Xbox "Screenshot uploaded" notification looked like a demon had possessed my Xbox, what could the reason be?

Posted: 21 May 2021 03:50 AM PDT

Yesterday I was testing some button remapping on my controller and saw that you could map "actions" as well, so I mapped the screenshot function to a button to test it.

I activated it, then mapped it back after seeing the notification that the screenshot had been taken, and entered a multiplayer game.

While I was playing, some time later I got a notification that looked like a demon had possessed my Xbox, telling me that the screenshot had been uploaded.

I was unable to take a photo of it because I was busy in multiplayer for quite some time and today the notification is back to normal, so the best way I can describe it is that I used an online "randomizer" to generate some text, and the notification that normally says "Screenshot uploaded to the Xbox network" looked something like this:

S̴͚̒c̴̘͚̑r̵̩͠͝ę̵̰́e̸̤͈͊ṋ̷̯͠s̶̛̱͘h̶͈̭́o̵̞̲͛t̴͔̫͗ ̸̦̑̚ṳ̵̩̿p̶̈́̚͜l̵͖̎ò̶̢̤͆à̷̢͚d̶͈̃̆ę̶͙̿d̷̫̫̿͐ ̸͕̔̀ţ̸̩̾͛o̷̙͔͊ ̴͈̿̉t̸̖͈̃h̸̤̒̈́ê̶͈̪ ̸̡̀̽X̸̠͋b̵̪̀̄o̵͚͚͝x̵̱̪͒ ̵͙̎n̷̠̓e̵̗̠̊t̸̺͙́͠ẘ̵̧̼ǫ̷̋͐r̵̼̯̽k̵͓̬̆̓

It wasn't as bad as the above example but it had lots of these weird accents on every character.

Today the message is back to normal. The Xbox has just been sleeping inbetween, no hard reset or full restart.

Does anyone know why this happened and what the reason was?

This is Xbox Series X.

OK; Scratch "nothing happened inbetween", I now see that there was a system update early this morning. While I don't know if this update fixed anything in this regard, I would assume the console did some kind of restart at the time and my game just continued from Quick Resume.

How to trigger the nature day event?

Posted: 20 May 2021 09:43 PM PDT

My island is a Northern Hemisphere island.

Nature day is a event beginning on 23rd Apr, and ending on 4th May.

My game version is currently 1.10.0

I've set my system date to 22nd April, saved the game, quit, and set the date to 23rd April and started the game. There is no announcement of nature day in the mail or by Isabelle. How do I trigger the nature day event by time-travelling?

In general, how can I trigger past time-based events?

Can I view past clans in Clash Royale?

The question is that simple, I want to find previous clans I've been in. I've looked everywhere on Stats Royale but can't seem to view past clans, only my current clan and everyone in it.

What size should I put in slime.setsize() [closed]

Posted: 20 May 2021 04:14 PM PDT

I want to make the slime's size roughly the size of a full block, I have tried some values but I'm not sure if any of those I tried fit the idea I have. What would you recommend for the size of the slime which roughly matches or matches a block's size.

any help appreciated!

Can I one-shot an Electric or Thunder Wizzrobe with an elemental arrow?

Posted: 20 May 2021 04:26 PM PDT

Wizzrobes come in elemental variants fire, ice, and electric. Interestingly, if you shoot a fire Wizzrobe with an ice arrow, you will instantly kill it and the Wizzrobe drops their weapon. There is a similar idea with ice Wizzrobes; shoot it with a fire arrow and you will instantly kill it.

I was wondering if there was an elemental equivalent to defeat the electric Wizzrobe in one shot? I am aware I could use an ancient arrow, however, the ancient arrow can one shot any common enemy (that is not a boss), so that does not really answer my question.

Can I setup a PS3 to use a PS4 Dual Shock 4 controller without a PS3 controller?

Posted: 20 May 2021 01:37 PM PDT

So I just bought a PS3 Slim but it did not come with a controller. I couldn't find any PS3 controllers so I got a Dual Shock 4 instead.

Is there any way I can use the Dual Shock 4 with the PS3 console without a PS3 controller?

(I'm a Xbox user so I don't know much about this.)

Why do the doors in the Electrical Room change?

Posted: 21 May 2021 01:16 AM PDT

On the Airship, why do the doors in the Electrical Room change their order? It is annoying to navigate through it especially if you are an imposter and you are running away from the body. It's also a danger if we get stuck in a dead end in the electrical room when an imposter is chasing you!

How do I make a redstone lamp flash with a 50% duty cycle?

Posted: 20 May 2021 04:42 PM PDT

Story

I am using a two-hopper redstone clock to make a redstone lamp blink on and off as an indicator. The hopper clock looks like this:

Hopper Clock Still Image

The lamp is supposed to blink on and off at a constant rate to indicate to the user that the item that the lamp represents requires important attention.

Problem

The redstone lamp is expected to have a 50% duty cycle, that is it is on for the same amount of time as it is off. Instead, it stays on for a little longer, like so:

Hopper Clock Working

This is not ideal. The redstone lamp should stay on for the exact same amount of time that it spends turned off.

According to the Minecraft Wiki:

A redstone lamp activates instantly, but takes 2 redstone ticks to turn off (4 game ticks, or 0.2 seconds barring lag).

This means that in my case, the redstone lamp has a 75% duty cycle. This makes the indicator look very sloppy and floppy to the end user. A 50% duty cycle will make the lamp indicator more clean and make the user interface seem more professional.

Core question

What is the most compact way to compensate for the redstone lamp deactivation delay in a fast redstone clock?

There is already a very good answer below, however this question is not closed. If you have a better method, feel free to pitch in!

Answers that will be accepted include:

  • Different clock circuits that have built-in functions to mitigate the redstone lamp.
  • Modular devices that connect to an existing redstone clock to compensate the delay.

Please note that I cannot accept answers that are:

  • Suggestions to use a different clock circuit, but using a compensation method that has already been shown here.
  • Answers that are just images without justification.

How to make mobs not attack each other?

Posted: 20 May 2021 05:38 PM PDT

I'm making a custom boss battle where it spawns mobs to fight for it, but the skeletons attack each other. How can I prevent this from happening in Minecraft 1.16.5?

I am using custom commands to summon the mobs, and I put them on the team EndMobs However, when I tried to spawn it with the tag {Team:EndMobs}, the command output says, "Unable to add mob to team. Are you sure the team exists?"

However, when i tried looking at the team, it said [EndMobs] so I decided to add the mob to [EndMobs] instead, and this time, console didn't throw out an error, so I assumed it worked. However, even if I modify the team with friendly fire off, they still attack each other. When one tries to shoot the player, they end up shooting another mob.

Can you play Plunder mode solo?

Posted: 20 May 2021 06:04 PM PDT

How do you play plunder mode solo? I've seen videos of people playing plunder without a squad. Is that an older option that's no longer in there? I don't see how to do that.

How to summon an invisible falling block in minecraft 1.16.5?

Posted: 21 May 2021 01:52 AM PDT

I'm trying to summon an invisible falling block using a repeating command block to get rid of the shadow created by it, I've tried using ActiveEffects NBT but that isn't seeming to work, here's the code:

What are the rules for mega evolutions in Pokémon go?

Posted: 20 May 2021 11:12 PM PDT

The rules for Pokémon go's mega evolutions have changed over time. There doesn't seem to be any one place in the publisher, Niantic, states all the rules, mechanics and benefits for mega evolutions.

The question is really: what is the complete set of rules that governs how mega evolutions work in Pokémon go?

How to trigger vendors giving level-matched equipment in the Holodome and Claptrap, before Regolith Range?

Posted: 20 May 2021 07:03 PM PDT

How to trigger vendors giving level-matched equipment in the Holodome and Claptrap, before Regolith Range?

Somehow I did it without entering Regolith Range, presumably by just getting to level 8?

I tried the dialogue of Zarpedeon provoking Deadlift to stop the Vault Hunters, and Claptrap's Consciousness after meeting SYS_ADMIN...

Then getting Grenade and Class Mods from Glitch Chests...

Neither changed the vendors' levels...

Is it really getting to Level 8? Or is it something else? I got the Out With A Bang LV5 Challenge, for instance.

How do I use an NBT editor to modify item properties?

Posted: 20 May 2021 11:37 PM PDT

In Minecraft, the NBT (Named Binary Tag) format is used to store data of our Minecraft worlds, including block, entity, and item properties.

In the Java Edition of Minecraft, you can modify this data by including the data in the command, like so:

/give @s diamond_sword{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:knockback",lvl:10s}]}

In the Bedrock Edition, on the other hand, NBT is inaccessible from commands. In order to modify NBT, we need to use an external editor.

What are some useful item properties that I can modify with an NBT editor, and how can I do so?

Minecraft Windows 10 edition testfor command [duplicate]

Posted: 20 May 2021 05:30 PM PDT

In the Windows 10 edition, I'm trying to create a capture the flag (banner) map which detects if the flag has been dropped and replaces it back at that team's base but I can't manage to set up the command. So far I have tried:

/testfor @e[type=Item] {Item:{id:minecraft:banner}}

to receive:

Syntax Error: unexpected "{" at "ype=Item] >>{<<Item{in:m"

I know some commands are slightly different between Bedrock and Java, so I could have the wrong syntax. Also, it would be great if it could detect the colour as well. Please, could someone enlighten me?

Note: It is not the same as the question: Is it possible to use NBT tags in commands in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition? because I want to test for a block, not setting it so you are only able to place it on specific blocks.

It is also not a duplicate of Can you tell if a specific item is dropped? What about its name? as this question was written first, therefore they have asked a duplicate of my answer!

Cannot change villager profession

Posted: 21 May 2021 01:24 AM PDT

So I am curing zombie villagers in hopes to make a librarian.

Here's my process...

  1. I start off with a lit up room for the zombie villager with just a bed in it, with no workstation nearby.
  2. I find a zombie villager, making it follow me into that said room I built with just a bed.
  3. I throw a splash potion of weakness and give it a golden apple
  4. The zombie villager is now cured, but defaults to a tool smith - even with no workstations around or nearby his little room
  5. As there is no current workstation, I put down a lecturer next to the villager in hopes to turn him into a librarian from tool smith, but nothing happens. He remains as a tool smith.

I have tried to do the above on 3 different zombie villagers. All with separate rooms. But all of them defaults to tool smiths.

I watched tutorials and you can change the villager's profession by destroying their current workstation and putting down a new one to reflect the required profession.

So this has raised the below questions -

  1. Why do all the zombie villagers I cure always default to tool smiths even if there are no workstations nearby?
  2. How can I change one into a librarian if they didn't have a workstation in the first place when I cured a zombie villager?

I'm playing version 1.14 on the Xbox One.

How can I join online multiplayer races now that Nintendo WFC has been discontinued?

Posted: 20 May 2021 01:08 PM PDT

In 2014 Nintendo terminated the Nintendo WFC (Wi-Fi Connection) for the Wii console, which has made it impossible for players to join other players online, or use online data in-game.

At least that was what I thought, until I watched a few Mario Kart Wii videos on YouTube. I found recent videos or even live streams that showed the player racing with others online. One example can be found here.

How can I do this? Am I missing something important in the game?

Why won't Eye of Cthulhu spawn?

Posted: 20 May 2021 05:33 PM PDT

When I used the suspicious eye to summon Eye of Cthulhu at night, he wouldn't spawn. Is it a bug or do I need to do anything else? I have full health in red hearts, 13 defense, and I'm using a tungsten broadsword.

Changing Minecraft entity rendering distance

Posted: 21 May 2021 01:08 AM PDT

I've noticed that, on some various servers I play on, entities are not rendered even if I am a short distance away, like ~40 blocks. Other servers I play on seem to be capable of rendering entities at enormous distances. I don't believe it's a server performance thing, as some of the more higher-performance networks I've been on, like Hypixel, have this short render distance as well.

Is there a way to edit this distance? It'd improve various aspects of my gameplay.

possibly related: yesterday, when setting up a small Spigot server on my computer, I noticed "view-distance" (or a similar name) in the server.properties file. Is this the entity render distance? It most likely isn't the regular render distance, because that's easily changeable on clientside from player to player.
