Lava Concentration at Y=5

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 03:41 AM PDT

I recently watched some Minecraft youtubers make videos on how diamonds spawn more frequently at y = 5, 6 rather than y = 11, 12 as of the JE 1.17 update. So, I wanted to test this on my survival world. However, whenever I go down to y = 5, I seem to find a lot of lava, with the lava sources being at y = 8, 9 mostly. It is quite the hassle to clear out the lava. So, I had a second thought about making diamond mining efficient at y = 5. My main question goes like this: Is there any stat on the lava concentration at y = 5 (or at any y value in general). I would have made stats myself if I knew the use of coding to experiment with the world, but unfortunately I don't. Knowing the stats can help in actually determine the superiority of y = 5 or y = 11 mathematically. Thanks in advance.

How can I stop Minecraft Launcher from requiring Microsoft sign-in every launch?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 11:55 PM PDT

My son plays Minecraft Java Edition on Kubuntu 20.04. Up until recently (a couple weeks ago), it would always log him in automatically. Then, it stopped doing this, and prompted him to choose "Microsoft account" or "Mojang account."

Also, in the course of trying to sign in with the Microsoft account, "X" would pop up a zillion messages saying "the password you use to log into your computer no longer matches that of your login keyring." (No, the unix login password was never changed.) I got rid of those messages by deleting (actually moving aside) the file ~/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring; the next time we logged him into the Minecraft launcher with the Microsoft account there was a system prompt to enter a password with which to create a new default keyring, so we put in his unix login password for that on the basis of the earlier error message. (The new keyring had "Default" in the name; it wasn't called "login.keyring" anymore but I don't think that's important.)

This seemed to work fine, the launcher showed his Minecraft name in the list and after clicking it, he got the normal launcher screen with a big "play" button.

However, I wanted to test further so I logged out of his Linux account and logged in again. After that, starting the Minecraft launcher newly again showed the "Mojang account" or "Microsoft account" choice, i.e. he wasn't kept logged in. Maybe the keyring wasn't unlocked?

Does anyone know how to permanently resolve this? So far as I can tell nothing was changed locally between the time when it was auto-logging him in and the time when it started prompting for Microsoft sign-in every launch.

(Although, one thing that occurs to me is that it's very rare for him to log out of the Linux account rather than just lock it and put the computer to sleep, so maybe there's some step that needs to happen to unlock the keyring after he logs in? But I don't recall ever doing that before, and he's played for months; I don't think two weeks ago was the first time he's signed out the Linux account since starting Minecraft for the first time.)

Is there a standardized rating system for game difficulty?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 06:43 PM PDT

I was recently reading about the various game content rating systems in place in various areas of the world. When describing the PEGI system, Wikipedia observes, "The age rating does not indicate the difficulty of the game or the skill required to play it.". The overview of the North American ESRB rating system, by its focus on content factors (such as violence and sexuality), implies that game difficulty is not a factor there either.

That really makes me wonder - is there some sort of standardized scale or rating system to describe the difficulty level of a game as opposed to the level of mature content in the game? I recall playing many games in the 1980's that were wickedly hard compared to the games of today - you had to twitch that joystick just right repeatedly for several pulse-pounding minutes to advance to the next stage, but the content was much tamer than today - no blood or nudity to speak of, extremely minimal use of four-letter words, etc. Such games would merit very low ratings on the ESRB or PEGI scales but are probably very inappropriate for little children.

To be clear, I'm very aware that designing a workable scale or framework for rating game difficulty is itself a challenging task. That's why I'm curious if such a framework meaningfully exists at all, even if it has known flaws or is not very well respected.

Check players permission-level

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 02:53 PM PDT

I am currently working on a minecraft map for realms, and was wondering if there is any way to check a players op/permission level.

In a minigame, no one has operator permissions except the owner who is an operator with level 0 in order to be able to get into the server when it's full, and settings cannot be changed. Control panels normally designed to be used by operators may need to be updated to allow any player to use them.

(From the minecraft atlas guidelines page)

So how do I check if a player is operator? (Through datapacks/commands)

Thanks in advance

What does it mean when on the left side I see armour with 2 red swords?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 01:33 PM PDT

I am very confused and I want to know what it means, but also if it means like 'broken swords', how and where can I fix them?

Can I remove all blood on Monster Hunter Tri?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 02:26 AM PDT

I've heard that there is options to remove blood in this game, but I want to make sure this removes all the blood, player and monster, and not just some of it. Is there a way to have a blood free experience?

Just to make sure there's no confusion, I'm referring to the wii exclusive monster hunter game.

Is Steam obligated to provide downloads of games for life (of the Steam account holder)?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 05:44 PM PDT

Also, what happens to your Steam library if Steam goes out of business?

I learned the hard way that the Apple iTunes app store is a `marketplace' and, after the first time you download a game, you have no recourse if the app is removed from their servers and the developer does not respond to e-mails (see Is it possible to copy an app from an ipad back to a Mac/PC in cases where you didn't keep the .ipa file?). Digital downloads on Xbox 360 came with a similar warning but Microsoft's policy might have changed with backwards compatibility.

Perhaps digital games are like a good bottle of wine -- you never buy one, only rent it.

Last gift in Brunch Canyon

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 08:08 PM PDT

The gift NPC says there is one more gift/outfit in Bunch Canyon's seven screens, but I've been through all the flowers and don't see any hidden gifts. I have the one behind the corrupt tree (up the waterfall) but I imagine there's just a really hidden one--where is it?

How much Lore/Story is currently available in Diablo Immortal?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 04:31 PM PDT

So at this stage, Diablo Immortal has been released into Alpha for the general public. After having played it a bit, I found that it was not for me.

However, I am an avid follower of the Lore and Story in the Diablo series, and am very keen to know what Immortal adds to the storyline. For example, what I do know so far is:

How much story/lore have they provided so far, in the initial Alpha release?

how to make a halfling manticore rider?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:47 AM PDT

I've found the Halfling Manticore Rider in the Tome of Wonders.
It's the only t4 halfling unit I could find.
However I cannot find what must be done to actually make the unit.
What chain of buildings grants access?

I see the unit becomes available when you build the Great Beast Lair.
But I don't have that building available in my other game.
Is it that this building/unit can only be build by a halfling warlord?

What circumstances grant me the Nice/Great/Excellent catch from my Buddy?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 04:48 PM PDT

So when the buddies came out, they were given bonuses like being able to bounce the ball back at the Pokémon you are trying to catch, for a guaranteed hit. However lately, I have noticed that I am rarely getting the "Nice", "Great" or "Excellent" bonuses from this anymore, whereas originally it would be pretty much guaranteed.

Is this intended functionality, and if so, what are the circumstances (i.e. percent chance, or timing?) that do allow me to gain the extra benefits of a Nice/Great/Excellent throw when my Buddy hits the ball back at the Pokémon I am trying to catch?

EDIT: I'll point out the obvious, and go through the steps of what (should) happen, then clarify my issues.

  1. I wait until the circle is small enough for a Great/Excellent throw
  2. I throw the ball, and the Pokémon "attacks", deflecting the throw. This also makes the circle "disappear" during the animation.
  3. My Buddy Pokémon bounces the ball back. This always hits the Pokémon dead center of where the circle would be.

From what I've seen, this does not always award the throw bonus (nice/great/excellent), either as part of the catch animation, or as part of the report on a successful catch. It does sometimes, other time it doesn't, and I don't know why it's inconsistent.

Custom Minecraft 1.8 spawners

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 03:02 PM PDT

I am working on a minecraft 1.8 server and am trying to make a mob spawner that spawns items. This example:How can I make a spawner that summons Items? works on new versions of minecraft but not on 1.8. It seems that any mob spawners placed down by command blocks don't work. The following command:

/setblock ~ ~1 ~ mob_spawner 0 replace {SpawnData:{id:zombie},Delay:299}

Creates an empty mob spawner that does not spawn anything. I am using minecraft forge with worldedit but no other mods. How can I fix this?

Does taking a quest from Giants incur some penalty with Dragons in one's domain (and vice versa)?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:49 AM PDT

The quest says I need do kill some of these arrogant lizards. I guess it shouldn't make lizards dwelling in my domain too happy, right? :)

When does Rao turn Evil?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 05:17 PM PDT

So, as part of the "second chapter" of the Okami story, after you defeat Orochi, you are helped by the Priestess Rao, who is trying to recover the Fox Rods.

However, after recovering the Dragon Orb, you also find that the Water Dragon swallowed the Fox Rods. This is when you see an apparition of Rao guiding you through a shortcut back to the Imperial Palace, to visit Queen Himiko. Here, you find that Rao has been killed/possessed by the Ninetails.

When is Rao replaced by Ninetails in the storyline?

Managing masters dailies tiers

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 10:02 PM PDT

Yesterday I've finish T6 map and went to sleep in hope that today I'll start doing yellow dailies. But no:

All yellow tiers are 0.

Wiki say:

Each day five new master missions will be presented on the Atlas after the reset at 5pm MST (GMT-7) based on the player's last completed map tier with a range of +1/-1 tier.

My question:

Was I just unlucky that all masters decided to do -1 map tier ? Or is it rolled once for all of them?

My additional thoughts below (can be ignored when answering):

Tooltip in atlas is as generic as it can be:

will accumulate daily based on the tier of the last map you completed

This doesn't imply finishing white T5 map could give yellow daily. Nor opposite.

Pretty dissaponted with this GGG innovation, I could have done T7 map if I'd know that tricky to guess rule. If I'd be their programmer I'd make it based on Zana quest line progress, giving +1 daily per tier once it's unlocked (white - once zana quest started after completing T1 map, yellow - after completing shaped T6 map, red - after completing elder T9 map).

Swap content from old freighter to new freighter?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:24 AM PDT

How can I swap all the content of my old freighter to a new one?

I think about all my storage containers, hydroponic trays, fleet command rooms (all the things which I can not teleport on the GUI).

What about all my frigates?

Is there a reward for collecting Birdie Medals in Golf Story?

Posted: 19 Jul 2021 12:43 AM PDT

Whenever you manage to score a birdie or lower on a hole, you can earn a medal for that hole, which can be seen when viewing the scorecard for that course.

The medals come in three tiers:

  • Silver Medal - Birdie (1 under par)
  • Gold Medal - Eagle (2 under par)
  • Rainbow Medal - Albatross (3 under par)

Is there any reward for collecting these medals?

Most effective use of coupons and ingots for increasing power

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 06:01 PM PDT

Nearing 35K power, I've accumulated 6000 coupons and 1000 ingots and I'm wondering what the most effective purchases are to increase power.

Should I focus on purchasing more powerful ninjas, leveling up battle armor, buying charms?

How can I get the most out of my stock of currency?

Is it possible to remove specific quests?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 12:16 PM PDT

I want to do a replay of Skyrim, but I don't want to play the same quests again, as I'm tired of them. Is there a way to remove the quests I don't want to play? I'd probably supplement the game with community-created quests.

Can I play GTA IV TBOGT with a standard GTA IV?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 03:55 PM PDT

My episodes of Liberty City on Xbox doesn't load because of a reading error, I was wondering if I could install the Niko Bellic GTA onto my hard drive and play The Ballad Of Gay Tony? I still have the episodes of liberty city game.

How do I examine the door in Mass Effect 2?

Posted: 18 Jul 2021 01:22 PM PDT

In the very first mission, after meeting Jacob, I am stuck at a job which says Examine Door. The current job is to defeat the hacked mechs whose army appears to be endless. There appears to be no end to their attack and the map leads to the door which says Examine Door. I am stuck. What shall I do?
