As for the pit idea, why not have several larger pits. As they fill with mobs, use an invisibility poition to enter the pits and name tag the creepers without them detecting you. Over time you will get the other mobs despawn but the creepers will not. Obviously you'll need quite a few tags, but once you get one a CC in one of the pits, wiat for a skeleton to spawn in it, kill any other mobs so you only have the skelly and the CC and effect the detonation...

If I'm not digging small pits, why do I need pits at all? Maybe I should just fence off a big field, name tag all the creepers in the field, and kill the other monsters. Eventually I should have so many creepers that all monsters stop spawning.

The command

/execute as @e[type=villager, limit=100] if data entity @s {VillagerData:{profession:"minecraft:cartographer"}} run tp @p

works. You can also use this other command, which I'm pretty sure does the same thing but looks simpler.

/tp @e[nbt={VillagerData:{profession:"minecraft:cartographer"}}] @p

"execute if entity @p[scores={score_deathcount_min=1}] run <whatever command>" lets you run whatever command when the nearest player dies. To destroys items, I think you can run "execute if entity @p[scores={score_deathcount_min=1}] run kill @e[type=item,distance=..4]".

Do you know how to find the ".minecraft" folder?

If yes, create a folder in ".minecraft" called "resourcepacks", create a folder in "resourcepacks", and name that the name of your resource pack. To make the resource pack work, the folder needs to contain a file called "pack.mcmeta" and a folder called "assets". The "pack.mcmeta" file needs to look like this.

{
"pack":{
"pack_format":4,
"description":"type whatever you want here"
}
}

I use Notepad++ to edit it. I don't know what other text editors can open a .mcmeta file.

Now that you have a "pack.mcmeta" file, Minecraft should be able to recognize your resource pack. If you want your resource pack to really do something, then you need to add files to the "assets" folder. To make sure you're naming stuff the right names and putting them in the right folders, go to ".minecraft" and then "versions". Open the folder whose name is the latest version ("1.13.2" at the time of writing). Somehow extract the .jar file. (I like using 7-Zip) You should get a folder called "assets" that's structured the exact same way that the "assets" folder of your resource pack should be structured. If you want to edit a file, copy the file (and all the folders in its pathway) from the extracted "assets" folder to the "assets" folder in your resource pack. For example, you can edit the stone texture by creating a file at "assets\minecraft\textures\block\stone.png" in your resource pack and editing that file.

If I run a command like

/execute at @e[type=mooshroom,limit=1,sort=arbitrary] run setblock ~ ~ ~ stone

when multiple Mooshrooms are loaded, it always runs the command on one particular Mooshroom. What's special about that one?

That’s just not how functions work. A graph that curves up would imply that that the game is selling exponentially, which is just now how sales works. Let me put that into content. Let’s start at 2 copies of the game. The model you’re suggesting would then mean that 4 games would be sold. Then 16. Then 256. Then 65,536. Sales, in this case Minecraft, are based on the linear function. That is why the graph is an incline, not a curve. And from what the graph suggests sales are doing pretty well.

If something sold 1 copy on day 1, 2 copies on day 2, and 3 copies on day 3, then its cumulative sales would be 1 on day 1, 3 on day 2, and 6 on day 3. If you graphed it, then it would curve up just like the exponential curve, but it's definitely not an exponential curve. So not everything that curves up is exponential.

The cumulative sales for Minecraft is linear, so it's selling about the same number of copies each year. I don't know how you guys define "growing", but selling the same amount each year doesn't look like "growing" to me.

With customer service like this, Minecraft is killing itself. I *ONLY* play it because my bestie does.

If not for that, I'd crumple my receipt for it into a ball, throw it on the ground, stomp on it, light it on fire and pee on the ashes.

Oh and the Youtuber community doesn't help. At all.

Minecraft is a video game. Video games are played only when people want to play them, and they're only what players think they are. So if everyone thinks Minecraft is dead, then it's dead. How good or fun the game is doesn't matter. Based on Google Trends, Minecraft started dying in 2013, around official release version 1.6. Of course, this has nothing to do with my own opinion, which is that Minecraft is still getting better.

I think what you want is a repeating command block set to unconditional and always active. There needs to be a redstone comparator whose back end touches this repeating command block, and whatever TP command in a command block on the other end of the comparator. Inside the repeating command block, write, "execute @p ~ ~ ~ testforblock ~ ~ ~ snow_layer". Note that this won't always work on multiplayer.

I would like to be able to have command blocks do things in other dimensions. For example, /tp 0 0 0 teleports the player to (0, 0, 0) in the dimension that the player is currently in. Then, if 0, 1, or 2 are added to a specific place depending on the command, it uses the coordinate for the Overworld, Nether, or End, respectively. This would apply to any command that uses coordinates as arguments. Commands would then be able to interact with blocks and entities in other dimensions. The dimension would also be a target selector argument. Also, I'd like for the spawn chunks to load as long as any player in that world.

List of commands that would be affected

Would this be useful?

Is Minecraft a hard game to learn?

In my opinion the game is very complicated and hard to learn

There are so many different things people who play it have to learn, at least in survival mode. farming, hunting, fishing, potion brewing, animal breeding, crafting, fighting monsters, writing in book items, using maps, dying armor, making fireworks, putting patterns on banners (which itself has a huge list of crafting recipes in order to allow people a lot of freedom in what they can put on their banners), mining, architecture in designing the building, knowledge of how to make simulated electronics with redstone, and the list goes on and on and on

I'm glad that there is at least a recipe book which makes it easier for new players.

I acquired my first Zombie / Skeleton and Creeper skulls pre-tridents and channeling, but as you probably surmise, gettting a charged creeper is tricky. I got mine from a large area i flattened with an observation tower in the middle and most of the underground area lit up so i got a lot of surface spawns, and when a thunderstorm happened I raced to the tower to monitor the area. But it took ages to get my first charged creeper.

As for the pit idea, why not have several larger pits. As they fill with mobs, use an invisibility poition to enter the pits and name tag the creepers without them detecting you. Over time you will get the other mobs despawn but the creepers will not. Obviously you'll need quite a few tags, but once you get one a CC in one of the pits, wiat for a skeleton to spawn in it, kill any other mobs so you only have the skelly and the CC and effect the detonation...

Fortune on a Silk Touch pickaxe is (mostly) useless since Silk Touch overrides Fortune unless it doesn't work on the block (e.g. crops will still drop more seeds/carrots/etc):

public void harvestBlock(World par1World, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, int par3, int par4, int par5, int par6)
{
    par2EntityPlayer.addStat(StatList.mineBlockStatArray[this.blockID], 1);
    par2EntityPlayer.addExhaustion(0.025F);

    if (this.canSilkHarvest() && EnchantmentHelper.getSilkTouchModifier(par2EntityPlayer))
    {
        ItemStack var8 = this.createStackedBlock(par6);
        if (var8 != null) this.dropBlockAsItem_do(par1World, par3, par4, par5, var8);
    }
    else
    {
        int var7 = EnchantmentHelper.getFortuneModifier(par2EntityPlayer);
        this.dropBlockAsItem(par1World, par3, par4, par5, par6, var7);
    }
}

public int quantityDroppedWithBonus(int par1, Random par2Random)
{
    if (par1 > 0 && this.blockID != this.idDropped(0, par2Random, par1))
    {
        return this.quantityDropped(par2Random) * Math.max(1, par2Random.nextInt(par1 + 2));
    }
    else
    {
        return this.quantityDropped(par2Random);
    }
}

execute at @e[type=armor_stand,name=ArmorStand11,limit=1,sort=random] run summon fireball ~ ~-1 ~ {direction:[0.0,-1.0,0.0],power:[0.0,-1.0,0.0],Life:4096,ExplosionPower:1}

I have a bunch of armor stands. Every time I run this command, I want to pick a random one and make it summon a ghast fireball. The fireball should move down if it doesn't hit some entity or block that's not air. When I try running it, none of the fireballs can move more than 10 or 11 meters. They just move downward for a brief time and then explode in mid-air.

Your power is too high. It's an acceleration rather than a velocity. So I assume when you see it move like 10 blocks, it already moved like 100 blocks and the game's too lazy to render it.

Set it maybe 1/10 of the number of direction.

Glass won't stop siege zombies from spawning but could keep the farmland from being trampled and probably would keep any zombies that spawned on solid blocks underneath the farmland (with their legs inside the farmland) from climbing up out of the ground.

The fence is out from the building about 20 blocks or so. The raids spawn well outside of the fence area, probably about 60 blocks or so away. When we stand on top, we can see them spawn in and it has never been even close. Also, when I laid the magma blocks, I noticed that a golem I had outside was avoiding them and I wondered if the raid mobs would do the same. I'm happy to report that they are too stupid to realize they should not stand there.

My buddy accidentally walked into our village with the Bad Omen effect. We killed all the pillagers in the raid except the last one and then name-tagged and imprisoned him. Since the previous raid never stopped (since he's still alive), we haven't seen any new raiders or pillagers since. YMMV but it was a nice solution for us.

I'm not sure, but crops may need an air block above them to grow, that is, the ceiling might have to be 2 blocks above the dirt.

However, farmland is slightly less than a full block high, so as long as it doesn't get trampled or dry out while not having anything growing on it nothing can spawn on it.

--But siege zombies can spawn inside "transparent" blocks like slabs or farmland if there is a solid block below it, also they don't care about light levels.

(Farmland or slabs with 2 air blocks below them should be safe from spawns.)

Also, while I'm not absolutely certain, I believe I read somewhere that they changed things so raiders now need a light level of less than 8 or 9 to spawn?

I have no experience with raids but according to the Wiki ravagers only destroy crops and leaves (in Bedrock, all plants (except logs) + snow)

Fences and walls should be enough to stop raiders as long as they are on the outside, the question is how you stop them from spawning on the inside, they Wiki unfortunately doesn't deem helpful there.

You are right, I tried again and it does in fact work.

I don't know what went wrong when i tried it last time.

Well thank you nontheless!

The simpler way looks geat too.
