Minecraft

Work continues for the Vibrant Visuals update to come to Minecraft Java, and as part of that they're switching the rendering from OpenGL to Vulkan.

Announced today (February 18th) by Mojang developers, it's a huge change for such a game and will take time - but it will be worth it in the end so they can take advantage of all the modern features available for both visual improvements and better performance.

Note: I will crosspost this to !minecraft@lemmy.world as it's a more popular community.

With the introduction of Minecraft Java 1.4.3, they added the F3+B functionality to view all the hitboxes on entities. However, it wasn't perfect. The player hitbox renders too high. This can pose a problem for my main instance as well, as it is within this version range.

Even around 1.7, the visuals for the hitboxes changed, but the player hitbox was still centered too high.

The bug was eventually fixed in snapshot 14w06b. Excuse the Steve skin in this screenshot.

Here are some other perspectives!

Alt:

A screenshot of a Tumblr post. A render of MythicalSausage's Gravity Guy skin off of NameMC is on the left. The Tumblr post is from sirobvious and reads,

">go to Draculas castle

he has a humidifier

pour two liter of holy water into it

leave".

Smajor1995's vampire skin from After Life SMP is superimposed, translucently, over "Draculas".

Alt:

Twitter post by @only3brannans with a NameMC render of MythicalSausage as an "angel" to the left of it. It reads:

"Was standing next to a goth at the traffic lights n they opened up their umbrella n a honestly shat masel thought the cunt was turning into a bat"

Smajor1995's vampire skin is superimposed over the word "goth".

Alt:

[NameMC render of MythicalSausage]: "are you an 'arrr' pirate or a 'yo ho ho' pirate"

[NameMC render of GoodTimeWithScar]: "I'm an 'I'm not paying $600 for Photoshop' pirate"

People in my Discord server really like this little guy so a few of us built him! I found that snow was the easiest white block to get since you can gather snowballs very quickly using a snow golem trapped in a one-block space. This allowed us to get the materials needed in about an hour.

Some other screenshots:

A progress report screenshot I took. The schematic file also appears here, which we used as a reference.

Sunrise shot. Looks awesome, especially since I had no shaders on!

The second screenshot I took upon completion; the first was at night.

GT:NH meaning Gregtech: New Horizons, best/worst modpack I ever played. I progress super slowly, I'm still at tech tier 3 out of 10 or so after more than a year of on and off play.

This may be a modded game, but I very manually crafted this map out with hundreds of stacks of stained glass, diorite, and golden pressure plates. Free-handed in survival last year on a server, here are some incremental pics: [#1] [#2] [#3]

This is intended to be a thread of your favorite out of context/unintentionally suggestive/just plain ODD MCYT clips from YouTube or Twitch.

Please use YouTube or Twitch's integrated clip systems to share. Certain MCYT communities heavily frown upon reposting clips instead of sharing them.

MCYTers playing other games does not count as out of context MCYT, as Minecraft is not involved. Sorry.

Here's some iconic ones:

Keralis rubbing his wood

Etho's Little Wood

Etho's Infamous Gold Farm

Secret Stripping Area

Pause's Wood

Balls

Bdubs the horrible boss

Etho's Escort Service

Lovely Feet

Squirting Time

Bed Wizard

Get Gorgeous

I refuse to open the "What does Etho look like?" can of worms, so I just drew Real-Etho as a generic, blank Guy with spiky hair and his mic in a tissue box.

Using Figura and Blockbench, earlier this year, I made a custom model of my fursona and put it into Minecraft as my player model.

Custom models or skins via Figura do not show up to other players unless they also have the mod installed. It is client side only.
