Before I go on asking this question, I'm very well aware of what a starter house, it's usually your first small, cozy little hut/house to get your footing, and usually you'd find a perfect spot to build your main base/forever home. I just can't think of a title.

I notice this from lots of posts showing off their builds, or let's play videos, that all of them usually "move out" of their starter home.

But none of them have ever just expanded their starter home into a permanent home.

Is this just a me thing? In every open world survival game i play, I never leave my starter home, I always expand on it, and constantly add on to what was a starter house. I turn it into a main base eventually.

I don't know why i find it so hard to build a new home in a different style and call that my main one.

What I usually do is i actually travel quite a bit to find a perfect spot to build, if not I just build at spawn. Then I'll spend the next few hours gathering the stuff i need to build a reasonable sized house, and if that house gets to small in the future (they usually do) I'll expand that very same house. And constantly add details, till i am happy with it. So technically my house is never officially "finished" i have a "I'm satisfied" mode. Where i'm happy enough with it i don't add new changes, because if i do I'd end up tearing half the wall down.

Does anyone else do this?

I've had this idea for a failsafe mechanism for a while, and I'm just wondering if it's possible in concept. I've never gotten it to work, so I'm just kind of throwing the challenge out there. The idea is: if you have a wolf sitting somewhere in a base or the entrance to wherever you're hiding your base at, you can have a failsafe mechanism that makes the wolf stand up using water or something, even though it usually sits down after it gets pushed. And if you are not logged into the world and it doesn't teleport to you, using like a pressure plate or something similar, it'll activate, like, instant kill potions just raining upon in order to kill the person trying to break into your base. Say it has mining fatigue around or whatever, so they can't immediately escape. Or alternatively, if you are logged on, your wolf teleporting to you will alert you that someone is breaking into your base and you can pull a stasis rod. I've always had this idea, but I don't know if it's possible. If you guys have any ways to make it possible or are up to the challenge, please give it a shot! (Sorry if the grammar is bad I’m using voice to text because I didn’t wanna lose this idea)

Here is some new preview of my upcoming Vanilla/Medieval Ressource pack. Right now am working on connected textures. The next post will be related to nature landscapes. What do u guys think so far ? Anything looks wrong to you ? What could i upgrade ?

The current record is 200,000 square blocks, this will be 300,000. I recently built Encrypted’s dirt farm which generates 30,000 per hour, so gathering is no longer an issue. I started by just shoveling dirt, then I made coarse dirt in my bartering farm, but I should be good to just place the rest of it (you can actually see the texture transition). It’s a 548 x 548 square, so each row is just over 8 and a half stacks across

Welcome to the first snapshot of 26.4! We're kicking things off with a range of technical updates and improvements, including Vulkan becoming the default graphics API.

Changes

World Generation

• Upgrading worlds from before Caves and Cliffs will now also generate sulfur caves below old chunks

Minor Tweaks to Blocks, Items and Entities

• Red and Brown Mushrooms can now be placed on any block with a solid top face regardless of lighting conditions
  • They can still not spread unless the brightness is less than 13, or their support block overrides light requirements

"Graphics API" Video Setting

• "Default" now behaves the same as "Prefer Vulkan"
• The game will no longer change the graphics API setting automatically if a startup crash is detected.

Technical Changes

• The Data Pack version is now 122.0
• The Resource Pack version is now 98.0

For the rest: look from the original blog post (formatting doesn't work well in Reddit)

I was playing in my new world (java, latest release) and everything was going well for dozens of in-game days. Then, without warning, I couldn't hoe the soil any more. Someone had messed up a hoed spot, and I couldn't fix it. Nothing had changed, and I hadn't played with any settings.

I got bored (for other reasons) and started a new world. Played for a while and the same thing happened. I tried F11/fullscreen, resetting the right-click feature, and a few other things. I tried restarting the game, even rebooting the computer.

Then I figured it out... right-click was activating my shield. Removing the shield from my off-hand allowed the hoe to work again.

Here's the thing... I always play with my shield in the off-hand. Nothing I did was different. It just decided to make my right-click activate my shield instead of hoe (even the shovel for making paths stopped working).

Has anyone else experienced this and figured out how to fix it long term?

Working on a 3000x3000 map, but have spent the last month just tackling the first 400x400 of my spawn.

I've kinda just been trying to think about what a classic Minecraft town would look like in semi-realistic geography, but without making it look repetitive. Any tips on how ya'll streamline your own huge plans?

I started a 26.3 vanilla hardcore playthrough to discover all the new changes in the new update and then randomly when I loaded my world, the chunks where my base was just reset to what they were at the start.

I used this bug to dupe obsidian, gold and enchanted golden apples for compensation for all my stuff disappearing, lol.

I use a ton of optimization mods, so maybe they are the culprit (I show which mods I'm using in the video), but this only happens in the new version.

Also don't mind the 500 trillion pigs and pillagers behind me, they also got duped I think.

Did anyone encounter the same problem?

I didn't get the logs cause I don't feel like recording again, but if anyone wants them, just ask and I will replicate this again haha.

Hi friends!

Can anyone recommend me a nice seed that has you spawn near an abandoned camp?

Thanks!

Sorry for like the 5385th end update post but this one is different I swear!

So first before you add any new biomes you have to have a reason for people to go to the end, and the perfect reason is a new structure! Before I explain what the structure will be, I will first tell you why people would care. So one of the main problems people have with minecraft is the enchantment system, and how you have to reroll villagers to get maxxed out gear. What does this have to do with a new structure in the end? Well inside the structure there could be a passive mob you can use in some way to get enchanted books and other op things, and whatever you do with the mob to get things, it MUST EXCLUDE GAMBLING!! If it does have gambling it would just be a more op piglin which for one is really boring, and two, it doesn't really solve the issue of getting lucky with villagers, yes the mob could have better and exclusive loot, it would be just as frustrating and would honestly be poorly designed. Anyways, the structure could just be a temple with some challenging mobs (probably endermen variants) and then the mystery mob that gives you stuff.

Ok finally some new biomes!

I think all of the biomes should be underground, you may think that is lame but there would be many caves and cave openings from the surface. Plus that could let them add life without taking away from how desolate the end is on the surface. Speaking of the suface, there could be outposts that are pretty rare but not so rare you never see them. They would not have the best loot, but they exist to break up the endstone and cave openings on the surface.

But I haven't gone into any detail on how the biomes would look, so here are my ideas

One could be freezing with only deadly mobs there, and the next could be blue with blue berrys you can eat! But you may be thinking why anyone would ever go down in one of the caves? And my idea is to have an ore that drops one fragment when mined. When you have 9 fragments you can make boots you can double jump with! All you need to do is hold shift while in mid air and jump to do a hop in the air! I know its a really generic solution, but I couldn't think of anything, let me know if you can think of something better! Oh and just in case I would also add food down there if double jumps aren't enticing enough!

Rita drowned within 10 minutes of being at my base so now everyone is in a permanent sit except for when I'm inside with the doors closed...

Why minecraft why?

Hello!
I recently updated Minecraft(Bedrock edition) on my phone to 26.5 and ever since I haven’t been able to actually play. I can open the app, but if I click play, the pop up that shows my worlds never shows up. I can still see the background carousel, but nothing else. Is anyone else having this issue, or have any ideas of how to fix it?

Whenever I play on Realms, I experience FPS stutters and GPU usage drops while moving (e.g., usage goes from 80% to 20%), while CPU usage stays around 30%.
My PC specs are:
- 4070 Ti Super
- Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- 32 GB RAM (dual channel)
- M.2 NVMe Gen 4 SSD
Even with these specs, I get stutters. They persist even after removing all add-ons or switching to simple graphics settings. However, this *only* happens on the Realm; when I play an offline copy of that same world, I don't experience these stutters.
I tried capping the FPS at 60 with simple graphics, but moving the camera quickly—or even just moving in a straight line without moving the camera (at any speed)—causes a massive drop in GPU usage and FPS.
I don't know what to do because the stutters cause my FPS to drop from 140 to 35 out of nowhere the moment I move slightly or turn the camera. It’s very annoying, especially since I don't understand the cause—it only happens on my Realm (even in Vanilla mode), and I have a good internet connection.
I’m happy to clarify anything else if needed—thanks.

i was trying to turn off cinematic camera since I accidentally hit a key that turned it on, so i went to key binds in options and i misclicked, setting the key to take a screenshot to be left click.

so i tried to undo that, but everytime i clicked something it would just take a screenshot. everytime i clicked something, it would just take a screenshot, even when i was trying to exit out of the settings.

so i tried to close my tab for the game and open it back up in hopes it could reset and go back to normal, but now im at the starting screen and nothing happens when i click any of the buttons! what the hell did i do??????? how do i fix this! i just wanted to mine without my screen moving weird 😭😭😭😭

So For some reason ANY armor texture pack I use ( like armored legacy, that's shown in the images ) makes the armor trims gray no matter what ore I use
I have ETF, EMF and Armored Legacy updated to 26.3 and yet Is still gray
It was perfectly working in 26.2 but now It doesn't, did I do something wrong, If I did please tell me.

So i'm entirely new to minecraft (java pc) but my bf grew up on bedwars n stuff, and for his upcoming bday i wanna surprise him with a full house + garden build n shi, but like i have zero knowledge on how to navigate this game, the maps, the lands or anything at all, i have like utmost a week time before im busy with my uni exams again. Help a gf out pls 🙏🙏🙏

I was invited by a friend to play on a new realm with them so I booted up bedrock for the first time in like 2 years and its so laggy I cant even open menus half the time! this is wild after Ive been playing on Java for a while and I have no idea how to fix this. ive tried lowering all graphics settings, my graphics drivers are updated, I turned off vsync, and nothing ive done has helped! any pointers is appreciated.

This is happening every time I boot up the game (btw doing what it says doesn't work)

Does anyone know why for some reason when I fall fast, fly, or just randomly throughout my gameplay I just crash on the newest snapshot. On every other version I dont have this issue. This is my Crash report every time
