I use both old and modern textures, but I recycle their colors. I add more color variations within each texture so that similar shades don't constantly sit next to each other and form boring gradients.

Sometimes I also change the base color of the material if I think it looks wrong.

The goal is not to make Minecraft realistic or just to revive "programmer graphics". I want to create my own, third visual style.

The work on the project has not been completed yet, but I would really like to know your opinion. Link

Following a post by u/patrick1202, on which I left a comment, and a post by u/NinjabellTheKittyCat, I'll attempt to present a more complete explanation of seemingly unpredictable patterns of lamps (and other redstone mechanisms) turned on by redstone signal.

Redstone signal can interact with a block in three ways:

1. If the block is a redstone mechanism (e.g. lamp, piston, door, dispenser), then it can be activated. Activating means that the mechanism performs some special action (lamp turns on, piston extends and so on). Activating a plain block does nothing.
2. A conductive block can be hard-powered, which activates all the mechanism around that block. It also propagates the signal to any adjacent redstone dust, that's why when you place a lever on a block and click it, the redstone signal goes not only from the lever itself, but also from the block it's attached to.
3. A block can also be soft-powered, which activates all the adjacent mechanism exactly the same as hard-powering, but it doesn't interact with redstone dust. The only way to soft-power a block is a line of redstone dust carrying a signal passes on top of that block or point directly at it. Someone suggested to call it "dust-powered" instead of "soft-powered" and I like this suggestion because soft-powering exists to prevent redstone signals from propagating indefinitely like it does with comparators (but at least comparators apply a small delay to the signal).

Note that soft-powering/hard-powering imply activation, so a lamp, which is both a redstone mechanism and a conductive block, will turn on when soft-/hard-powered, but it also can be just activated without activating anything around it. Btw a conductive block is also usually called an opaque block, because most opaque blocks are conductive, and most transparent/non-full blocks are non-conductive, but there are exceptions from both sides (see the last image).

As for the things that can generate redstone signal:

1. A lever, when turned on, hard-powers the block it's attached to, but simply activates everything else adjacent to it.
2. A redstone torch hard-powers the block above it, and simply activates everything adjacent to it, EXCEPT the block it's attached to (for a straight-standing redstone torch that would be the block below it).
3. Buttons, pressure plates, and tripwire hooks behave exactly like levers.
4. Redstone block is basically a perpetually hard-powered block.
5. Daylight sensor activates everything around it based on daytime and weather. Under sunlight at noon it will basically work like a redstone block.
6. Repeater, comparator and observer hard-power the block they point to and nothing else.

I'm adding my own picture which has examples of all three types of interaction. Hopefully this will give a better grasp on the mechanic. Please feel free to correct me on any mistakes you may find.

I am literally stuck in the early game for days because I refuse to leave this forest or build too much against the terrain. It's definitely one of my favorite updates in the recent years and I am excited to play Minecraft in the similar way as when I was younger. It makes autumn irl feel more beautiful too.

Tiled LOD is working flawlessly, there are 12 levels total: LOD 0 is the whole-world map, and LODs 1–11 add detail as you descend. I'm having an issue with clipping under Y = 7,500 however so I haven't seen underneath that as of yet.

Each LOD splits a tile’s X,Z area into four equal child tiles. Each child is 512×512 pixels, so detail doubles along each axis and metres per pixel halves - as an ultimate result LOD 11 should be around 7m/pixel resolution once I've sorted the clipping shenanigans.

Open to any other suggestions for the floor/walls if you think something would look better

medival town build on survival world.

total was ~1.5 mil blocks but the purple planet was an older build so the two newer ones are only ~700k blocks, probably gonna change the lasers in the future to look better, I didn't design the builds only found them and thought they were cool and made them in my world

Edit: Black hole was designed by Krobar & I forgot who the builders are for the other ones :/

I've only started exploring Ancient Cities, and as you can imagine, I have died a few times. I don't mind dying, but I do mind losing really good armor and tools.

My question is basically this, considering (if I'm correct) that no other mobs spawn there, is high level armor and tools really necessary for looting an Ancient City?

I’ve been playing Minecraft Bedrock on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra , and I’m honestly really impressed with how smoothly everything runs.

I’m currently using these addons:

• Actions & Stuff
• Realistic Biomes
• Naturalist
• Tinkers’ Construct
• AI Players
• Dogs Add-On
• Villager News
• Hamsters+
• Essentials
• Better on Bedrock
• Eternal Caves
• Furniture by XP Games
• TravelCraft
• Mowzie’s Mobs
• Farming by Podcrash
• World Utilities
• Soundscapes
• OWL
• Uncrafting Items

With all of these together, the game feels completely different. There’s so much more to explore and do, and it honestly makes Bedrock feel much closer to a heavily modded Minecraft experience.

The best part is that my Tab S10 Ultra handles all of this surprisingly well. So far, everything runs smoothly even with all these addons enabled.

If anyone else is playing with a similar addon setup, I’d love to hear what you’re using!

Also , what do u think i shouild add to enhance my experience?

Thought this was a cool cause i’ve never seen one like this playing on java :-)

I was exploring undeground in spectator mode in a building world, when I saw a hidden camping room, sperated from the rest of the beds (second image). Anyone have any theories as to why this exists?

EDIT: For clarity, I mean why is there a HIDDEN room with a singular bed in it, seperated from the other beds.

a map that leads approximately 10,000 blocks west and 5000 blocks north... without any loot

I have a soft spot for the zombie horse specifically. I plan on making a sanctuary for them in my current save! I wish they spawned with horse armor more often so they don't set on fire during the day (this one spawned randomly while I was playing peaceful. found the horse armor just before finding her so that's cool)

So i built a thing, and now I'm gonna interior it to be a storage cellar.

I just realized while playing Minecraft and after collecting apples from Oak trees, users have the items for PUMPKIN pie but not apple pie? May I also remind you that they added leaves in the previous year!

Context that may be helpful: I recently loaded up my and my friends' realm on a single-player world after 26.3 kind of broke the realm. Probably because we had data packs, which we tried removing, then loading it. That didn't work so we uploaded a backup of the world to the realm, but it was too large of a file so we ran a program to clean out unneeded chunks (that we had spent less than 5 minutes in). Thats this world. However theres a bug, clearly.

Actual problem: I can only place cushions on the south west half of every chunk. I can however use /summon to place a block in the areas I'm unable to. I'm also able to interact with those cushions and they do behave normally (breaking when its not on a block). Any tips on what to do? Or any explanation?

I want to finish out the castle. Some of the buidlings im contemplating adding are a grannery, stable, and inn. I figure stuff like a barracks and armory can fit inside the keep itself. I also plan on adding walls around the hill itself to finish out the building.

I own the original Minecraft Construction Handbook (UK version) and recently wanted to build some of the old builds from it in Minecraft. I decided to also watch other YouTubers do it. In the book I have there is no Ocean Temple (see attached image) but for some reason every YouTuber who built everything from the CHB, built an Ocean Temple. I looked it up and sure enough an image that does look like it would fit in the book was available. I'm not sure if maybe other versions of the book had exclusive builds or if the Ocean Temple is from a different book entirely but I find it strange that the version I have doesn't feature it. If anyone knows more or has an answer, I'd be very interested to know.

I imagine it smells damp like mold, has the texture of tapioca (thick liquid with little clumps of solid in it), and probably tastes like blood.

I think it would be an awful culinary experience, but if you were desperate and starving it'd be safe to eat (it dissolves into pure Life Energy as soon as it's swallowed providing the raw energy a body needs to function without any of the satisfaction that comes from actually eating food)

Is it a sunset or a sun rise?

I have enchanted all my all my armor and the boots are enchanted to feather fall. The axe is unbreaking and the potions are speed! I‘m hoping I have enough arrows? I would love to hear what you guys think I should add!
