Minecraft - how to distinguish Bedrock and Java editions from the box art

Posted: 02 Nov 2021 04:11 AM PDT

I bought my son two Minecraft editions. One was "Bedrock edition" and the other just was "Starter pack". This was from the descriptions on the seller's websites, even though the box arts do not state which version is which, so now I do not know which is which. There seems to be no real difference between the box art of the two editions, except that one of the box art of one states that it is VR compatible. Otherwise both contain the words "starter pack" and both have similar descriptions on the back, but nowhere do I see the word "Bedrock" or "Java" on either edition's box art.

How do I know which is which? I would ideally wish to return one of them to the supplier. My son is 8, and he is not into modding yet, but he loves playing with modded versions. He does not play competitively - just build sprawling mansions and fortresses and such.

A secondary question - given what you've read above, which should I return to supplier?

Edit: I forgot to mention that this is for the Playstation 4.

Burial Blade and Blades of Mercy

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 06:50 PM PDT

So I did a bit of research into scaling, after starting a Blades of Mercy run in Bloodborne, and now I'm a little confused.

Firstly, the Stats page, when looking at Arcane stat states (emphasis mine):

Despite all trick weapons have an arcane scaling, investing in arcane does nothing to increase these weapons' physical damages. Instead this value project how high its elemental damage would be if it was infused with elemental Blood Gems.

Yet when looking at the Burial Blade or Blades of Mercy (emphasis mine):

Blades of Mercy:

  • This weapon has many similarities to the Burial Blade.
    • Both weapons have a direct scaling with arcane towards their damage outputs.

Burial Blade:

  • This weapon shares many similarities with the Blade of Mercy
    • Both weapons innately scale with Arcane.

Should I be investing in Arcane, if I want to deal more damage with the Blades of Mercy?

Arcane and Fire/Bolt Gems

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 08:47 PM PDT

In Bloodborne you can buff your weapons with damage scaling, either physical, or elemental. Physical bases damage off three stats: Strength, Dexterity, or Arcane.

When looking at the effects of the Arcane Gems, the wiki states:

If used in in conjunction with a gem that gives bolt or fire damage, the Arcane Blood Gemstone will overwrite the previous gem's effect and replace all damage with Arcane.

So if I have one gem that deals 16% Bolt damage, then I apply a gem that boosts my Arcane Scaling by 15%, does that mean my Arcane scaling goes up by 31% in total?

Where can I get the Juiced Up trinket?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 05:13 PM PDT

At one point I got the Juiced Up trinket as Cole, but unfortunately wasn't able to take it along to my next loop and didn't remember how I obtained it. After another good chunk of time invested in this game, I'm pretty confident that Juiced Up is not a random drop, as I've since gotten multiple copies of every personal trinket other than Juiced Up, but still have not found another single copy of Juiced Up.

Is there a specific location that Juiced Up spawns? Is it a reward for some specific action?

Do I need to invite Sylvain to complete Share a Bite?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 02:37 PM PDT

On my first day as a professor, Sylvain gave me the quest Share a Bite. The quest details imply I need to eat with Sylvain:

The food in the dining hall's pretty appetizing. Is anyone interested in sharing a meal? Ladies preferred.

I'd rather invite someone else for my first meal. Do I need to eat with Sylvain to complete Share a Bite, or can I invite someone else?

Why was I given a quest from Chapter 5 during Chapter 1?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 01:02 PM PDT

After choosing a house (Black Eagles) during my first playthrough of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, I got a strange notification:

A quest has been added from Chapter 5 of the main story on. You will find the quest via the bulletin board. In order to accept it, you must have the ability to invite people to tea parties.

The bulletin board only lists three quests: Fresh Catch, Green Thumb Beginnings, and Share a Bite. None of them are labeled as being from Chapter 5.

Why was I given a quest from Chapter 5 while I'm still in Chapter 1? Is it a quest I can work on early?

How to make shortcuts for these Steam games/"subgames"?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 12:41 PM PDT

The Steam right-click menu for Shadow Warrior Classic Redux allows me to play the game expansions Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon.

If I utilize the option in the same right-click menu to Create Desktop Shortcut, the resulting shortcut takes me right to the original game.

How can I create a desktop shortcut for each of the expansions?

(I am running Steam on a Linux system, if it matters)

Why do I get a message saying I've built all the floors in Tiny Tower Vegas?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 02:28 PM PDT

Haven't reached the maximum number of floors, I only have 104 floors, but the game won't let me add more. When I try to add another floor (I have enough coins) I get a message saying I've built all the floors.

Is it possible for mobs to be left-handed in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 11:31 AM PDT

I recently learned that the skeleton mob in specific has an 11% chance of being left-handed:

right hand: 89%; left hand: 11%‌ [JE only]; may be enchanted

Due to my curiosity, I began searching to determine if other mobs can be left-handed, and based on my research, mobs seem to have a NBT tag for LeftHanded, as per this post regarding zombie mobs:

The LeftHanded byte tag determines whether or not the mob's main hand is its left or right hand (when set to 1, it is left-handed).

However, NBT tags are specific to (which supports the [JE only] tag on the wiki), so I continued my research with a focus on , but unfortunately, this yielded no explicit results (which were easily found for Java edition).

Can I disable the flashing white secret indicator?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 09:47 AM PDT

In Metroid: Dread, sections on the minimap will flash white if they contain undiscovered secrets. I'd like to try finding these secrets without the game pointing out their location.

Is there any way to disable these flashing white minimap hints?

Can PS5 use HDCP DRM in games?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 10:20 AM PDT

I intend to connect using a HDMI splitter with a projector and/or television and haven't made any effort to ensure that my chain of devices is HDCP-compatible. Since my usage will be purely gaming-related I was planning to disable the HDCP in the system settings, but the explanation explicitly states that some games won't work (the screenshot isn't mine):

I initially assumed that HDCP is only used with DRM'd streaming services — can games freely use HDCP as well?

Specific Rules for Start of Round Damage

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 11:49 AM PDT

I'm interested in how the CS:GO start of round damage penalty works. I've looked around online and there's no consistent answer. I found this question which answers general questions about the system, but I'm looking for details specific to start of round damage limits, ban parameters. Furthermore, it suggests that you cannot kill teammates at round start which I know to be false (I enjoy a little bit of trolling my discord friends).

Sometimes I get banned, sometimes I don't, but I've never really paid attention to the variables at play.
Distance from spawn? Time after round start? Number of shots required? Overkill amount?

Summoning a falling entity on top of an arrow which had just hit the ground

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 09:48 PM PDT

Hullo there, this is just a follow-up question from my previous one, Specific lightning arrow task, after the arrow strikes, and only using a specific bow. So in that one, I asked how would one summon lightning an x amount of times, at an arrow, after it hits the ground. Thanks to mindoverflow, I now know how to do it.
I'm going to write all the code here, because we will need this in a moment.
Stating all the variables needed:

/scoreboard objectives add UseBow minecraft.used:bow  /scoreboard objectives add Strike dummy  /scoreboard objectives add Timer dummy

Command block that gives the special bow:

give @p bow{CustomModelData:103,display:{Name:"[{\"text\":\"Asraelax's\",\"color\":\"yellow\"},{\"text\":\" Chaos\",\"color\":\"yellow\"}]",Lore:["{\"text\":\"Curse of Zeus\",\"color\":\"gray\",\"italic\":false}"]},Unbreakable:1,HideFlags:7}

First separate chain:

[Repeat] execute at @a[scores={UseBow=1..},nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:bow",Count:1b,tag:{CustomModelData:103,display:{Name:"[{\"text\":\"Asraelax's\",\"color\":\"yellow\"},{\"text\":\" Chaos\",\"color\":\"yellow\"}]"}}}}] run data merge entity @e[type=arrow,limit=1,sort=nearest,distance=..2] {Tags:["lightningarrow"]}  [Chain] run summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Tags:["lightning"],Invulnerable:1b,Invisible:1b}  [Chain] execute at @e[tag=lightningarrow,nbt={inGround:1b}] run scoreboard players remove @a UseBow 1  [Chain] kill @e[tag=lightningarrow,nbt={inGround:1b}]

Second separate chain:

[Repeat] scoreboard players add @e[tag=lightning] Timer 1  [Chain] execute as @e[tag=lightning,scores={Timer=1}] at @s run summon minecraft:lightning_bolt  [Chain] execute as @e[tag=lightning,scores={Timer=1}] at @s run scoreboard players add @s Strike 1  [Chain] execute as @e[tag=lightning,scores={Timer=5}] at @s run scoreboard players set @s Timer 0  [Chain] kill @e[tag=lightning,scores={Strike=5}]

So this works perfectly, to change the number of lightning strikes, we only have to change the number in
kill @e[tag=lightning,scores={Strike=5}].

However, after being Zeus for an hour, I became pretty bored, and I thought, what else can I summon? A falling block of course. Now, to become Gaia, I can just change what to summon and state where to summon it (~ ~10 ~) right? Well, technically, that's correct, but it will only summon a column of sand, not really spread out.

So here's my problem, I want to summon a bunch of falling blocks, that is a 3 x 4 x 4. (Basically, a rectangular prism, height 3, width & length 4, that is all sand), 10 blocks on top of an arrow shot from a specific bow.

You can just say, well, make 12 of the second separate chains, and you'll be done, right?
Yep, that's true, but for that you need 24 variables, which is pretty boring and no one wants to write that much code. So is there an elegant way to make this, using only one (or two, or three, as long as it's less than 6) chain? Or am I forced to construct 13 chains, and 25 variables?

Another requirement, it should be somewhat flexible, for example, you could technically cram everything in 1 chain and call it a day, but what if I were to want it to be a 3 x 5 x 5? It should adapt to it.

This is very much appreciated if you solve this problem, I might put a bounty on this later if this doesn't get answers.

P.S. I'm not using /setblock or /fill because I might want to replace the falling block with another block.

How do you make a music block play a sound in Pocket Edition?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 06:43 PM PDT

My Pocket Edition just randomly stopped playing music for my music block. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, I also tried to check the settings but nothing seemed to work.

Is it possible to use /replace and give it a enchant without affecting the rest of the armor?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 06:38 PM PDT

I'm trying to make it so that the command block gives you an elytra and you can't take it off since if you do so it will duplicate, is there a way to give the elytra an enchant of curse of binding and not effect the rest of the armor. I'm on bedrock edition btw.

Is it possible to change a villagers profession using /event?

If I finish the game early, will I have to start a whole new game?

Posted: 02 Nov 2021 03:18 AM PDT

I've reached a point in the story where I'm given the choice to finish the game far earlier than its intended end.

While I haven't played Far Cry 4 or 5, I've heard that Far Cry 4 has a secret ending that skips the overwhelming majority of the actual game. I figured that Far Cry 6 might do something similar, and stumbled upon this piece of information on Wikipedia:

A secret ending can be found at the beginning of the game.

I believe I might have reached that very point in the story. However, I did spend 6 hours to get there, and would like to avoid losing them.

Normally, I'd just take this ending, then load my previous save and keep playing the rest of the game. But this game doesn't offer a "Save" option (it saves automatically), and there is no "Load" option either, only "Continue".

I'm concerned that by ending the story early, I might need to start a new game once more (and replay the first 6 hours), because the game will have automatically saved past a "Point Of No Return".

If I choose to see the secret ending, will I be able to return to a point just before I made that decision?

How to host multiple Minecraft servers on the same IP?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 04:47 PM PDT

I just started a Minecraft server for me and one of my friend groups to use, but I'd also like a separate server for my other friends. I downloaded the server file again, made a new folder, did all the same things I had done to start up the first server, and I used Port Map to create a new port.

I've heard you're supposed to log in to your router to do this. However, after looking up my IPv4 address online and entering it in my browser, nothing showed up. The port number I used with Port Map is 25566, as opposed to the first, which was 25565. To test if this server worked, I tried joining it my putting in my IP, adding a colon, and adding the new port, so it looked something like 111.222.333:25566. However, it didn't work. This is the method I had found online, though it wasn't a very detailed explanation, and I'd like to find a way to do this.

For KJBuilds, here's what's going on when I try to log in with my IP address. Chrome error: This site can't be reached. 192.x.x.x refused to connect

I'm trying to find a way to log the command block output on a Minecraft Bedrock Realm

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 12:01 PM PDT

I've been messing around with command blocks recently, and I need to be able to 'log' my command block output.

I can see the last output it had

'Gave 1 diamond to JackOBoi04' (example)

but I am trying to find a way to take said output, and log it in a book, or something like so even when I'm offline, when I come back online I can look back at the list of said command block's output, from when I was offline.

How can I execute at a chest with a specific pattern of certain items?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 08:18 PM PDT

I'm trying to use commands to make something similar to the "pop-up tower" chest on Hypixel bed wars.

I am trying to testfor and execute at any chest with a specific pattern of certain items, or at least one with a specific name, and also at unspecific coordinates.

As of now, I can testfor a chest with specific items, but only relative to the player. And also, any item can be in the other unspecified slots, so when I test, how do I check for no item in a slot?

And what command would I use to execute at this chest?

I'm on 1.12 by the way. So 1.13+ commands won't work for me.

Do Yorick's Ghouls (and other Spawnable entities) trigger Ravenous Hunter?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 10:07 AM PDT

Do Yorick's ghouls and the damage they deal count as ability damage, and specifically, would they trigger the rune Ravenous Hunter, and heal me based on the damage they deal? I can not find conclusive evidence.

Share edits to "Master" Minecraft world

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 07:36 PM PDT

We're recreating the town we live in in Minecraft and would like to maintain a master copy of the town. Users can play in the map but not edit the master.

We've used Lidar for our topological source map but there's a lot of work to do in adding detail. We'd like others to contribute, such as by changing the appearances of buildings and making trees more realistic. It's only a small town (Blandford, Dorset) but changing the materials.

Is it possible to have this Master copy edited by multiple contributors simultaneously at different locations?

Weapons aren't unlocked even after completing all Bell Towers

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 04:49 PM PDT

Yesterday I completed all the Radio Towers in Far Cry 4, hoping to unlock one of the signature weapons. However the weapon's page disappointed me by telling me that I need more Bell Towers to liberate. How do I get around this? I have completed all Bell Towers and there are no more to do.

Unable To Capture The Last City in a Region?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 07:03 PM PDT

I recently picked up a copy of Mount & Blade: Warband and am still fairly new. I have managed to capture almost all of a region on the Campaign map, but I am unable to besiege the last city. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to somehow overthrow the king, or is there some other, more obvious way that I simply haven't noticed?

Does being left handed or right handed affect a mobs attributes?

I noticed while I was playing that some zombies held items in their right hand and some held items in their left hand. Is there any difference in being left or right handed?

Highest overall armor?

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 08:06 PM PDT

I wanted to make the tank build, trying to get the highest overall effective health. Smelter armor is good for fire def, havels for def, dark set for dark def. What would be the most balanced, elemental and physical armor combination?

Using Steam backup to store game files and saves on different drives

Posted: 01 Nov 2021 06:04 PM PDT

I am going to be getting a new computer with an SSD next week and want to be able to effectively preload my games (i.e. not have to start over or transfer save data manually). As I see it, I want the game files to be on the SSD and the game saves on a HD. I have an external HD.

Is backing up my games (via the Steam backup command) the correct thing to do?
