Swine of Eternal Majasty

@CollinRugg I say, Instead of him sitting in jail for years while waiting for the execution, let's take every cent that would've gone to that, and use it on ammunition instead for a firing squad, and that firing squad should be told to use every single bullet. Sound good?

BREAKING: FedEx driver who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering 7-year-old Athena Strand, has been sentenced to death. Tanner Horner snatched Athena while he was delivering a Barbie doll to her home in Paradise, Texas. At one point during the trial, jurors broke down in tears while hearing audio of Horner killing Athena after he told her to take off her shirt and said she was "really pretty." Athena repeatedly asked for her mother before she was killed. "Horner is then heard asking Athena to remove her shirt, and there are several moments when she says "no" and asks for her mom. That was followed by repeated sounds of crying, screaming and banging," NBC reported last month. Following three hours of deliberation today, Horner was sentenced to death by lethal injection.

@NovaWostra "the chiseled blocks make them incredibly themed" Um that's every chiseled block

- Cinnabar looks a lot better but also doesnt have any cracked bricks meaning for my purposes its useless - the chiseled blocks make them incredibly themed meaning those i cant ever use anywhere unless its supposed to be abstracted or related to their theme of slimes and spiders

So now with 26.2 being feature complete here is my final verdict: Not even bare minimum - sulfur cubes arent for me, so its hard for me to care for them but i think minigame people will have a field day with them - sulfur is sadly still quite ugly and did not get cracked bricks

@MintRefresh_MC Mojang gives its excuses for why "its not that simple" but modders do it all the time. It could take a modder an hour to add a cinnabar beetle to the game with zero bugs. Its been done in the past with previous updates. Stop defending Mojang's laziness. They bait and switched us.

@BaKonGaming That is feedback. Clearly the community's feedback proved it did not work with the intended vision of the game surrounding this update. And you're severely misjudging what it takes for a feature to be added to Minecraft.

"but Mojang doesn't listen to feedback" #Minecraft

@MintRefresh_MC That's not feedback. It's a bait and switch, intentional or not. They saw everyone excited about a new beetle, but that would take them a whole hour to code so they decided to change the texture instead and disappoint everyone who got excited for it

@BaKonGaming The feedback was that it looked like something that it was not intended to look like.

@slicedlime Just a minor complaint, it looks really strange to have a sulfer spring in the middle of random biomes like forests and stuff. It definitely feels like something that should stay in hot biomes. Y'all consider that maybe? Also, I'm kinda heartbroken about the beetle...

New Minecraft Snapshot: 26.1.1-rc-1 minecraft.net/en-us/article/…

@daann63 @TheDailyHPotter This "Badass great actor" is assuming the role of a pessimistic and cruel teacher who was bullied by the white heroes in his childhood. It completely changes the context of his character and accomplishes the exact opposite tone that the diversity hires probably thought it would.

I’m seeing way too many hate and racist comments here. Let me tell you something: It’s about time you guys accept that Snape is gonna be played by a badass BLACK actor, twice BAFTA-nominated and critically acclaimed for his stage performance as Hamlet. Enough with the endless baby tantrums already. If you still have any issues, go contact the HBO complaints department. Maybe they’ll reshoot the entire first season just to please you.

A controversial take but we like both the Snape actors 🖤

@bankertobuilder Rage bait

Before and after Client was sick of the dusty old floors that were often cold in the winter We fixed it up with something tasteful and modern

@SlimerSlimy @NovaWostra Mod authors generally just transition the difference onto the vanilla block. So whatever the vanilla block is normally, plus all the features it's missing from the modded block would be added as modded functions on to the vanilla block.

@NovaWostra I wonder how is Alex Caves gonna solve the sulfur problem, because that mod already had its own sulfur

I have no clue what to use any of those building blocks for. the sulfur one i can kinda see sometimes but the cinnebar one is just, eh?

@ZajacRafal @itiswattles It doesn't work that way. Sulfur is a component of gunpowder. Not a product.

@itiswattles I hope we'll be able to craft the sulphur blocks from gunpowder. I have tons of it.

what are some of your biggest questions / theories about the new sulfur cave biome?!?!?!

@itiswattles Sulfer and Charcoal should be combined to make gunpowder as an alternative for peaceful mode. Yeah yeah, I know it's missing PN, but it's a block game.

@Simon_Hypixel @Simon_Hypixel I may have missed it in an earlier update, but translucent textures, has there been any progress on that yet?

@Simon_Hypixel @ZiadAhmed2371 I mean, All it takes is a mod to add crafting recipes for them I'm sure. It's understandable though, keeping the immersion of the medieval/fantasy adjacent style for survival while giving us the ability to go crazy in custom worlds and servers.

@ZiadAhmed2371 not all, some are purely creative or technical blocks the ones that make sense will be added though

@klaus_29a @Simon_Hypixel It's a sandbox block game. Survival is medieval oriented, sure. But creative should always allow for building in any style, especially for servers and such

@Simon_Hypixel Cyberpunk aesthetics in Hytale? No idea why. I personally don't care, but I don't mind. The more the merrier after all. Yet, you prioritize cyberpunk blocks over adding glass and glass windows? Why?

@ZunkzNet @Algo_Muda @Simon_Hypixel FR, the building community needs updates too. This dude is acting like builder players like you and I don't exist 😂

@Algo_Muda @Simon_Hypixel So not every update will satisfy both sides. The building community has to wait for this update to finally come out to fix issues with the building system since launch. Calm TF down kiddo, not everything is geared towards your play style

@Algo_Muda @Simon_Hypixel Speak for yourself. I and everyone I know has been loving the game. And adding so many new blocks will make building absolutely amazing. Believe it or not, a whole very big side of the community loves building. This new update addresses a LOT of concerns WE have been asking for

@AlexPlsWhy @Simon_Hypixel Redwood logs. Not the redwood wood set. Redwood logs are only available in zone 3

@Simon_Hypixel Could I please ask that you explain your mindset with the farming table log change? Redwood is available in Biome 1, while Drywood is in Biome 2. It made sense for the earlier upgrade to require Redwood. Why did you decide to switch it around and make the later tier the easy one?

@Simon_Hypixel Grass spreading is nice and is fantastic for convenience, but absolutely horrible for landscaping. Is there a way to KEEP grass from spreading? This has the unfortunate side effect of ruining custom biomes, custom terrain, garden detailing, and even other builds that rely on dirt

@KweebecCorner I mean, I would've rather it just not spawn though. It was kinda immersion breaking, especially with this particular structure not being exactly uncommon. I have 3 right next to each other.

That and the fact that there's legit 1 structure in the ENTIRE game with this sign other than in the temple lol
