How can I make my summoned mobs despawn?

Posted: 12 Jun 2021 04:52 AM PDT

I am working on a project where I must make an ultimate skyblock map in Minecraft. I am using commands to generate mobs like cows and zombies. However, with the current despawn time in Minecraft, they fill up their islands a lag the game quite badly. Here is an example of what I am doing now: /summon creeper ~ ~ ~ {Age:5900}. This creeper should despawn after only 5 seconds, but it persists. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you in advance, and my version is 1.17.

Increase KSP tooltip text size?

Posted: 12 Jun 2021 02:16 AM PDT

When playing in larger resolutions, UI elements become tiny in KSP. Luckily, with UI Scale and App Scale, things can be increased to a useable size.

However, the tooltips on orbits (e.g. for periapsis/apoapsis/distance informations) remain tiny. Even worse, the large cursor now obstructs most of the text and I often cannot read it.

Is there a way (config, mod) to increase these tooltip text sizes or to show them elsewhere?

Override the PlayStation 4 DualShock Controllers in Windows 10

Posted: 12 Jun 2021 01:23 AM PDT

I'm using a PlayStation 4 DualShock controller on Windows 10. I want to change the controller behaviours for the operating system as a whole.

I want the "O" button to be "pressed" if it's y-axis measures more than 6m/s² via the controllers built-in accelerometer. I want that condition to be applied in every game I play, where the game still sees the button as "O".

Is this possible?

How do I fix my Minecraft sorting machine?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 07:23 PM PDT

I am currently playing on a Minecraft server. I want to build a sorting machine, but the normal sorting machine is not working.

I want to filter all the items which are only stackable up to 16. The sorting system can works if the items stackable up to 16 are above 12 and the items stackable up to 64 are under 48.

Inside the hopper: | 0 | 17 | 1 | 1 | 1 | Items.

For item stackable to 64: reading the hopper with a comparator, it turns off the other comparator at 49.

For items stackable to 16: reading the hopper with a comparator, it turns off the other comparator at 13.

My Idea was to stack the items between 13 and 48. Every item that is stackable up to 64 passes through because it won't turn of the comparator. Every item that is stackable up to 16 is falling down, because it turns off the comparator. I don't have any idea how to stack the items in a hopper between 13 and 48.

How do I modify game1_10.dat to change the seed packages that appear in the top bar?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 06:22 PM PDT

I wanted to make a Python program that modifies which seed packets appear on the top bar in "Roof Survival (hard)".

The file where the level is saved is called "game1_10.dat". I googled how to do it, but didn't find anything. Is it possible to make this modification to a save file? How do I do it?

Tips to make trains more profitable

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 12:59 PM PDT

I struggle to making my trains profitable, to a stupid degree.

On my train lines I always seem to run a deficit of almost a million a month, that I have to catch up with my bus/plane routes.

But that becomes problematic in chapter 13, where its Japan and you don't have much truck routes and the trains they request me having are running a 2-3 million a month.

It really makes me feel that I've missed some basics.

So what are some major points to check to help train routes profitable?

What's the best build for a Ranger in Baldur's Gate 1 EE?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 04:15 PM PDT

I just got The Enhanced Edition of Baldur's Gate on XBOX and I've been meaning to roll a Ranger. However I've never played one before and I wanna know what is the best type of build for one. I'm primarily thinking about staying at range unless the situation absolutely calls for me to get into melee.

Bedrock Add-on Help

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 04:37 PM PDT

I'm trying to create an item. In RP/textures/items, I have its texture. I defined the texture in RP/textures/item_texture.json. In BP/items I defined its behaviors. I kept all these in the development_resource_packs and development_behaviour_packs folder respectively. When I load the game, it doesn't show the items in the creative inventory. It is something like an enchanted egg. I also made other enchanted eggs like turtle and dragon, but all of these never showed up. But all the recipes in BP/recipes are working fine (Except for the recipes for the enchanted eggs)

Here's the texture:[![egg][1]][1]

item_texture.json:

{      "resource_pack_name": "Minecraft++",      "texture_name": "atlas.items",      "texture_data": {          "egg": {              "textures": [                  "textures/items/egg"              ]          },          "diamond": {              "textures": [                  "textures/items/diamond"              ]          },          "turtle_egg": {              "textures": [                  "textures/items/turtle_egg"              ]          },          "dragon_egg": {              "textures": [                  "textures/items/dragon_egg"              ]          }      }  }

soul_egg.json:

{      "format_version": "1.16.100",      "minecraft:item": {          "description": {              "identifier": "mpp:soul_egg",              "category": "nature",              "is_experimental": false          },          "components": {              "minecraft:max_stack_size": 64,              "minecraft:stacked_by_data": true,              "minecraft:foil": true,              "minecraft:icon": {                  "texture": "egg"              },              "minecraft:display_name": {                  "value": "Soul Egg"              },              "minecraft:hover_text_color": "aqua"          },      }  }```        [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Yc87b.png

One Minecraft Skin will not load

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 07:56 AM PDT

I recently created a new Minecraft skin on minecraftskins.com, and every time I load the skin in Minecraft, it is always the Alex skin. I know it is not something to do with 1.17 because I have loaded another skin in the same version and it works, but for some reason the one skin will not load.

Whats the absolute best armor configuration for Minecraft Bedrock?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 12:13 PM PDT

I've looked at another article about this, and it didn't help me too much. The article just left me wondering if it's the same in Bedrock, and is it outdated.

Don’t Get Fired - what’s the point of almost all the upgrades when work comes in so slowly?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 09:02 AM PDT

All of the "working" and "health" skill upgrades help you work faster, but after a few investments in working, you easily go through all the work available and spend half the time just waiting.

So, what's the point of even upgrading further?

Freeze issue when trying to use Nvidia

Posted: 12 Jun 2021 01:36 AM PDT

here's the issue : when I run Minecraft with my Nvidia gtx 1050 instead of Intel graphics it completely freezes a second after spawning. I tried other minecraft launchers, editing the memory allocated (-Xms4096 -Xmx6G !), downloading latest nvidia pilots, editing some settings, and even reinstalling Windows 10 Pro !

One thing is weird, but I think it's important I mention it : before I tried all these things (with my previous installation of Windows which is supposed to be the same) and before the issue it worked : F3 As you can see, it worked even without a lot of memory allocated back then

I hope someone can help me, thank you for reading

In Minecraft, how can you stop items from disappearing?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 07:57 PM PDT

I'm dying pretty recently in Minecraft, and I always have fear that my items will go to waste. I found out at this question that you're able to last with your items 5 minutes before they go away. Five minutes!! That's not a lot, so I want to know if it's possible to extend the amount of time you have, and if it is possible, what are all the ways you can do so?

Note that I don't want any command blocks, and I'm playing in a Survival world.

What is "Horse and Pony II", created by the Battlefield devs (Refraction Games)?

Posted: 12 Jun 2021 04:48 AM PDT

Refraction Games were a company who famously developed "Codename Eagle", the precursor to modern Battlefield games. Shortly after its release, the developers were bought by DICE and went on to develop the original "Battlefield 1942".

According to the Battlefield wiki, Refraction Games only created a handful of other games:

  • Volvo V70 Racing
  • Horse and Pony II
  • Legacy of Rosemond Hill

I can find information online about Volvo V70 Racing and Legacy of Rosemond Hill, but there doesn't seem to be any information anywhere about "Horse and Pony II". The only relevant google result is the above wiki page.

Does this game actually exist? What sort of game was it? Have any videos/images/descriptions survived?

Minecraft (and Java) loading problems

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 05:29 PM PDT

Ok so whenever I try to join any Minecraft server, I can not:

  • Load chunks (Chunks I loaded before this issue show up normally)
  • View skins (Skins I loaded before this issue also show up normally)

And I have tried everything to fix this problem
Things I have tried:

  • Reinstalling Minecraft
  • Reinstalling Java
  • Running antivirus to check for malware/adware
  • Turning off antivirus and firewall
  • Adding minecraft to exclude lists on antivirus
  • Allocate more memory to minecraft (Resulted in my game crashing)

One thing I also noticed is when I try to use gradle for java it does not connect. For example when I try to use Mcreator it just fails to connect, or when I tried to build gradle in intelliji for making a fabric mod it just said Connection timed out: no further information.

Can anyone please tell me what is going on? This is super annoying.

EDIT - More problems (1.17 does not install):

I tried installing 1.17 and it failed, here is the error message:

Name: blocklist-1.0.5.jar  URL: https://libraries.minecraft.net/com/mojang/blocklist/1.0.5/blocklist-1.0.5.jar  Error details: Failed to connect to libraries.minecraft.net port 443: Timed out  Filename on disk: blocklist-1.0.5.jar  Path: C:\Users\(my name)\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\libraries\com\mojang\blocklist\1.0.5\blocklist-1.0.5.jar  Exists: Nonexistent

This probably has something to do with it, because I have never had trouble installing new versions before this issue.
I thought maybe something was blocking libraries.minecraft.net, but after adding it to my antivirus's ignore list and turning off my firewall it still did not work.

This problem is really beggining to get on my nerves, my friends are starting an smp that I want to be part of, but I can't because I can not play 1.17 or load chunks on older versions. I would be very grateful for anybody who would help solve this problem (I will be adding a bounty as soon as I can).

Minecraft Server - Specifying java version usage with flag

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 06:00 PM PDT

Problem

I want to run two servers, one in 1.17 using Java 16 and the other in 1.12.2 using Java 8.

The argument I want to use in the .bat file is "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_291\lib" -jar but it doesn't work.

.bat

The full .bat is as such.

@ECHO OFF  java -Xms10G -Xmx10G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:-OmitStackTraceInFastThrow -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch  -XX:G1NewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=40 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=8M -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 -XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=8 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=15 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 -XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=5 -XX:SurvivorRatio=32 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1 -Dusing.aikars.flags=true -Daikars.new.flags=true "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_291\bin\java.exe" -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2855.jar --nogui  pause

Error message

The error given is:

Error: Could not find or load main class C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_291\bin\java.exe  Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_291\bin\java.exe

I don't know how to resolve the error of the java class not being found.

Additional details

I am running JRE 16 and Java 8 on the same computer. Only the 1.17 servers start with this installation set up.

The 1.12.2 server starts when I uninstall JRE 16.

PS2 disc barely spinning read error

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 06:34 PM PDT

I recently bought 3 old used ps2 discs, and all of them get the same error. "The disc could not be read." I am using a ps2 slim. Some games work on my ps2, but all of these dont. The only difference I noticed between the ones that work and the ones that dont, is that when i open the disc drive while the disc is reading, the ones that work are spinning fast, and the ones that dont are barely spinning. Is there a way to fix this? (the discs are pretty scratched, but so are some ones that work)

Update: I put the disc in my pc, and it was able to read it, not sure if that means its my ps2 thats the problem or not.

What are the consequences of dying on foot?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 10:56 AM PDT

When your ship is destroyed in the base game, you have to pay to replace it. So before, death had a very obvious cost since it was listed in your ship status screen.

However, in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, they have introduced infantry combat, which means you can die without destroying a vehicle. What are the consequences of dying on foot?

How does the Little Sister Madness mechanic work in Dragon Star Varnir?

What exactly is it that increases the Little Sisters' madness levels in Dragon Star Varnir? Picking up chests, number of battles, time spent, or what?

Minecraft give effect when stand on a certain block in a 10 by 10 range

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 04:32 PM PDT

I'm trying to make a base that that when someone enters it they get glowing so that I can see them.

I don't want the effect to be permanent and the effect should be given only when being on that block. If that player steps away from a 10x10 area around the block they should then no longer have the glowing effect. Is there a command to do something of the sort?

Proslife PS4 Controller Bluetooth Not Working On Windows 10

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 05:16 PM PDT

My Proslife controller works in-game over USB but not via Bluetooth. It is connected to the PC via Bluetooth and the input test works when running JOY.CPL, it even works on the controller menu in Steam settings. But in-game, the controller is not detected. It also doesn't seem to be detected by DS4Windows. Please help, I am losing hope.

Restore saved worlds from PS4 Minecraft to new copy of the game

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 06:06 PM PDT

Our old Minecraft disk is scratched and hardly readable (needs toothpaste treatment on every insert) so we bought a new disk, thinking we could switch to that without problem. But the console (PS5, but the games are PS4 version) treats them as two separate applications.

The problem is that the old worlds are only visible when playing from the old disk, and it treats the new disk as a completely different save folder - nothing visible there.

How can I move the old worlds to the new copy of the game?

I tried backing up to a USB from old and new, and I can see that the saved worlds from each version are in two separate folders, CUSA00744 and CUSA00265. I tried to move the old worlds to the new folder, but if I do that it complains that the save data is corrupt.

Just to be clear: both the old worlds and the new worlds are in Bedrock format, so that is not the issue.

Why do my armor plates only insert 1 even when I'm holding down the armor plates button?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 07:05 PM PDT

I'm using PC and at some point something changed in my setup so that when press and hold the bottom to insert my armor plates (F10 on my machine), it will insert just 1 plate. In the past, if I pressed and held the button, it will keep inserting plates until I was full, but at some point it stopped doing this.

What setting should I change to get this feature back?

How can I change the recipe to make it Unbreakable?

Posted: 11 Jun 2021 06:01 PM PDT

The code is right there but basically I want to make it where it makes the diamond sword unbreakable and also with a name.

{      "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped",      "pattern": [          " # ",          " # ",          " / "      ],      "key": {          "#": {              "item": "minecraft:obsidian"          },          "/": {              "item": "minecraft:blaze_rod"          }      },      "result": {          "item": "minecraft:diamond_sword",          "count": 1      }  }

Why does Calamity Ganon have Daruk's Protection?

Posted: 12 Jun 2021 02:19 AM PDT

In the cut scenes for Mipha, Daruk, and Revali, it is made clear that each of their respective powers (healing, protection, upwards draft) is an ability unique to them (if not genetic as Daruk's offspring also have his ability of protection). When clearing the Divine Beasts their spirits transfer these gifts to you (i.e. they are willfully given).

So how come, when facing Calamity Ganon, he has the ability of Daruk's Protection? Yes he has other elemental abilities, but he displays none of the other Champions' powers.

unlimited magic glitch?

Posted: 12 Jun 2021 04:42 AM PDT

I was fighting a druagr Deathlord in a dungeon (where they are mostly found), and I'd been disarmed. I used unrelenting force to shout him onto a ledge. I took the opportunity to heal myself with some magic, and I realized that it was not depleting despite my having used the spell. The draugr was stuck on the ledge for some reason, so I bombarded him with flames until he died (still having full magic despite having used flames). My question is: Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, have they figured out how to replicate it? I know it's a glitch, but some glitches can be enacted on purpose.
