Most underrated comment on all of Lemmy.
Fuck Notch
Hard agree, fuck him for his dumb views, also I feel like I'm getting some downvotes because of him 🤣
I feel like I hadn't heard shit about Notch since Trump's first term. Is this a bad sign
I assume he is still transphobic trash.
This. I strongly disagree with his decision to let Microsoft take over the thing that is basically cocaine for kids.
Okay, for me the racist and general far right stuff is the bigger problem with Notch.
Didn't he get all fucked up and miserable from all that money from the sale to MS?
Ten years of early retirement is probably enough time to refuel his interest in creating

His controversy section on wikipedia is fascinating. Is he still a Q believer?
Yeah I was wondering the same when K saw a similar post earlier... Can't find anything about his current views or beliefs.
His positions have swung around a lot, and apparently he's inclined to depression and moods swings? I hope he's come out of the cult thinking, at least, and making a new game is a sign he's not in that obsessive mindset anymore. I'm not interested in giving him my money, but it'd be better for everyone if he wasn't into conspiracies.
That's good to hear, I think. Not all bad.
Yowza
Notch is a fascist.
Who's Notch? I thought Hatsune Miku made Minecraft.

No no you're wrong, the creator of Mein Kraft was Hitler!! It was created in 1939 and then it caused WWII!!

I mean, to this day I haven't played a Minecraft clone that left me satisfied so I doubt Mr. Bored Depressed Billionaire over there will manage to capture lighting in a bottle twice...
(And I doubt he's using his free time to learn a new programming language either so it's gonna be Java again god help us all)
Real talk what's wrong with Java? It's runtime is rock solid at this point and it's a very mature lang with a great ecosystem.
To be fair I'm being a dickhead.
I'm sure Minecraft's slowness has more to do with how it was built/tech debt and such than Java itself, as the mods that massively boost performance show.
You know why villagers cause so much lag if there's too many and they're allowed to roam free? Well, rather than optimise their pathfinding logic they just... recalculate their paths every goddamn frame. They also take shortcuts in calculating their paths to reduce this overhead, so their movement is derpy and frequently kills them.
You could make the path then record all the blocks they will interact with, and only recalculate if one of those blocks changes. Boom, millions of operations eliminated, and you've got some spare time to make sure the paths will actually work. You could also stagger pathfinding so if a bunch of villagers need a path all at once - like you just blocked a path to where they were all going - you could spread out that load, and prevent lag spikes.
But they don't do that, so people end up sticking them in tiny boxes on top of carpets so they stop trying to pathfind. Just absurd stuff.

I believe he has been using JS now so all is good 🙏

I thought there already was a spiritual successor to Minecraft: Vintage Story
Huh. That looks neat. Any favorite parts you'd like to share?
Friends and I have had servers up for years now. It only looks like Minecraft on the surface, it plays pretty differently beyond placing cubes of stuff down. It's survival focused, so there's cooking and hunting etc. Making in pretty minimal and then you need to smelt the ores down, hammer ingots into what you're crafting voxel by voxel, and climb up the ladder of materials while dealing with more and more complex processes to make better items.
There's seasons that affect crop growth and animal health, and your internal body temp is tracked so if you don't wear warm enough clothing or let it go to tatters you'll freeze to death in winter. If that starts to suck hard enough you can travel thousands of blocks toward the equator and the average temp will go up as you do. There's no biomes like MC, areas are populated based on average seasonal temps and rainfall dynamically. Altitude affects these too.
It's neat.

Notch has a track record of announcing things he wouldnt add
I am still waiting for fortress mode to be added to Minecraft, for the planned dlc and for the game to be licensed under an open source license
Don't forget the story mode he said they're be adding.
Api when
Did they ever actually specify what they meant with that promise?
I mean, datapacks ARE a modding API. Not the kind we would have liked to see, but if a modding api is all they promised, then they did deliver on that.
It's called data-driven modding, and not exactly a rare approach among official modding APIs.
Hasnt that been added in bedrock edition?
No idea but it was promised for Java
Yes, the DLC we were promised for life for buying it during alpha.
There's no Infiniminer 2 for him to crib ideas from though so hows that gonna work
Infinifactory?
Okay, but haven't we already had this in the form of [ Insert Failed Game Here ] or Luanti?
I eagerly look forward to not playing it.
Only white people will be allowed to play.
Sounds like he finally ran out of that Microsoft money.
Note it says work on, not finish.
He still never finished Minecraft.
At this point, he should just rehire Jen's to do it again.
Pretty sure Terraria already exists.
