How would I add an Item to Minecraft with MCP-Reborn?

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 04:41 AM PST

I am learning how to mod Minecraft, so I have very little experience with this yet. (I have already made some resource packs) I am using MPC Reborn but I'am open to better suggestions. I have already decompiled and have been messing around with this for a couple months, but to no avail. I have already created the textures for this item.
Could someone please help me with this? (Minecraft: JAVA Edition Version 1.17.1)

What happens if you buy an item from Mr. Hat at full price?

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 04:04 AM PST

In Shovel Knight: King of Cards, when you encounter Mr. Hat at his Fancy Shop, he offers to sell you items that cost 100,000 gold each. If you leave without buying anything, Mr. Hat will follow King Knight, repeatedly ask you to buy something, then challenge you to a fight when you try to leave. After you defeat him, he will move his shop and discount his items.

What happens if you save up enough gold and buy an item from Mr. Hat at full price? Does he still fight you?

I'm just trying to find out how to thank somebody here brother answer. Somebody else asked the question, but their answer helped me big time and I wanted to thank

How many statues are there?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 08:27 PM PST

The back of my trainer card shows that I have 96 "statue variants found". What does this mean? How many do I need to complete the "statue-dex"?

Gotta mine 'em all!

What does the chance calculated for an Ancient Hunt mean exactly?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 05:49 PM PST

When sacrificing some gear for the Ancient Hunt, you get a percentage and a number with a ~value, which can be increased using Enchantment Points, like the screenshot below:

enter image description here
(Courtesy of 04AM)

In this case we have (and this is explained by the tooltip):

  • 91% chance to encounter any Ancient mob
  • ~2.2 Ancient mobs on average

But how should I read those numbers?
Do I have 91% chance to encounter any Ancient mob, hence 9% to find none?
It's not clear if that chance is referred to the whole level, or a single floor, or a single Hunt Door. If I'm lucky enough to end into that percentage, what does exactly ~2.2 mean? I know it's an average number, so it could get, I guess, 1-4 Ancient mobs. I suppose the odds of getting more or less than that value are completely random.

Moreover, for what I can see, not every Hunt Door is activated during the Hunt. Are the door odds affected by these numbers?

If anyone out there have figured out something about this, I'd appreciate.

How do elemental shields work?

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 02:58 AM PST

In Genshin Impact you can pick up crystals that will generate an elemental shield around your character like this:

enter image description here

I find these pretty handy when fighting certain enemies but the in-game guide doesn't really explain how they work in detail - specifically:

  • How strong are these shields/does a character's stats affect their strength? How do they compare to the shields that Noelle/Diona/etc. can generate with their elemental skills?
  • What happens if you take elemental damage of a different type to that of the shield?
  • What happens if you pick up another crystal of the same type - does the shield strength stack, or does it simply reset the duration of the shield?

Disable PVP in Minecraft with a command

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 11:41 PM PST

Is there any way to disable PVP in Minecraft Java edition with a command, if I already have teams created that are needed?

Things I've Considered/Tried

  • Creating a team named all, giving it to everyone and turning off friendlyFire. This does not work for me because I already have teams that I use.
  • Changing the server properties. This does not work for me because I need to be able to change it from in-game. This is for a minigame I am making.

Thank you in advance!

How do you steal the Palladium in A Total War Saga: Troy?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 02:52 PM PST

Playing as Ajax (Salamis) in Mythos mode, upon conquering Zeleia I got an event that said a priest was said running to "Mount Ida" and that I should follow him there. The event also mentioned a prophecy related to the Palladium, and there's an achievement called "Broken Prophecy" that asks you to "Win a battle for Troy after successfully Stealing the Palladium."

But how do you steal said Palladium? There's no quest for it, no marker anywhere on the map. Neither Heroes nor Agents get a special "Search" action and spies can't even do anything against the city of Troy anyway. I've read a few people talking about moving your faction leader to the Troy region, but it didn't do anything in my case. (tried ending the turn in the region as well just to be sure)

Thanks for your help

How to create a dust particle that deals damage in Minecraft?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 06:30 PM PST

I'm in 1.16.5, I have tried for weeks and I just can't get it. The most progress I have ever got is this:

/execute as @e[type=item,nbt={Item:{tag:{ThornPounce:1b}}}] as 1_1COOKIE1_1 at 1_1COOKIE1_1 as @e[type=item,nbt={Item:{tag:{ThornPounce:1b}}}] run summon area_effect_cloud ^ ^1.5 ^2 {Particle:dust,ReapplicationDelay:5,Radius:0.5f,Duration:3,DurationOnUse:3f,Age:x,WaitTime:x,Effects:[{Id:20,Amplifier:1,Duration:20}]}

This command summons an area of effect cloud that looks like the particle and adds an effect to you. I looked into many places and I took a bunch of commands, added them together and tried to edit it to make it how I want it to be.
Can anyone help me?

What is this first-person 3D mobile game shown on TikTok?

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 03:45 AM PST

I saw this game on @onegameshow's TikTok but I couldn't find it.

Does anyone know what it's called?

How should I evaluate the suitability of acquired equipment in Diablo 3?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 02:00 PM PST

I am having trouble figuring out which equipment is worth using when playing the main story line of D3.

enter image description here

I found a shield for my Crusader character which looks much better than the one I was using: the rating is higher (714 vs 547), also the Block Amount is much higher (948-1088 vs 392-543). It also has a marginally higher chance to block.

However, the game shows me that both my Toughness and Recovery will both be diminished after equipping the new item (by -12.1% and -17.2%, respectively).

I often find myself in a situation when the rating and the raw stats of an item look like an improvement, but the stat changes calculated by the game show a (sometimes hefty) decrease.

What is the cause of the (apparent) discrepancy, and which set of values should I trust. Should I equip the shield or not?

How does the detection mark for Pyke's Ghostwater Dive ability work?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 04:42 PM PST

I am playing Pyke, a champion in League of Legends. I need some clarity on one of his abilities called Ghostwater Dive. Here is a link to show it: Pkye ghostwater dive. Basically, the spell makes you invisible to enemies in a certain range and makes you move faster. Now the one thing that has me confused is something that is not said, when Pyke uses this the enemies close by get a mark around their bodies that tells them Pyke is invisible. I know this is a thing but it does not show it in the ability description. So my questions are:

1. What is the range of the mark that Pyke puts out?

2. If there is a range if I start outside the range then go into the range will the mark still appear on the enemies?

How do I open blue chests in Dreamstones?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 02:20 PM PST

I found these chests at the end of additional Dreamstone missions (ones that are not 1 huge boss battle) and I cannot just open them with ◯. They have some blue glow around them:

How do I open them?

Can I use Steam Family Sharing with five user accounts plus one account per game?

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 02:37 AM PST

This is a follow-up to a question from 2010: Can I create one steam account per game? Since then, Steam introduced Family Sharing, which significantly changes things.

The idea is to resolve the contention introduced by the requirement that Steam libraries can only be shared in their entirety and to one person at a time. It's clearly not the intended usage, but I'm not clear about whether it's legally or morally wrong or even just impractical.

To do this, I would create one account for each game purchase. Steam will let me use the same email address for multiple accounts, but wildcards like Gmail +-addresses would also work. I can then use these accounts to family share each game to 5 different accounts. I would not be sharing my password, but either logging in physically or using a remote desktop connection.

Does Valve care to stop this? Is it against the terms and conditions? Is there a limit to the number of accounts shared to a given user or machine? A limit to the number of accounts by IP? What are the pain points here beyond the initial setup and sharing?

How do I make an operator with specific permissions?

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 01:03 AM PST

In Minecraft I want to make my friends operators but I don't want them to be able to run all the commands a operator can run. For example, say I make my friend an operator and now they can use / commands, I don't want them to be able to /kill but I still want for them to be able to use /fill. Is there a way to do this?

How to make specific mobs in Minecraft make no sound

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 01:05 AM PST

In my regular Minecraft survival world (1.17.30), I want to know if there is a way to make only certain mobs make no sound or only some sounds.

Example 1: A creeper would not make a hiss sound when charging but would still make a boom sound when exploding.

Example 2: A pig never oniks but a chicken still clucks

Screen refresh rates and stuttering

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 04:02 PM PST

Been playing around with the refresh rate on my monitor recently.

If my monitor is on 60hz, the game runs at 60fps and everything looks smooth. However, every couple of seconds there's a small and brief bit of stutter. Not sure why this is.

If my monitor is on 120 / 144 hz, the game seems to lock itself to 80fps for whatever reason and looks terrible. It looks like the periodic stutter I have on 60fps, except constant and much more pronounced.

If my monitor is on 240hz, the game runs at ~170 fps. It doesn't look quite as smooth as 60fps on 60hz, but now it doesn't have the occasional stutter and rotating camera feels the same consistently.

Tl;Dr - Monitor on 60hz looks good with periodic stutter. Monitor on 240hz looks slightly worse with no stutter. Monitor on 120 / 144hz looks like garbage.

I'm super confused as to why this can be the case. What is going on here? Shouldn't higher FPS look better? It's my understanding that if the game fps is higher than the refresh rate, then I might get screen tearing, but here my refresh rate is always higher than the game fps, so that can be the case, right?

Is the lore from the official Genshin Impact manga fully canon to the game?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 07:51 PM PST

The Genshin Impact manga pre-dates the videogame by quite a bit, and as a result of this many minor details were changed in the final product like names (the Knights of Favonius for example were called Ordo Favonius), characters clothes and so on.

So far the manga has been more explicit than the game in showing the nature of certain factions/characters. The Fatui mostly, but not limited just to them.

Yet, so far the game doesn't seem to have really made any of this very explicit outside some minor details like:

Sometimes characters seem to omit info that you would think they would mention:

At the same time, the game does indeed reference the manga multiple times. For example:

The question is therefore simple. Is there any indication if the lore darker elements are still canon or have been retconned for the game to have a lower age rating?

Should I wait until post-game to read Secret Reports?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 03:03 PM PST

While playing through week 3 of NEO: TWEWY, I managed to obtain Secret Report No. 3 by accident. Apparently it unlocks after completing 70% of the Social Network. This surprised me, as Secret Reports in the original TWEWY couldn't be obtained until you beat the main story, as they contained major end-game spoilers.

If I'm looking to avoid spoilers, should I wait until I beat the main story to read Secret Reports?

How do you teleport an item using a command block when the item is in a certain spot?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 06:01 PM PST

I am making a one block skyblock that is going very well except the items fall off the edge when they shouldn't because a command block should teleport the item to the infinity block, but they aren't. Why and how can I fix it?

Minecraft Bedrock Edition default blocks

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 08:06 PM PST

Is there any documentation of the original Minecraft blocks behavior JSON? I'm not looking for blocks.json, I'm looking for individual vanilla blocks and their components such as stone.json, glass.json, etc. I can't find it in the Vanilla Behavior Pack, and poking around the apk file doesn't seem to be helping either. It would be really helpful as a guideline when making custom blocks in addons.

Thank you for your time.

How do you import/export minecraft texture packs onto Ps4 Bedrock Edition?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 04:05 PM PST

So, I've been trying to add textures to my worlds because it's getting old seeing the same look of cobblestone. I've tried everything I can, downloading .mcpack files, going to ps4 menu and to saved data management, but the files I add to my USB stick dont show up in that stick, I've also tried formatting the USB, but to no avail. Anybody have a solution?

How the Hit Point color bar is calculated?

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 03:44 AM PST

I have Silver and Gold (the 2nd gen) in mind, but I guess the logic is the same for the whole serie. I would like to know how the Hit Point color bar is calculated.

Pokemon fight screenshot

I guess it would be something like:

  • Green: from full to half
  • Orange: from half to 10%
  • Red: from 10% to 0

Is it ever explained why Gorons are allowed in Gerudo Town?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 08:35 PM PST

There are two gorons inside Gerudo town, who were allowed inside Gerudo Town, despite being men. One of them even wonders himself why he was allowed entry in the first place.

Is it ever explained somewhere why they were allowed in? Like... are Gorons and Gerudo best buddies or something?

Any way to complete an assignment by save editing or console commands?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 05:02 PM PST

I completed Feros before grabbing the freelancer's data, so now I can't complete the assignment. Is there any way to complete that assignment with console commands or by editing the save?

TTG Minecraft Story Mode cloud saves fail

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 12:06 AM PST

I have played Story Mode on 5 iOS devices and 2 android devices. On all devices I am unable to get cloud saving to work. One device I was initially able to enable it but it never works (when saving there is a red x on the cloud indicating failed save).

My internet is not an issue. I'm able to use other game feature that use the internet.

Has anybody else experienced this and know how to fix it?

Issue occurs on iOS 9.0.2 and 9.1 (no jailbreaks). I forgot the android version but I think it's 4.1.

Is there a limit to how long I can hold items in my mailbox?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 07:03 PM PST

I know that I can only hold a maximum of 8 items in my mailbox in Pocket Frogs. Right now, I'm using it as kind of a pseudo-storage while I make more money to be able to afford to buy more habitats. The ingame Help section doesn't mention anything about there being a limit to how long you can keep items in your mailbox, but I want to make sure that there truly isn't such a limit.

I have a few frogs that I have found and that have been sent to me that I'm leaving in my mailbox because I don't currently have room for them. Is it safe to leave items there, or do I risk them being accidentally deleted if I let them linger for too long?

Is there a way to turn on anti-aliasing?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 03:01 PM PST

I've become spoiled by modern graphics. I'd like anti-aliasing in this game, but there isn't an option for it in the menus. Is there a way to turn it on?

I've found this steam forum post, but either I am doing something wrong or it doesn't work for me. Maybe someone else will have better luck and be able to clarify the process for me?

The Saarthal Amulet does not show up in my inventory

Posted: 03 Jan 2022 04:51 AM PST

I have started the "Under Saarthal" quest and once I remove the amulet from the door and get trapped, it does not show up in my inventory. I have re-loaded several times with no luck. In one case I even reloaded to the start of entering the quest and then went off and completed other quests and sold stuff etc. but when I returned to the quest, the same issue occurred at the exact same point. Again, I have reloaded but to no avail. I have confirmed that I am not looking for the wrong item, it is simply not in my inventory. This issue is preventing me from progressing the Mage's and Forbidden Legend questlines. Any ideas?

How do I get the templars to attack my dens?

Posted: 02 Jan 2022 01:50 PM PST

I have captured every den in the city and one of the assassins challenges is to win three den defences. I noticed this at DNA sequence 3. I am now at DNA sequence 6 and they haven't even attacked one of them. Please help me.
