As a returning player: The recipe book is the QOL update that Minecraft needed

Posted: 10 Jun 2017 02:12 PM PDT

It's been like 2-3 years since I last played Minecraft consistently, but not for lack of trying.

The thing that always stopped me from having a great time with it was how unintuitive it could be. I hated that I couldn't just sit down and play without a wiki, guide or app on-hand. With every new update, it only got harder.

"How do I craft fences again?"

"Which way do bows go?"

"Did they change this recipe?"

So, with that in mind, you can probably imagine how surprised I was to learn that the recipe book is being received poorly. And honestly... I still don't get it.

Crafting is not a skill.

Nobody is born with an encyclopedia of recipes in their head, and there's nothing skillful about visiting Minecraft Wiki.

Just because you had to hammer recipes into your head through many years of contrived alt+tabbing doesn't mean everyone else should have to.

Mojang isn't here to inflate egos, they're here to make the game accessible and fun.

Don't confuse making Minecraft more user-friendly with making Minecraft easier. It doesn't have to be a pain in the arse!

Why is the advancement "A Seedy Place" illustrated by wheat instead of a seed ? Plus there's already an advancement illustrated by wheat...

Recently bought a Xbox One S and it came with Minecraft plus a few other things. Free Codes!

Posted: 10 Jun 2017 08:22 AM PDT

Minecraft isnt my cup of tea, so I figured I should give away the codes instead of keeping them in the box not being used.

Windows 10 Beta: 7MCPR-3DRP9-T3QQD-PG6H4-QVYPZ

Minecraft (includes Favourites Pack): GK7RW-6R7JD-RDGWK-DDFJT-V947Z

Minecraft Builder's Pack: GXW6F-97GGY-P4M9W-9Y7TR-YQFYZ

Xbox Live Gold (14 Days): NQF2W-RVB2T-VYQ3G-MR4V2-27H4F

Have fun!

Edit #1: Builder's Pack has been claimed.

Edit #2: Windows 10 Beta has been claimed. All of the other ones are still available to my knowledge.

ELI5: Why is coloured lighting so hard to implement?

Posted: 10 Jun 2017 09:40 AM PDT

Bearing in mind I know almost nothing about coding and any of the really technical details, why is it that Mojang still think coloured lighting would be too difficult? Is it something to do with the programming language? (I know literally almost zero about programming, so bear with me please). Would it lag too much or something?

Now, I know everybody HATES people comparing this game to Roblox, and PLEASE don't start flame wars in the comments over which is better, I really don't care. But for those unfamiliar with Roblox, it has a pretty good dynamic lighting system, where any colour on the RGB scale can be used as lighting. All 16,777,216 of them. Now I have no clue how Roblox is written and how Minecraft is written, I cannot stress this enough, but if Roblox and many other games have pulled off the coloured lighting, why hasn't Minecraft been able to do it?

I am aware the devs have said it would be too hard to implement, but why actually is that?

EDIT: And not to mention mods have done it reasonably well.

Tutorial: Custom Recipes in Minecraft 1.12

Posted: 10 Jun 2017 05:30 AM PDT

Custom Recipes in Minecraft 1.12, for those of you that don't know adding custom recipes in Minecraft 1.12 is actually pretty easy. First off you're gonna want a profile for just this, so that when you run the game it doesn't automatically update all your recipes out of minecraft.

(Now technically this is a mod, but it works with any version of Minecraft that has a recipe folder under assets in the minecraft.jar.)

To make this custom profile your work your gonna need to copy paste a currently installed minecraft version, which are stored in the .minecraft/versions folder. From here copy paste the folder named 1.12 to somewhere safe.

This is where it gets tricky, from here you want to open the 1.12.json in the folder you copied and copy all the text, from there go here, http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ and paste all of the text in. Then in the top left, press format. It should look much more readable now.

Now you want to remove everything between "assets": "1.12" and "id": "1.12" beginning with "downloads": { and press format again to make the json work. Also change the 1.12 in the id to the name of your custom profile. Link to image describing this better http://imgur.com/a/FKN6y

Now assuming that all worked, change the name of the folder, the jar file and the json file that you copied from the versions folder, make sure you have them all as the exact same name, or Minecraft won't find the version. Once you have done that, copy the folder with the changed names and altered json file back over to the versions folder.

Test that the game runs and that the jar file and json file don't update. Personally I look at the time stamp. If they don't update you are good.

From here use this website to make your custom recipes. https://crafting.thedestruc7i0n.ca/ This website outputs json files, that you will want to rename in all lowercase letters and using underscore for spaces, like this cobblestone_stairs, once you have made your custom recipes, all you have to do is add these json files to the jar file. This is a simple process, and unlike other mods you don't need to delete the META-INF folder.

Open the jar with any zip file reader, I prefer 7zip for this as it's free, but use whatever you have, then navigate to the assets/minecraft/recipes from here you should see a collection of json files, add your own recipes to these, and Minecraft will read them, and that's it. Enjoy your custom recipes without waiting for 1.13.

Now if you get this odd bug where some things are crafting that's caused by a non working custom recipe, I have no idea what causes it, but it does happen. I assume it's probably a bug, and that it will eventually get fixed.
