minecraft has confirmed it in minecraft live
EDIT: Ok of course as soon as I post this I get a trident. But, I definitely had to change my strategy up. I found a river biome at night and used a rinse-and-repeat strategy of generated as many drowned, killing any trident holders, then going really high up with an elytra and despawning them. Still, I had to kill like 7 more trident holders before getting one, which only reinforces how unlucky I was (<5% worst chances). That is---10% of people have killed as many drowned as I have without getting a trident.
Original:
Not a support thread. I've killed like 15 drowned holding tridents with a Fire Aspect II, Smite V, Looting III sword and gotten zero tridents. The wiki claims 11.5% is the success rate with my enchantments, but plugging that into a binomial distribution puts my case in the unlucky 15%. I refuse to cave in and build a useless farm for just this item. (I've found 4 trident-holding drowned in the last hour, so the number is higher).
It also doesn't help at all that drowned do not spawn in our Realm, unless you find some underwater ruins. It might be due to some chunk loading elsewhere from a Zombie Piglin farm (I blame my friend), but surely that's more than 15 chunks away? Ugh!
Fucking Mojang...
Cool pic provided as a reward for reading that drivel
The enhanced version of ClassiCube seems to handle the low amounts of VRAM better than the Classic version, which is nearly unplayable. It seems like that’s where the actual development is happening.
You can change controls, use resource packs, join multiplayer, chat in public, save worlds, place liquids, custom blocks, change skins, go into third person, fly and speed hack, change graphical settings, and play custom plugins on servers. Cons are that download speeds on servers can be low (resource packs are 2012 speeds) and you can sometimes run out of sysRAM or VRAM while joining a custom world once leaving a lobby.
The game also freezes up at times during loading. This could be helped by using a second thread to actually do this work and give the user a more interactive progress screen for any behind the scenes stuff, which is currently opaque. Besides that, it’s really impressive, and much more than what I expected from the old 3DS with only 128 MB RAM and 6 MB VRAM.
Do you have any minigames in mind that you used to like which you cant play anywhere anymore? Suggest them here, from these suggestion we will hold a vote and recreate the minigame, open source it and host it!
As an example we already remade a basic version of the old Cores and BowBash. To discuss or for more information you can chat in the Matrix space or come try the modes on goodoldmc.com
You may have seen my earlier post saying that i was trying to bring back some old gamemodes that became lost in time, Cores is now playable again after many years as ReCored!
Modrinth waiting for aproval https://modrinth.com/mod/recored
I also have it running on my server if you want to try it IP: goodoldmc.com
If you can contribute in anyway or want to discuss and/or add other old gamemodes to be remade, i invite you all to the matrix space
Edit: its working now https://github.com/Arda501/ReCored
Maybe you remember a gamemode from the 1.8 days called Cores or under a different name. The one I grew up with was played in a German server called gommehd.net, the mode has been gone for years and they even declined to sell me the code and I could never find a different server with it.
Cores is similar to bedwars, but always only 2 Teams of various sizes, each team has 2 Cores (beacons) as long they exist you have infinite respawns and once they're mined the game is over. Mining a core take a long time and thus defending it is fairly easy and you have to build and attack with multiple people to successful mine one. This results often in either matches that are over in an instant or that go on for so long that all islands become fully build and overtime the battlefield starts looking like world war 1 trenches. There is some loot on the map, in middle and outer islands and at certain times other loot and bosses spawn, this makes it kind of similar to a moba, you can farm and make your team stronger which will often be needed if both sides are good enough.
I'll admid that the whole code will be mostly vibecoded as I can't code much but since its a fairly simple mode I expect it to work well, I already got the basics working and will open source or and host it on my own server aswell once it's finished. If anyone would like to help make maps for it let me know, you can see an example in the picture, its islands based.
Are there any other old gamemodes that have become lost in times you guys remember? After this I'm going to start recreating a nieche mode that was called bow bash, and I plan to make my server an archive of these old gamemodes of there's enough interest
did you use a random or pre-selected seed?
did you allow friends or play solo?
will you reset chunks to make room for new biomes/terrain features with updates?
what mods did you use?
what difficulty did you select?
what gamerules did you change?
how long has it been going?
