Minecraft Snapshot 17w49a

I heard that farms are popular right now, so I raise you my 24 chunk 5 layer farm built in survival.

Underground wheat farm.

Dinnerbone: There will be a snapshot in about an hour or so. Nothing super special, mostly bug fixes and a new data thing.

Dear Mojang, please make sticky pistons able to leave blocks behind again

Posted: 06 Dec 2017 09:53 AM PST

I can't think of a single medium to large build where I haven't used this behaviour.

The feature:

  • makes logical sense: inertia causes the glue to not be strong enough
  • is used by countless contraptions:
    • (almost?) every 3x3 piston door
    • one of the easiest T-Flip-Flops
    • ...
  • doesn't cause harm: unlike quasi-connectivity, this isn't something a beginner stumbles over and might find confusing.

I realize that the "old" behaviour had initially been unintended and it may have been accidentally "fixed". I therefore believe there is hope for the absence of this to be declared a bug.

TL;DR: Please restore the old behaviour.

UPDATE: Grum has commented on MC-122911:

These changes which caused this bug to get fixed are changed so this 'feature' is no longer affected.

[17w49a] Sticky pistons no longer leave blocks behind, but we were warned over a year ago!

Posted: 06 Dec 2017 08:45 AM PST

Remember this post?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/5c752g/help_us_decide_should_observers_update_at_1_or_2/

In particular, this quote:

Allows tricking sticky pistons into dropping blocks (note that this behavior is technically a bug and not future proof anyway)

Well, in 17w49a, the bug has now been fixed! Sticky pistons should now never leave blocks behind when retracting.

Before you start complaining that this breaks your builds, though, you should consider that you were given over a year to change your builds to not rely on this bug, so it's not like this is a surprise or anything.

The bug never made sense logically, either. Some people would compare it to yanking a tablecloth from a table without pulling the dishes on top of the tablecloth. This is a cleaver analogy, but it falls flat when you realize that this would only make sense if sticky pistons could retract faster than normal. Due to another bug ("0-ticking", I believe), sticky pistons could retract faster than normal.

But that's the problem. Due to another BUG they could do this. I haven't checked if that particular bug has also been fixed in 17w49a, but whatever the case, it means that the leaving-blocks-behind behavior doesn't make sense no matter how you slice it. Sticky pistons should always extend and retract at the same speed, so their behavior should always be the same regarding how their pull/push blocks.

Additionally, the biggest use-case of the leave-blocks-behind bug is a common t-flip-flop design, but there are other ways to make a t-flip-flop. Other use-cases I've seen tend to also rely on other edge-case behavior and bugs anyway, so it's kind of expected that those contraptions would break.

Anyway, that's my thoughts on this recent fix. I hope it doesn't get reverted. But what about you folks? What do you think?

Looks like Minecraft figured out my opinion on the store in Bedrock Edition

By using boats to do trigonometry, we can easily achieve dynamic 3D ray casting in 1.13

Posted: 06 Dec 2017 10:37 AM PST

I have just done a proof of concept in my test world. Unfortunately due to this issue the point you're using will lag about a tick behind where you would want, but that isn't a huge issue.

Video demo

Function download

How it works:

Previously we had to teleport boats forwards and backwards to do ray casting. Now, with 1.13, we can get the coordinates of the armorstands into the scoreboard and use the difference between their positions to compute a vector in the direction the player is looking. Just like before, this only works horizontally. However, we can use a simple trick to achieve it vertically too: Just set a second boat's yaw value to the player's pitch. Then it rotates according to how far up or down the player is looking, and we can get an xz vector from it that represents the player's pitch. Then we just combine the horizontal xz vector and the vertical xy vector by using the y from the xy vector, and multiplying the x and z of the xz vector with the x of the xy vector. Bingo, 3D raycasting using vectors stored in the scoreboard, obtained from boats.

If you want to use it the demo, run the exp:summon_ray_boat and exp:summon_vray_boat functions, then set the gameLoopFunction to exp:ray_cast

My wheat farm. A more efficient design, for a more industrialized age. 100% vanilla and survival.

Do you decorate your Nether portals? I like to make modern quartz structures around them

BUT I would really like to see how everybody has their sheep farm with all colors of sheep set up... I'm stuck and needing inspiration :,)
