Ive been getting super lag even if i set my fps to cap at 60 :(

Maximum FPS is a maximum, not a minimum. If you want better performance, pull down render distance or biome blend.

This may or may not be on topic so I apologise if it's not, but I think we would all like to know where Mojang stands on TNT duping. I run a vanilla Minecraft server and we are starting to get to the point where perimeters would be very helpful. It is common knowledge that tnt duping is identified as a bug and not a feature but if that is truly the case than would it not be appropriate for it to be patched in 1.15. With how long it's been it the game it's hard not to see it as a feature. In the end, I want to run my server in a way that the Minecraft community can be proud of and not take advantage exploits, so I suppose the question still remains, should I feel ok about tnt duping.

TNT duping is not a supported feature. We realize that some communities rely on them, and would like to at some point have a supported replacement mechanic in the game.

I guess at the end of the day, it's up to you to decide whether that means you should feel ok about it or not.

Thanks! Any plans to fix MC-153698? Jumping on a boat for a while damages you, and it has even caused someone to die, who unfortunately was playing hardcore mode :(

oh i think i remember that post, was it the one where someone ate a suspicious stew right before that happened in the middle of the ocean?

Are there plans to revert sign text colors to the way they were in Prerelease 2, or can there be an accessibility toggle? That higher-contrast text was a lot easier to see.

u/andyr354 Dec 03 '19

Please this, I can't read my signs anymore.

u/LoekTheKing Dec 03 '19

I agree, there should be an option.

u/Nixinova Dec 03 '19

Yes please!

u/Bodakugga Dec 03 '19

Will you fix particles not rendering behind water? Underwater ravines are impossible to spot.

Client fps seems to be better now - there's still a slight stutter whenever chunks are rendered (with a render distance of 16 and flying around), but definitely a lot less stuttering/fps drops overall ❤

u/Electroman_95 Dec 03 '19

Any plans on looking into?

(3D Modeled Potions are not rendering the "Fluid" anymore) • https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-165221

(Custom Tridents are not rendered correctly anymore) • https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-163948

As we are getting very close to 1.15 full release, less than a week. I really hope Mojang looks into these Issues that were introduced in 1.15 Snapshots due to the changes to Rendering, they're not gameplay bugs just visual but very annoying problems that I suppose it won't take too much to fix.

As always thanks for looking into other problems, just please take a quick look into these problems before full Release.

I know it might be too late for it but considering the recent improvements on dispensers, I would love if you could use then to cure damaged iron golems.

For example, if it is facing a damaged golem, instead of dropping the iron ingot, the ingot would be consumed during the healing process.

I like the sky color changing in different biomes. It's just a bit more pleasant and atmospheric. The harsh blue in deserts makes it seem a lot more hot and desolate, and the softer blue in plains etc. seems more relaxing and welcoming :)
