Modifying Minecraft Bedrock Enchanting Rules

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 11:57 PM PDT

TL;DR is there a way to modify the enchantments that equipment can receive from an Enchanting Table?

  • Working on a "lazy" addon that simplifies some things I do often.
  • One big time waster is trying to get the right enchantments (i.e. keep getting the wrong type of Protection, or Bane of Arthropods instead of Sharpness).
  • I'd like to remove some of those undesired enchantments from the logic so that only the ones I actually use will appear on the enchanting table.

I see a few ways to go about this, but none are very good...

  1. Modify the game's internal rules for which enchantments apply to which equipment types. This isn't surfaced anywhere in the "Vanilla" packs, so it seems to be impossible.
  2. Create a new option for minecraft:enchantable that has the enchantments I want (i.e. "slot": "sword2" which has Sharpness but not Smite). Would then modify each type of equipment to use the new "slots." This is also not present in the Vanilla packs and seems to be impossible.
  3. Create a new type of table which uses some functions to apply some enchantments.

#3 seems like the only method that's possible in Bedrock. And yes, I know I can use command-blocks/NPCs to give me a sword with Sharpness level 9000 :). I'm just trying to smooth over the edges of the core gameplay (and learn a bit along the way), not completely reinvent it.

Thanks all!

How do I complete a sideways encounter?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 05:04 PM PDT

In Fortnite, we're currently in chapter 2 season 8 and I'm stuck on a mission for Torin to complete a sideways encounter:

Screenshot of the mission.

According to my research, to complete a sideways encounter I need to defeat three waves of cube monsters within a set time limit that begins when I enter the sideways:

Sideways encounters in Fortnite involve fighting off waves of Cube Monsters until you fill the orange challenge bar at the top of your screen. If you do this successfully, then you will complete the Sideways encounter. There is, however, a catch and it comes in the form of a timer.

Upon entering the sideways, a bar is supposed to appear at the top of the screen:

Screenshot of the aforementioned bar.

However, I've dedicated almost 30 matches solely to accomplishing this mission and have not once seen the bar. I have however noticed three circles at the top (I'll try to get a screenshot soon) that appears when (as I know them) the cube bosses do:

Screenshot of all three bosses.

However, defeating them (which is a pain alone by the way), doesn't complete the encounter, so I'm missing something.

How do I complete a sideways encounter?

Why can't I destroy this energy barrier with my melee attack?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 11:19 PM PDT

I recently unlocked the melee attack in the first area of Returnal. According to the tutorial, I can use this attack to destroy energy barriers, vines, and other barriers. I've already used the melee attack to destroy a couple energy barriers and a few vines, but in my most recent run I came across an energy barrier I wasn't able to destroy with my melee attack.

Attempting to melee an energy barrier in Returnal

This energy barrier doesn't appear to be any different than any of the other energy barriers I've destroyed (unless it's another colour blind issue), so I'm really confused as to why I can't destroy it. The energy barrier is a door to a blue (?) triangle room if that makes a difference, although I don't see why it would.

Why can't I destroy this energy barrier with my melee attack? Is this just a bug, or is there something I'm missing here?

Black ops 2 on Xbox

Posted: 22 Sep 2021 12:52 AM PDT

I just got the Xbox s. The market has black ops 2 and black ops 2 season pass both the same price. If I buy the game with the season pass do I get the game and the season pass. Or just the season pass and I still need to buy the game. Please help

Does world difficulty change when making a new world after defeating Wall of Flesh?

Posted: 22 Sep 2021 05:31 AM PDT

So my guide NPC was killed because I thought I could summon WoF by drowning the NPC.

(I realised I did it the wrong way).

I made a new world and made a hellevator after watching the guide of beating the WoF boss, the fight wasn't as bad and it gave me the items I needed. I finally got hardmode, I went back to my main world (where I drowned the guide), and still had the items. Then I got confused, it seems I need to ask a question I didn't find online...

Does your difficulty save when going on your main world, but defeated WoF on another world?

(this might be confusing but you get the point)

Select phenotypes to use for empires

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 01:03 PM PDT

Is there a way to limit what phenotypes an empire will use for the pops/leaders? Phenotype is what the game calls the different coloured pops.

Example: I want to set up a game with USA/China/Russia based space empires all using human as race (or 3 separate race definitions using the human model) but still have them look slightly different this way.

Saving Minecraft Client passwords

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 12:05 PM PDT

I'm looking to have a bunch of computers save the client passwords, so I don't have to log them in. I can't leave the passwords available because kids WILL steal and change the passwords/avatars (which I have to then access and change later).

Anyway to automate this? A mod? I haven't found anything updated that will do the trick.

How to access minecraft server console if the server is running as a systemd service?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 11:07 AM PDT

I am running a fabric minecraft server on my spare pc running manjaro linux where worldedit is the only mod. I would like to access the server console remotely and issue commands or check on the world in general. As mentioned in the title, the server is running as a systemd service.

Use second server to serve data to players

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 09:53 AM PDT

So I have a physical machine in my house which I am hosting a minecraft server on. I also have multiple lower powered vps machines that have very high bandwidth. Is it possible to connect the server in my house to my vps machines, and then have my vps machines serve the data to the players rather than my home machine. This way I would be able to serve more players, and would not run into bandwith problems (As the vps would serve all the data to the players, while my home machine only has to serve the vps). Is this possible?

Can the Armor/Damage formula be changed in Minecraft?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 08:55 AM PDT

I know there is a formula of how the applied damage is calculated with respect to player's armor and toughness stat. However is there an already existing mod or a way to change it to a custom formula?

For a simple example: applied damage = max(0,damage - armor) so that it is reduced by a flat number in this case instead of % reduction. Basically, can I find a text document in the files where I can write a custom damage application formula?

How do you make a wither unable to break blocks?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 07:52 AM PDT

What is the command to make a wither called 1 unable to break blocks or summon a wither called 1 that cannot break blocks?

Edit:

So far I have made the wither stay in a certain location and face in a certain direction using the teleport command. It works fine and doesn't break anything but when I load up the world it destroys everything and goes back to normal which means I have to manually fix everything every time. I am open to other suggestions, anything that works.

Where can I safely store my stuff in Turdograd?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 04:14 PM PDT

Where is a safe place that I can use to store my stuff as I go through the game? I haven't come across any base or player owned property so far that I can call my own and I'm starting to get weighed down with a few heavy things that I want to keep for later (mostly exo suit parts).

Is there any consequences to ignoring Little Paro about an incoming Raid?

Posted: 22 Sep 2021 05:03 AM PDT

When a new Raid is going to start Little Paro contacts you with a certain degree of urgency telling you that Castaway Village is going to be attacked and to return "if you have time". alot of the time he has done this just short of me reaching a Crystal which i could use to Fast Travel back after i deal with the raid (though normally I find this out after).

recently i was climbing up Mt Gendarme, i had just gotten back outside when Little Paro told me about the Raid and not seeing a nearby crystal i Fast Traveled back. on my return trip i found that i was a fair aways from the next Crystal.

I am wondering if there is there any consequences to ignoring Little Paro about an incoming Raid? allowing me to reach the next crystal to use as a return point

Can I install Witcher 3 DLCs with external keys if the main game is on Steam?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 03:03 PM PDT

I've currently got the Witcher 3 main game on Steam and I'd like to install the two DLCs. Is it possible to purchase (legal) activation keys via a different website (given that games are often cheaper outside Steam) and to enter them via the "Activate a Product on Steam" box? I know that this is easy to do with standalone games, but I'd like to check that it works with DLCs as well. Thanks!

Edit: I see that most websites sell GOG keys, which probably aren't compatible with Steam. Could I buy the GOTY edition on GOG and transfer the saves?

How to identify cross-job skills?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 08:07 PM PDT

In Yakuza: Like a Dragon I've done experimenting with the job system and have found some skills are usable on other jobs once they've been acquired.

Is there any way to tell which skills work like this without switching jobs and seeing if they're still available?

Can you play Minecraft Java Edition on Windows 10?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 12:45 PM PDT

My son really wants to play the Java Edition of Minecraft. Any tips for playing the Java Edition on Windows 10? Is it even possible?

Make an entity follow the player, but offset

Posted: 22 Sep 2021 04:06 AM PDT

Is there a way to use commands to take the Motion data from one entity and merge it onto another? I want to let another entities move in unison with the player. Just copying the Motion tag does not work, because the X and Z motion seems to always be 0.

My Gunpowder/Creeper Farm on Minecraft isn't working

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 07:43 AM PDT

I made a creeper farm in my survival world with the normal idea of trapdoors, carpet, a cat, etc. I know that the hopper system for picking up the drops will work, but no creepers will spawn in!

This is the tutorial I used if it helps any:

Originally I built it just like he had it (which was relatively low to the ground), and nothing would spawn. So I raised it to be 128 blocks off the ground, because of the 128 spawn radius (which was really scary to build in survival lol).

I added torches on top of the farm so they wouldn't spawn there, and made a little room about 50 blocks under it to camp, and got nothing. After this I tried camping 50 blocks above the farm, and still got nothing. I built an antenna that went 20 blocks above the farm & 15 blocks out, still nothing.

To get the obvious questions out of the way, I am not on peaceful while I am camping. I am also the only player on my world. I am on windows 10 edition, I am not sure if that impacts anything. Also, it is definitely dark enough for mobs to spawn. It's a survival world, so to get good pictures I copied the world & put it in creative.

There is never this much light, I just broke part of the wall to get a picture of the inside This is how tall it is

What are the negative traits that Red Talon Recruits have post-nerf

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 06:05 PM PDT

After the Daybreak DLC, Undead Labs addressed the overpowered Red Talon Recruits by giving them negative traits that match their "profession".

I noticed this only recently because i had always played with my pre-nerf community. I recruited a hacker and she had +1 food consumtion on top of "wastes food sometimes". I got a demolitions expert who had +1 bed consumption and +2 zed threat.

What are all the negative points that the Red Talon recruits now come with?

  1. Hacking
    • +1 Food consumption
  2. Demolition
    • +1 Bed consumption
    • +2 Zed Threat (noise)
  3. Infrastructure
  4. Foraging
  5. Gut Packing
  6. Fortifications
  7. Combat Medicine
    • +50% Fatigue Severity
  8. Mobile Operations
  9. Logistics
  10. Firearms Maintenance

Is there a way to obtain Shiny Mewtwo in Let's Go without repeatedly reloading save files?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 12:03 PM PDT

In Let's Go, it seems that, as far as I know, Mewtwo is the only Pokémon that does not respawn (the legendary birds can be found in the wild).

Since Mewtwo does not respawn, is there any way to obtain Shiny Mewtwo in Let's Go without reloading a save file hundreds/thousands of times, or is reloading a save file hundreds/thousands of times the only way to obtain it?

Note: In the future, it will be possible to transfer a Shiny Mewtwo from Pokémon Go to Let's Go. I'm specifically asking this question in the context of Let's Go itself.

Is there a painless way to run Starcraft 2 on Linux?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 04:07 PM PDT

Now that Starcraft 2 is free to play, is there a painless way to run it in Linux?

People have been doing it with different success for years, but the hacks are spead over different resources and often are distro specific.

I have some specific limitations though.

Since I saw file names like Starcraft64 on a Windows install of Starcraft 2, I would like to run it on a clean 64bit Linux distribution without the multilib 32bit compat layer installed.

I am fine with either 64bit stable wine or the 64bit staging wine, no wrappers like PlayOnLinux or Lutris should be involved.

Is it possible to install and run Starcraft 2 this way?

So far I went to starcraft2.com website and downloaded the installer, but when I ran the file tool on it, I was told it is a 32bit Windows executable, so obviously it won't be able to run under pure 64 wine.

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

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 07:14 PM PDT

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?

How do I defeat Golem?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 11:01 AM PDT

I tried to cage Golem but it wouldn't work, because of the lasers it shoots. How do I evade/defend against the lasers? I am in the latest version of mobile. I've seen videos. In the videos the lasers disappear when it hits a block. For me, the lasers go through the block. What is an easier way of fighting it? What's an easier way to defeat it???

What are all the ways to get stardust in Pokémon Go?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 02:17 PM PDT

Anytime I caught Pokemon, it gave me 100 stardust. As far as I know, this is a set number you get regardless of what is being caught. Also, I've yet to see another way to get stardust.

So, when I captured an Eevee today, I was confused by my stardust total.

5256 stardust

Somehow I managed to get 5,256 stardust. Since I've only ever noticed stardust increment in 100s, I'm guessing I missed something. Are there other ways of getting stardust or am I wrong in thinking each successful capture always gives 100?

What are Private Servers?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 12:59 PM PDT

I have seen a couple questions recently asking about private servers for Clash of Clans. I looked them up online, and I can't find any information about them, only sites offering them. What are these private servers? Are they even legitimate?

How to capture legendary Pokemon in unovaRPG?

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 08:37 PM PDT

UnovaRPG is a browser based Pokémon game. It came in replacement for Pokémon Indigo and Pokémon Crater. The game offers many Pokémon to capture and fight with, but to my bad luck I have not been able to capture any legendary Pokémon.

List of legendary Pokémon

  1. Articuno
  2. Zapdos
  3. Moltres
  4. Celebi
  5. Latios

Paving The Way Won't Complete

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 09:29 PM PDT

So I've been doing the Operation: Anchorage DLC for Fallout 3 and was on the quest Paving the Way. I attacked the Chinese Listeing Post, cleared it out, checked every corner (pressing V everywhere for good measure) and as far as I can see all NPCs are dead.

However my strike team wouldn't let me complete the mission. Sgt Montgomery just keeps saying 'attacking the listening post as ordered Sir...", so I got frustrated and used the following console command:

CompleteAllObjectives 020009c0

This is supposed to complete all the objectives for that quest, and in my Pipboy it says that is the case. However the quest is still marked active, Sgt Montgomery still says the same thing, and I can't progress out of this DLC.

Has anybody experienced this or has any idea how I can end this particular quest so I can start the last part?

Minecraft rcon tool for Linux Console

Posted: 21 Sep 2021 12:42 PM PDT

I am searching for a Linux commandline tool to use the rcon to send Command to the minecraft server.

While I found one in the Minecraft Forum it does not work as expected, most time the Auth Succeeds but the Command does not get executed and the programm quit in reading the results from the Server

Any hints for a working program, or how to fix the mentioned one?
