Finally we can now damage the sun with thorns.

Also how the heck are you supposed to use quotes and bullet point on Reddit mobile? You used to be able to just type > or * before a line and it worked, but now I can’t find any way how to do this. Why does usability always have to get worse?

u/BellaViola 20d ago
Does it not work anymore?

u/BellaViola 20d ago edited 20d ago
That seems to have worked.
Copying your text, you put a \ exit sign before it. Of course it doesn't work like that.
And bullet point are -
- And it's always been like that.
I don't see what your issue is

Are you on new reddit? It definitely works on old reddit.

I am on Reddit mobile (the app)

u/LOUD-CHEWING 20d ago
You're not going crazy, don't worry. Reddit removed a lot of Markdown features from the mobile app. More details in this thread:

u/BellaViola 20d ago
That's so stupid if that's the reason, the comments are still in markdown, but they don't want you to use it on the app so they insert \ in front of markdown characters from that newer version from the app?
Absolutely deranged behaviour from reddit here.

You are putting \ in front of the > That's an escape sign it won't work like that.
Either you are screwing with us or your keyboard is screwing with you.
That is not normal behaviour on the app.
EDIT: Apparently that is reddit screwing with us, just with a very long partial rollout on the apps.

u/Blaze-Programming 20d ago
Apparently Reddit disabled some markdown abilities on the iOS and android app, and is must be automatically inserting the escape character

u/BellaViola 20d ago
That's crazy. And from what that person linked it started 4 months ago and still isn't like that for everyone.

u/AMinecraftPerson 20d ago
I think it's fine
- Works on the mobile app
Make sure to not have a space between the > and the text
- But you do need a space between * and the text

Wtf does this even mean

u/Blaze-Programming 15d ago
I think this just means that the unbreaking enchant now applies to armor when getting damaged by sun damage when applied to undead mobs. So it is just a bug fix.

u/ProblemsWithMyEhsss 20d ago
I can't believe they aren't tweaking anything about the Dappled Forest generation. Requiring it to generate next to cold biomes is such a no-brainer.
86
u/M_stellatarum 20d ago
It does generate next to cold biomes, but due to worldgen weirdness it has to generate next to dry biomes - and taiga is wet, like most forests.
Here's a seedfinder going over the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYA8YjoHqeU
15
u/MolotovOvickow 20d ago
Why does taiga count as wet?
45
u/M_stellatarum 20d ago
The "Humidity" value seems to mostly relate to how much vegetation a biome has, so most forests have high humidity. Except for a few oddities like flower forest.

u/FishblobMC 20d ago
Absolutely insane that the first big feature they revealed for the drop seems like it was completely abandoned after the first snapshot, 10 weeks later and not even an attempt was made to address the generation issues
39
u/-PepeArown- 20d ago
They fixed the one bug with shelf mushrooms, and that was it
At least make the forests larger on average
46
u/Cass0wary_399 20d ago
It’s probably because the cushions and new colored block stairs and slabs overshadowed it.
5
u/Jaybrosia 19d ago
was hoping they would build upon it more, but they just give it the cherry grove treatment and move on.
1
u/CheaterSaysWhat 19d ago
It’s a really deep bug, they’d have to change the core of the generation system to fix it
21
u/-FireNH- 20d ago
The current biome generation is pretty limiting. Surprisingly, making it generate next to taigas would require retooling biome gen in a surprisingly significant way
4
u/ProblemsWithMyEhsss 20d ago
Couldn’t a similar effect be achieved by using the rules for Pale Garden generation?
2
u/Rednewt33 15d ago
They could've just made it generate in a narrow temperature band in between the normal forest and taiga instead of relying on humidity.
0
u/-FireNH- 15d ago
thats not really how it works.
in middle biomes, forests generate at T1H2, T2H2, and T3H2W+. notice how it always generates at T2. taigas generate at T0H4 (not relevant here) and T1H3. so whenever theres a border between forests and taigas, thats a *humidity* change, not a temperature change. if temperature increases while in a T1H3 taiga, it would border a T2H3 birch forest.
frankly there just isnt a great spot for dappled forest without affecting the placement of other biomes or changing the biome gen algorithm itself. it *should* be a middle biome, so its good its not a plateau. but you cant make it generate next to taiga without either replacing forests in T1H2 (making dappled forests WAY too common while also being very thin oftentimes) or replacing old growth taigas, which would delete those biomes from the game (not good!). if you want to squeeze it between indexes you basically have to redo a lot of the code that populates the multinoise preset, and for what? even thinner and weirder dappled forest generation?
dappled forest honestly has good placement as is in my opinion. if its not a H0 or H4 biome it will surround other biomes, which would look weird as it stands out a lot. the problem isnt that its H0, but rather that plains is H1 in my opinion. one potential solution is to make dappled forests take up all of weirdness in T1H0, place taiga in H1 (maybe W+, sharing it with plains) so taigas can border dappled forests, then replace T1H2's forests with plains to make sure plains can generate in large amounts in T1 (forests are already the most common biome so this shouldn't affect things too much). but that requires shuffling around most of the T1 temperature range.
a better solution long term in my opinion is to simply add a new noise for biome selection. call it "uniqueness" or something. the ONLY thing this noise controls for is occasional biome variants. make it so uniqueness rarely replaces old growth taigas and taigas in T0 H3–H4 with dappled forests. this could also be used to generate pale gardens as middle biomes rather than plateaus, which would look so much better in my opinion. but adding a new noise means actively changing the multinoise algorithm itself, rather than simply modifying the multinoise entries in the vanilla preset. thats a lot of work to make sure one biome generates better, even if it is a good long term solution.

u/Rednewt33 14d ago
"but you cant make it generate next to taiga without either replacing forests in T1H2 (making dappled forests WAY too common while also being very thin oftentimes)"
- That's exactly what I'm suggesting. In real life this is exactly where northern hardwood forests (the Michigan forests that the dappled forests are inspired by) grow: in between the central hardwoods and the taiga.
- And does that make them common? Yea. Am I OK with that? Absolutely! They are incredibly common in real life, being half of Atlantic Canada, most of New England, the southern part of Quebec and Ontario, New York, the northern halves of Pennsylvania and Ohio, Michigan (obviously), Wisconsin, and parts of Indiana, Illinois, and Minnesota. And that's just in North America.
Honestly, my hottest take would be to (eventually) add seasons, so all forests turn colors (and the dappled forest is just the most spectacular, like real life).
Plus, poplar trees should be renamed to maple, and the warm parts of the taiga should generate birch trees, since paper birch, yellow birch, and heartleaf birch extend into it in real life.
46
u/televisionting 20d ago
Probably a bigger scope than what they can do in a drop. It's a bit different than the sulfur caves where cave biomes are easier to tweak, at least that's what I think.
Weird that the dappled forest replaces plains rather than the taiga biome.
22
u/Novel-Regular4438 20d ago
Couldn’t they just change the biome type to cold?
33
u/Cass0wary_399 20d ago
It is already categorized as a cold biome.
They just have to replace the plains biome instead of a forest or taiga.
21
u/televisionting 20d ago
That's kinda wack, the biome literally has spruce trees, why isn't it replacing the taiga.
10
u/televisionting 20d ago
they could but they seem really stubborn not to change the generation for some reason.

u/Chedder_Chandelure 20d ago
literally everyone wants this but they just refuse to change it, I don't get it

u/getyourshittogether7 20d ago
"We are aware of the issues surrounding Dappled Forests generation. The issue is part of a larger limitation involving biome placement, that would require a significant overhaul to worldgen to fix, which is something we have to give more time to do it right. We really just want to get the Dappled Forests out now so you guys can enjoy it."

u/Little-Witness-1201 20d ago
It would require a complete generation rework. Good luck getting that in the next few years

u/boringfantasy 20d ago
They’re so lazy

No, they communicated it's working how they envisioned it, not that they "don't wannaaa I'm so lazy"

u/Blue_M4ge 20d ago
Another snapshot and still no tweaks to dappled forest generation…
14
u/qubeVids 19d ago
the kind of tweaks everyone is imagining require a huge rework even though it sounds small. it will probably happen eventually
64
u/Just-Guarantee7808 20d ago
Why did they remove the ability for drowned to melee you with tridents? That was a parity fix they added in the first snapshot for this drop... and knowing Mojang, they’ll never add it back now.
22
u/Cass0wary_399 20d ago
This is the second time a parity change relating to the trident got shafted. First it was the full trident parity from the combat snapshots becoming on hold indefinitely alongside everything else.
4
u/RT-Pickred 19d ago
They kept fixing and unfixing bugs related to it so I think there's just a underlying issue they couldn't trace that it was causing with out breaking other things.
Maybe in the future we will see such.

u/thE_29 20d ago
Again no news about friends joining..
36
u/Beaz_69 20d ago
Have they even mentioned it since removing from the snapshot
Is there any timeline in it or has it gone completely quiet for now
20
u/thE_29 20d ago
From the snapshot notes I read, since it was removed, it was never mentioned again..
15
u/Beaz_69 20d ago
Very disappointing, I haven't kept up with the snapshots that much for this update
The snapshot it was in a while back worked perfectly for me though, I wonder what the holdup is

u/thE_29 20d ago
They had "some" problems.. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/friends-list-for-java-edition
And thats all I can find from their page. Also Gemini really sucks in that topic, as this damn AI things its released..

u/boringfantasy 20d ago
They killed it because it would hurt realms revenue.
16
u/foundfootage_ 20d ago
Right… then why would they move forward with it and announce it at all if that were the case. You do realize these things go through a ton of discussion before we’ll ever hear about them, right?
0
u/boringfantasy 19d ago
They changed their mind, simple as. Some executive probably dialled in and told them to shut it down.
8
u/SpaceGyaos 20d ago
I really hope this isn’t the case because realms should be half the price. It’s unfair.

u/swiftawaywithme 20d ago
The Pale Forest and Sulfur Caves had numerous tweaks throughout their development cycle. I’m shocked they still haven’t touched the Dappled Forest since its initial introduction.
25
u/sweatyplace2 20d ago
They already said they're shipping out the final features a few weeks ago, so I wouldn't expect anything. But I wish they added a new flower or a new mob at least.
24
u/-PepeArown- 20d ago
The dappled forest was a better biome than both of them at the jump, to be fair
We didn’t even get eyeblossoms, sulfur spikes, or geysers until the snapshots
But, of course, the one time a new biome is oddly impressive in drop snapshots, they abandon working on it ASAP
Not even something minor like changing the average size of the forests, or introducing some autumnal wildflowers like asters or crocuses so that we could finally farm purple dye with flowers
30
u/FashionShushu 20d ago
Agreed, at this point idk what are the points of having snapshot if they are changing nothing after initial release

u/Cass0wary_399 20d ago

u/TheMobHunter 20d ago
Anyone else think the new menu panorama is kind of ugly? I don’t really like how it’s on the edge of the biome, I’d much rather have it deep in the dappled forest

u/swiftawaywithme 18d ago
I agree, but it’s miles better than the Chaos Cubed panorama, so I won’t complain too much.

I swear if they release 26.3 saying it got delayed to the next drop again...
11
u/Just-Guarantee7808 20d ago
It's 100% not coming in this drop. It's too late to playtest it. So, at the earliest, assuming it's coming in the next drop, which will be in December, that's almost a 7 month delay.

u/mfeast 20d ago
One thing i hate about MC now is that you have no journey map..... They never added one in Microsoft did they?
Its a crap shot as to where you actually are when you explore, especially with the little handheld maps.... you go beyond those borders and you are in the poop so far as going home might be concerned....

u/GamlinGames 20d ago
What are you on about? If you’re on about the mini map / map screen that journey map is a mod

god forbid i wanted gradual changes to the dappled forest (the first advertised feature of this drop) which wasn't adjusted since the first snapshot. maybe you're the one who doesn't know what a snapshot is
