Spruce overrated

Peace be with you gamers

x>y

idk how lore accurate am i, but this is what i thought after maths class.

I was playing minecraft earlier and this is perfect :3

I've seen alot of people say that the spear is way better weapon compared to the mace; it's easier to obtain, easier to use and easier to attack with it, where in comparison the mace is way harder to obtain and you have to use it to attack by falling from a great height, sure you can one hit anything if you time your attacks perfectly but if you miss you are just falling to your death. And in the spears case, you can use it anyway you want with no fear of falling to your death. So in conclusion it seems like the spear is the better weapon compared to the mace and it makes the mace look like there's no point of obtaining it.

So my question to all of you is that, should mojang make the spear harder to obtain or nerf it so that both the mace and the spear be in the same tier of weapons????

Y'all this guy is trying to seduce me because I said he was doing self promo lmao

Sorry if this is the wrong flair but can a lod ban this guy?

For those of you who don't know, the current method AI uses to create images involves messing around with noise, which means even if you ask AI to generate pure color, the result image will be noisy, especially if the image has synthID watermarks.

For example, at the risk of getting burned alive tied to a pike, here are two images I generated with AI, one with Google Gemini, a commercial model, one with Qwen-image 2.1, an open source local model.

Now these two images look very homogeneously red, but if you check them with a color picker you can see that each pixel are actually different colors from each other even if you just move one pixel away.

We can visualize this with a very handy website called fotoforensics.

You can see the griddy or stain like RGB noise pattern here, from inconsistencies in the color. The point is, had the commissionee been using generative AI, we would see a pattern like the above even in large areas with homogeneous color. As an example to what non-AI looks like, here's a metal orb I painted in 10 seconds:

Notice how there's still noise in the ELA image around where the gray abruptly transitions to white(A feature of borders in ELA images like this), and light gray noise in the glossy area from the color gradient, but the large areas of pure color would look pitch black, because the colors there are truly homogeneous.

Now let's look at the ELA graph of phoenixchan1.png

The image still looks noisy on the graph, but that's because there's loads of borders here and there from the netherack. However, when you focus on large areas of homogeneous color in the image, like Phoenix chan's legs, parts of the bucket, and some snippets of netherrack in the background, you can notice large chunks of pitch black, indicating homogeneous color, which I also confirmed with a color picker. In fact, even if you zoom in on the netherack in the background, you can still find some small regions of homogeneous colors, despite them looking noisy in the ELA graph(because ELA involves calculating in chunks).

Remember, like earlier tested, AI has a hard time generating homogeneous colors without putting some nonsense gradient or noise on it due to how they work. Had the work been AI generated, it would be nearly impossible to see consistent patches of homogeneous color without noise or gradient on it.

Now this isn't definitive proof that absolutely no AI was involved in the creation of this image, but with the presented evidence and analysis I find it very hard to believe that the image is entirely or mostly AI generated.

Long post here. Some thoughts I’ve had.

listen - i get the memes. it’s really silly to bend over backwards and discern those three letters from literally anything Mojang have been posting lately. or from any media at all for that matter, because that Undertale post was insane lmao. but bear with me for a second… do yall ever seriously consider why they are obviously putting this off?

Excuse my tinfoil hat theories… but it is because Mojang (and even more so Microsoft) have trapped themselves - because The End is the very last place in current Minecraft where it remains as C418’s and only C418’s artistic muse. it has not been overhauled, updated, or changed under their modern update philosophy (which in my opinion started in 1.13). The End right now remains as a relic of a different time of the game, and idk about yall but to me that is very fascinating. In my view, this is also the sole reason why we have been under the drops system for the past year, with the devs updating other random aspects of their game and even reviving the mob vote losers - it is to buy time, to remain relevant as a video game, and keep the community engaged: simple, profit-driven motives.

We all know that this game, its popularity, and its unique aesthetic (whether or not it can be argued that said aesthetic has changed for the better or for the worse over the years), would not have been able to stand out without Daniel’s music. And here’s my thing with The End: its vision as a dimension, in my opinion, is complete and has been complete - with C418’s help as an artist. It contains one 15-minute ambient masterpiece of a song which alone makes the dimension what it is. The End is a desolate landscape with gaping chasms into its never-ending, unforgiving tv static-esque void. Does this land hold the memories of the player, or do they disappear into the cold dark abyss? It is a perfect finale to Minecraft. the dimension and its themes run so counter to the game’s messaging (specifically in the end poem) which is exactly the point. But with all of this being said, we also know by now how things went down with Daniel and Microsoft.

So what should they do?

The community wants an End Update, but do they really? we have seen how modders think The End should be updated; in my opinion, they fall under just another “Nether Update” scope. don’t get me wrong, it was a fantastic update in all regards! but what i am trying to say is that they cannot update The End like they did in 1.16, with adding more life and civilization to a dimension. The point of The End is that it is a cold, unforgiving, depressing realm where memories are put to rest. if they were to update it, it needs to be something odd, quirky, out there, unconventional, and a valid expansion to the vision C418 originally created for it. we do not need another netherite. we do not need another structure. we do not need more biomes. we do not need more niche single-use mobs. We need something radically different and something which requires admittedly lots of time and creativity to cook up. new genres of music, new types of world generation, new game mechanics, everything! What I believe is that anything less than that will be doing the community, C418, and the game itself a huge disservice.

Forgive me for sounding extreme, but in my opinion, the execution, community reception, and overall outcome of The End update will determine Minecraft’s future. The End is extremely unique as a dimension and therefore should be treated as such. It is artistically valuable and what Mojang does with it will cement whether or not they want to adhere to and respect the time, care, and dedication made towards this game and its profound messaging and commentary on our place in the universe as actors within it. That is, if they ever decide to update it. And they will. Of course they will. we’ll see what happens i guess.

How is THIS possible?

pls

It's not that glitchy, most glitches are issues with the WiFi, not the actual game. I can't think of a single issue with Minecraft bedrock that doesn't revolve around bad WiFi. It's Minecraft. IT'S FUCKING MINECRAFT! IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE! I DON'T CARE WHICH ONE YOU THINK IS BETTER! IT'S THE SAME FUCKING GAME SO STOP BITCHING ABOUT IT! THE DIFFERENCES ARE MINIMAL AND THEY'RE PRACTICALLY THE SAME! So yeah please stop it's really annoying.
