something, they will make their own thread with details. Locking, as this thread has nothing to discuss.

This poll is incredibly biased.

Locking, as this thread does not have any details to actually discuss and give feedback on.

This topic keeps coming up years and years after both games have been released and I don't really think I've ever seen someone who actually thinks Terraria is a ripoff of Minecraft or vice versa. I see way more threads like this saying that they aren't ripping each other off, which is correct but I have no idea who is saying otherwise.

I don't think the Allay actually duplicates items. The video wasn't clear but the description on Minecraft.net indicates more that it will just pick up copies of whatever drop you give it so you don't have to. So if you tell it to pick up Gunpowder, you can kill Creepers from a distance and it will go get the Gunpowder they drop for you.

But yeah, definitely has my vote over the Glare. It isn't really that difficult to determine where mobs will spawn. Is dark? Mobs will probably spawn.

One workaround would be to use the curseforge client. It's my favourit bc i can make different profiles.

This doesn't just include jvm arguments. It includes versions and mods as well.

Unlike the vanilla launcher, i don't have to swap out mods when i want to play something different, i just have to select or create the right profile.

It saves a lot of time.

I'm 99.9% sure all of that functionality is also available in the vanilla launcher now.

But either way that isn't really relevant, since they want to be able to click a shortcut on their desktop and have the launcher automatically boot the specified profile/version without having to manually select it in the launcher after it opens.

This section is for updates to be made to Minecraft itself, not ideas for mods/minigames/servers/etc. Closing thread.

There's no such thing as a "Minecraft Veteran", that's just some silliness that people make up to feel good about themselves. I know people who have only played for a couple months who are more knowledgeable and skilled at the game than people who have played for 10 years.

Length of playing the game means nothing in terms of skill and meaningless self imposed titles based on arbitrary statistics don't matter.

1. For privacy reasons, this information is not publicly available.

2. Buying a used account or paying someone to give up a username violates Minecraft terms of use.

Locking thread.

I've never even heard of this, let alone had it happen to me.

I like the look of the blocks and have plenty of resources to make it.
