But it is actually not that hard. It only looks intimidating
Honestly, I used to find these contraptions impressive. Then I learned actual programming. Now it just looks like a really terrible programming language to me.
I guess, it's impressive that someone would have the masochism to voluntarily subject themselves to this. But it might also just be a case of terrible life decisions, which wouldn't be as impressive.
Having taken basic circuit design, building and and or gates from scratch, and then working up the stack to assembly language... Redstone is not all that bad.
Well, I would call assembly a pretty terrible programming language, too. 😅
I guess, my point is that Redstone is fine for the occasional AND gate or even combination of a few logic gates. But these folks implement whole programs in Redstone, manually building tons of logic gates and having to invest hours to correct even tiny mistakes in their design. That just sounds more like a job than fun gameplay.
(I guess, this is their job in lots of cases, but you know, they still could've chosen to create different content.)
People do wood-carving, knitting and painting and other hobbies with minute details.
HermitCraft is leaking into my life more than I ever imagined a Minecraft smp ever would
i stop paying attention to hermitcraft and now like 3 years later it's really popular and everyone is talking about it
What's the prevailing consensus on Iskall now? I read an article on the drama a few months ago, he used to be one of the main guys I would watch every episode from (alongside Grian, Mumbo, and Xisumavoid)
He made a whole video about it. I stopped watching him after that video. Some of the phrases he used didn’t sit well with me. Who knows what actually happened but he gave me a not great vibe.
Yeah, I feel like if it was actually not that bad he could have been a lot more open and communicative around the whole thing.
I love Mumbo.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
