Can see block textures instead of my minecraft skin

Posted: 30 Jul 2021 01:55 AM PDT

block textures in minecraft show up as my skin

Sometimes, my skin shows up properly. Other times, it is like this. I don't know what's wrong. Other people on the server don't seem to have any such problem.

I'm using ATLauncher. MC version: 1.16.5.

How to delete Steam Cloud save files?

Posted: 30 Jul 2021 12:47 AM PDT

Beacuse this question has no answers anywhere, that actually works, I am asking it once again: How can one delete save files from the dreaded Steam Cloud?

I have written a ticket to Steam Support, however, they failed to respond to it within 3 days.

I have tried the method that can be found on many 3rd party websites, namely, deleting the files from my %APPDATA% and Steam/userdata, then forcing a resync, however, all that did, is redownload every single file I have deleted. So that doesn't work.

I am currently not able to play Motorsport Manager because I am not willing to waste MANY gigabytes of write occurances on my SSD's lifecycle, and deleting >1000 files from the ingame menu, let's just say I'd rather stab myself in the balls than to use that shite interface, deleting files 1 by 1...

So I'd like to have someone help me that was able to achieve this feat (yes, with Steam Cloud, it's a feat to delete files from... pathetic but true) in the 2020s onwards.

Thank you in advance :)

I summoned a no gravity potion in my world and don't know how to remove it. Is there any command I can type to get it removed?

Mining for Diamonds in Minecraft

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 06:39 PM PDT

In Minecraft, I'm trying to get diamonds, for both a pickaxe and an enchanting table. Once I have enough, I also want armor. What's the chance I'll get a diamond while strip mining at bedrock? I don't want to cave mine, since it's dangerous. Why I am asking is because I want to know if strip mining at bedrock is better, or quarry mining at bedrock.

Thanks in advance! :)

PS3 glitches when playing certain games, could this be a sign of it dying

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 05:47 PM PDT

My PS3 glitches when playing certain games.

It works fine until I play a game like Ski doo snowmobile challenge. I load it up and sometimes it just wants to got to the left of the menu, when I try and enter a race or go into free roam, my character jumps up and turns to the left. I already checked that the controller glitches, I also have a PS3 slim and the controller works fine on that. I also tried multiple controllers on the glitchy PS3 and still does the same. I even tried the game on my PS3 slim(disc btw) and it works perfectly.

All I want to know is if it's a sign of the PS3 coming to its due date. And if anyone has experienced this with any PS3's they own.

And the glitchy PS3 is I believe a 60GB model(not sure exactly) and has been in the family since at least 2008 or 2009.

N64 Expansion Pak not recognized

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 07:14 PM PDT

I recently started playing the N64 versions of Zelda after I found a console in working order. It appears to not be able to save, which I narrowed down to either the cartridge's battery or the Expansion Pak. When I went to try another game, I got a message saying that "The N64 Expansion Pak must be installed in the N64 for this game" (Majora's mask btw, I knew it would need it going in).

EDIT: I figured out that I needed to press Reset on the console for saving. Unfortunately it still isn't recognizing the expansion pak.

Problem: I have two Expansion Paks that I have tried with my console to no avail. I know there's the option of soldering new components onto the circuit board (which I may have to learn for the battery anyway), What steps should I try before just buying another console?

How can I replace blocks with air in Minecraft BE? [duplicate]

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 12:18 PM PDT

I filled up a house with light_block in and I need to replace them with air. Is there any possible command to do that?


Note: I'm not against using a command block if needed. I just need to get rid of them.

What is this trio of structures in Minecraft?

While restoring an abandoned village, I came across these three structures next to what used to be the cartographer's house:

Screenshot of structures.

What are they?

How can I make the position of one armor_stand dependent on the vertical rotation of a second armor_stands head rotation in minecraft 1.17

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 08:49 AM PDT

I have a ferris wheel and let the head of an armor_stand rotate vertically on the central axis. Since it is a vertical rotation, I cannot link the gondolas to the rotation of the entire armor_stand like with a carousel with ^ ^ ^ but have to make the alignment dependent on the rotation of the head joint. Unfortunately, I don't succeed.

My Code for the middle axis Armor_stand:

summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {CustomNameVisible:0b,NoGravity:1b,NoBasePlate:1b,ArmorItems:[{},{},{},{id:"minecraft:stone_button",Count:1b,tag:{display:{Name:'{"text":"middle2"}'}}}],CustomName:'{"text":"middle1"}'}  

My Code for the gondolas movement:

execute as @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,name=gondel1] at @e[name=middle2] run teleport @s ^20 ^ ^ facing entity @s  

The idea was to give the button on the head of the armor_stand its own name to tie the gondola to its rotation and not to the body of the armor_stand below...

Can anyone help me?

Do trees drop furniture in all colors and varieties or only the types sold in the shop in ACNH?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 08:29 AM PDT

I've been shaking my hardwood and cedar trees every day to get two pieces of furniture. However all the furniture I get seems to be the same colors sold in the shop:

  • I only get the pink "cute" furniture line from trees and from my shop.
  • If I get duplicate furniture from trees, it is always exactly the same color that I got before. I've seen this with:
    • Freezer (white)
    • Light switch (white)
    • Study poster (colorful)

I've shaken my trees for about 90 days now and not seen any new furniture colors compared to what I've bought in my shop.

The only way I seem to be able to get new colors is from Redd, from balloons (rarely), or from trading.

Can trees actually drop a variety of furniture colors? I ask because some forums like this one seem to indicate that you should be able to get color variations from trees, but it doesn't seem to happen for me.

How do i get an item with a bold / italic colored name

Can you activate a region locked Steam key without a VPN?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 09:15 PM PDT

I bought a region free key from Kinguin, but after activating it, I see it ends with "(RU)", after the game name.

Does it means it's region locked for Russia? May I get banned on Steam for only activating without playing? What if I remove this game permanently from my library?

The seller keeps saying it's a region free key, but then why would it shows "RU"?

How do I place a lantern on the side of a wall?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 09:56 AM PDT

According to the wiki it should be possible to place a lantern on the side of a block. Am I reading this wrong?

I can not compel the lantern to place on the side of a polished diorite block, not even if I'm squatting/sneaking (holding the shift). I've run out of ideas on how to make this happen, but for aesthetic reasons I'd like to be able to do it. Is there some trick I'm missing?

What are the rules for mega evolutions in Pokémon go?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 11:45 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 set the world spawn to a player?

I am making a minigame in minecraft, and would like to know if there is a way to set a world spawn to a player, so that the compass points to them.

(Java Minecraft 1.13) How to summon a splash water bottle with no gravity?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 06:38 PM PDT

Right now, I'm making a "Fire Hose" item which shoots splash water bottles. I've got the velocity and everything working but for some reason it falls much quicker than I expected, and the trajectory is as if I've thrown it. I've tried the NoGravity tag but it isn't working, so if there is a way to get it to go where the cursor is pointing aside from raycasting and spawning it in at that block that would be great. Here's my function to shoot it: the summon command is on line two:

#summon water  summon minecraft:potion ^ ^ ^1 {NoGravity:1,CustomName:"\"firewandwater\"",Potion:{id:"minecraft:splash_potion",Count:1,tag:{Potion:"minecraft:water"}}}    #get player and water data into scoreboards  execute as @s store result score @s fwx run data get entity @s Pos[0] 100  execute as @s store result score @s fwy run data get entity @s Pos[1] 100  execute as @s store result score @s fwz run data get entity @s Pos[2] 100    execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result score @s fwx run data get entity @s Pos[0] 100  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result score @s fwy run data get entity @s Pos[1] 100  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result score @s fwz run data get entity @s Pos[2] 100    #subtract the two to get a momentum/velocity and put into water's scoreboard  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result score @s fwx run scoreboard players operation @s fwx -= @p fwx  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result score @s fwy run scoreboard players operation @s fwy -= @p fwy  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result score @s fwz run scoreboard players operation @s fwz -= @p fwz    #tp the water so it's like it's going from eye position  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] at @s run tp @s ~ ~1.62 ~    #put the subtracted value into the potion's Motion  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result entity @s Motion[0] double 0.01 run scoreboard players get @s fwx  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result entity @s Motion[1] double 0.01 run scoreboard players get @s fwy  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] store result entity @s Motion[2] double 0.01 run scoreboard players get @s fwz    #reset the scoreboards  scoreboard players reset @e fwx  scoreboard players reset @e fwy  scoreboard players reset @e fwz  execute run scoreboard players reset firewandClicks  execute run scoreboard players set @e firewandClicks 0    #reset customName so ater isn't affected by new ater  execute as @e[name=firewandwater] at @s run data merge entity @s {CustomName:""}  

The water should be hitting the top of the brick wall, but instead it hits the middle: enter image description here

Comparison between the different vehicles in Fortnite—Battle Royale?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 05:04 PM PDT

There are now three vehicles in Fortnite. The Shopping Cart, ATK and Quad-Crasher. I would like to compare them in several tasks.

First off, without any boosts on a flat surface, which one is fastest and the slowest?

Now, If I am going downhill, what are the results?

They all have their unique abilities. What are they and what can they accomplish? What is the time delay between using abilities?

Which one has the most Health Points (HP)?

Lastly, what is the spawn rate of each?

Minecraft DLC sharing between users on Nintendo Switch

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 09:09 PM PDT

Is Minecraft (bedrock edition) DLC available to all users on a single Nintendo Switch?

I know games are available to all users and Breath of the Wild DLC was also but I'd like to confirm Minecraft DLC is. We have three accounts, one for me and two for my young sons, and all the purchases are done on mine. Now they'd like to purchase in game stuff (modes, skins etc) but I'm not sure with requiring a Microsoft/Minecraft account if they'll be able to share what is bought.

If I sign up in my switch user and make the purchases, will they be available to the other users even without the my user being signed in?

Add multiple NBT tag Tags

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 02:04 PM PDT

Context: Ok, so I am making some custom enchantment stuffs and I want to be able to change the NBT data of the item, the way I am doing it is just making the players put the items into a chest then /fill destroy and killing the chest item, since the items are now entities I can use /entitydata to edit the items NBT datas, I've done this pretty well to an extent. I've looked around to no avail.

Problem: entitydata @e[type=Item,c=1] {Item:{tag:{Tags:[hi]}}} works, it gives the player a stone with the tag "hi" entitydata @e[type=Item,c=1] {Item:{tag:{Tags:[hi,hello,test]}}}

The 2nd problem is, even if I try to use lore and just use the section sign or something to make an "invisible string" it just replaces the lore with the new one, is there any thing that I can use to "add" NBT data to something like mentioned above?

Also, if I were to run a /scoreboard players add {data} how would I make the data be separate, so I could run executes on it, and players holding those items, say if a player was holding something with the tags: [kill,fly] when I execute on it, I can make the player execute the kill function and the fly function

If I start now, can I catch every Pokémon in Pokémon Go?

I really want to play Pokémon Go but I am a completionist. If I start playing now, what Pokémon won't I be able to catch?

HexDefense level buying broken?

HexDefense allows you to earn or buy credits that can be used to buy more levels. However, that feature appears to be broken for me.

Best method to clear large sections of land to bedrock

Using TNT, I am trying to roughly mine a 360x360 area of land completely to bedrock. Does anyone know the most efficient way to blast massive sections of land relatively cleanly?

What is the XP limit in squad mode?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 08:01 PM PDT

There is most definitely an XP limit in Squad Mode. But does anyone know what the limit is? I don't ever seem to be able to go more than a level up at a time.

How can I run two instances of Civ 5 on the same computer (ports conflict when playing LAN)?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 07:03 PM PDT

I have two copies of civ 5, and I am using a program called SoftXPand to have a multiseat setup. Both copies of civ 5 run fine, but when I try to connect to the other in the Local Network it says "error connecting to multiplayer session" . I am able to connect to another computer in the network though. So I assume this is a problem with a port conflict. Does anyone have any way I can get this to work?

What is the best way to deal with creatures that are immune to you in Diablo 2?

Posted: 30 Jul 2021 03:10 AM PDT

In Diablo 2, when you reach Nightmare and Hell you will notice that many things are immune to one or more elements, and sometimes physical damage.

I often run into situations where there may be anywhere between 1 (a unique) or an entire room filled with monsters that are completely immune to anything I can do. That is, they might be physical and lightning immune when I'm playing a Paladin with maxed out Holy Shock + Zeal. I can switch to Holy Fire or Holy Freeze however these deal less damage than the speed at which the enemy regenerates.

Is there a solution other than completely avoiding these enemies that I haven't thought of? Sometimes it gets really difficult because a really common enemy for an area might be immune to everything you can do (making them almost impossible to avoid).

Is there a Pause button? Where is it?

Posted: 29 Jul 2021 01:27 PM PDT

Is there a pause button in Chop Chop Ninja HD? This seems silly, but I can't seem to bring it up if one exists.
