This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Minecraft: Java Edition has been obfuscated since its release. This obfuscation meant that people couldn’t see our source code. Instead, everything was scrambled – and those who wanted to mod Java Edition had to try and piece together what every class and function in the code did.

Modding is at the heart of Java Edition – and obfuscation makes modding harder. We're excited about this change to remove obfuscation, as it should make it quicker and easier for modders to create and improve mods. Now you won’t have to untangle tricky code or deal with unclear names. What’s more, de-bugging will become more straightforward, and crash logs will actually be readable!

surprisingly fantastic and consumer friendly move from mojang, good on them

Finally we can view Mojang's shitty server multi-threading implementation in all its glory.

They started providing deobfuscation maps 6 years ago

They should officially support the mod loaders at this point

Playing minecraft without mods as an adult is like eating a plain potato, or like going to a party without inebriating substances.

[–] XM34@feddit.org 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Then I must be the most plain motherfucker out there. I meddle with Create and Biomes o' plenty every couple of years, but about 90% of my worlds are vanilla with the exception of a couple of Vanilla Tweaks data packs.

I tried Feed the Beast once... never again. That was the worst Minecraft experience I've had in my entire life!

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Feed the Beast is commonly overloaded and also commonly shoves things like progression and questing, which are not to everybody's liking.

The best approach is always to add the mods you want manually to tailor the experience.

I personally had most fun with Terrafirmacraft, Thaumcraft, Electrical Age, and GregTech. But those were the days gone, and most of them got stuck at 1.7.10

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

most of them got stuck at 1.7.10

As did I :) The few times I boot up MC it's the same old modpacks on the same old versions.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I too find myself returning back there :)

So many great mods died after this version that it was impossible to recreate the experience - and I feel bad for those who joined the party later and never knew what 1.7.10 (or 1.6.4, or 1.5.2 for that matter) has to offer.

It goes so bad that when I recently loaded a newer version, I was like "what the hell is going on here" :D

[–] 87Six@lemmy.world 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Not... Really? I mean I get it of you like mods, i do too, but Minecraft offers so much out of the box that I find it extreme to claim that..

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Sodium, Let Me Despawn (prevents servers from going under 20TPS), No Chat Reports, and other QOL no content mods are essential for even running a server with vanilla clients tbh

[–] Benaaasaaas@group.lt 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Server hosting and using mods to improve performance/server moderation tools is a bit different than playing with mods.

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Fair, although stock Minecraft without QOL is rough around the edges (especially if we're talking performance or accessibility)

Even client mods are almost a must for things like saturation monitoring or ease of navigation

[–] PoliteDudeInTheMood@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Once Create Mod came out, vanilla was dead to me

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 117 points 1 day ago (19 children)

So, what's the catch? Surely Microsoft and Mojang didn't just suddenly become good?

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 114 points 1 day ago (6 children)

The monkeypaw says they will stop updates for the java edition or release a new version that doesn't work on the java edition.

They probably see how many sales are generated from the free work done by modders though. If someone wants to come along and do for free the thing you might have to actually pay designers, developers, artists and all the support staff for and they still need to pay you to play it, you'd be foolish not to encourage the exploitation of free labor.

Why not go open source? What are they so afraid of, given anyone can now see the source code by using a simple tool?

[–] ytg@sopuli.xyz 44 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Open source includes unlimited distribution. The game is still paid and they want to reserve distribution rights.

Do you mean source available or actually open source?

I look forward to several critical CVE being discovered like log4j

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 2 points 8 hours ago

That would be good though. Better the communities finds them and they can be patched than when only some black hats know them.
