#AND the modding scene is better on java

[dr-jigglebones]

@ Minecraft Bedrock players,

yeah uh same question sorry

@ Minecraft Java players,

How do you do it?

[tariqk]

Cut to spare the dash.

Quick commentary on the fact that with the introduction of Minecraft's Bedrock edition, the Java edition days are numbered, but not because of what Bill Gates' opinions of Java are (he no longer runs Microsoft), or whether Minecraft will be harder to mod in C++ than in Java (not necessarily, if it's engineered well enough).

There are good technical reasons to do it — while you can have performant code running on multiple cores and GPU with the JVM, it takes work that would be better put in making the native code portable, and have an API that easily covers at least 80% of the modding use-cases — but I get the feeling that the real reason is because they want to change the way they make money.

Selling enough copies won't be enough, despite how often they tout the amount of sales Mojang made on Minecraft, and how Minecraft is history's best-selling game. That doesn't matter, year-on-year revenue matters. Which means rather than selling game copies, which are one-off purchases that only matter in the year of purchase, it means selling subscriptions, which includes subscription to Realms, costs for server hosting, microtransaction for not only skins and cosmetics, but also mods. That's where the real money is, because that's monthly, yearly revenue.

I mean, code running on the JVM may or may not be more easily modded than native code, but one thing I do know, also, is that code running on the JVM is far more subvertable than native code. This has consequences not only on security — in case you didn't know, the JVM is a pretty big malware vector that spans across platforms — but also of control.

There are already tools that can de-obfuscate minecraft.jar so that modders can see how the code works. That's harder to do with native code. There are launchers that can patch minecraft.jar and do things like introduce funky shaders and optimize engine performance, but also introduce things like subverting the DRM. These things can be done with native code, but they are harder to do, and, for the most part, criminal offenses, thanks to Section 1201 of the DMCA. Yeah, you could prosecute people for tampering with your DRM with the JVM, but again, it's harder to do so.

Like, I'll be real, from a consumer's perspective, these things can be seen as a net plus. Right now if you wanna enter the mod scene, or play on multiplayer servers, you have two choices: either rely on the community to provide, in which case you might need to do the occasional dance with shady-as-hell advertising providers, or open yourself to malware, or… you can stick with the ecosystem that Microsoft and Mojang (mostly Microsoft) want to build. And it'll be a cheap, clean ecosystem, with Mojang's guiding hand telling you what you can and can't do with your software.

I mean… that's already happening, most modders and technical players have to do this cat-and-mouse game with Mojang already, yes, even on the Java edition, on running exploits, in future things will be… you know, just cleaner. Better user experiences for people who just want to build stuff and have fun.

I mean, it's not just about money: this move will already clean out the grifters and scammers and the fly-by-night operators of the Minecraft community. And I have to be clear here, the reason why the grifters, scammers and fly-by-night operators exist aren't because Minecraft is open, but that it's not — these are all because Minecraft is closed-source, is a closed standard, with only one vendor, who makes decisions behind closed doors, so the only people who can make headway are the ones who are already determined to break the law in one way or another. And it hurts Mojang's revenue. Or, you know, it cuts into their projections.

What's basically happening is that being a grifter and scammer will become harder, and it'll be like those people who run unauthorized MMO servers: the only reason you wanna go there is because you're broke and desperate or you want something from the old wild west days of your gaming experience that was never there in the first place.

So, yeah. They'll move to Bedrock eventually. And honestly there's not much players can do about it.

How to download and use the Curseforge Better Minecraft modpack - World Time Todays

💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 Minecraft has always had a thriving modding scene producing lots of user-created content to renew the Minecraft experience, with mod packs such as the Better Minecraft Modpack providing players with new biomes to explore, mobs to encounter, and bosses to fight. Two main editions of Minecraft, Bedrock and Java Edition, are currently available for players to download. Some Minecraft mods have even become famous in the Minecraft community, with players seeking out mods to improve the already excellent base game experience by adding new content or fixing technical issues and improving game performance. For the unfamiliar, Modpacks gather dozens of mods from different modders together into a feature-rich, curated bundle of user-created content. However, unlike some other games, Minecraft has a few commonly used mod loaders, and installing Modpacks such as Better Minecraft can be a little tricky, especially for players new to modding. Players should also note that two versions of Better Minecraft are available: one for the Fabric mod loader and another for the Forge mod loader. Generally, Forge is preferred by the Minecraft modding community; Fabric is less well-known and has a much smaller library of compatible mods, potentially making it trickier for players to add new content, such as a Minecraft mod adding an adorable straw golem. Players can download Forge , making sure to get the version that matches the current version of their Minecraft install and run the downloaded installer file to install it. Forge should be listed as an installation in the Latest Release drop-down menu. Players should then install the Curseforge application , which is needed to ensure Better Minecraft is installed correctly. Players should then be able to play Better Minecraft, an interesting and arguably very different iteration of a procedurally generated wilderness. Luckily, players who try Better Minecraft and find they prefer a simpler version of the game can always swap back using the Latest Release drop-down menu. The 1. Source: Curseforge.

How to Install Mods for Minecraft Forge : 5 Steps - Instructables

💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 This article explains how to get Minecraft mods on PC and Mac. Instructions apply to the original Java version and the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft. The basic steps involved in installing Minecraft mods, if you're playing the original Java version on a PC or Mac, are:. Download and install Minecraft Forge if you don't already have it. Download a Minecraft mod from a trusted source. Place mod into your Minecraft folder. Launch Minecraft like you normally would. If you're playing Minecraft on a different platform, like Xbox One, then mods, skins, map packs and other additions are all referred to as add-ons. On these platforms, the process is even easier:. Click Store. Click an add-on that you want. Add-ons aren't free. If you're playing Minecraft on a platform that uses add-ons instead of mods, there is no way to install free mods. Click Unlock to purchase the add-on. Mod is short for modification, so a Minecraft mod is basically just something that alters anything in Minecraft from its original state to a different state. Mods can add new recipes to craft, add or change creatures in the game, and change the way the game plays in even more drastic ways. Other mods work behind the scenes to make the game run better, look better, or even add new features like virtual reality support. While it's possible to play without any mods, installing mods can breath new life into the game and and make it a lot more fun to play. Before you go looking for a mod to install, it's important to understand that there are two different versions of Minecraft, and each version handles mods in its own way. Mods are widely available and free, so finding and installing good ones can be complicated. The newer version is simply called Minecraft. It's available on Windows 10 , Xbox One , mobile phones and tablets, and other platforms. This version of the game lets you play with people on different platforms. For instance, you could play on your Xbox while a friend plays on their iPhone. Mods that were designed for the Java version will not work with this newer version. Choosing a minecraft mod is a matter of personal preference, since it really depends on what you want to change about Minecraft. If you're totally new to modding, then the best place to start is checking out a list of the best available Minecraft mods, or visiting a reputable source for mods. The best way to figure out what Minecraft mod to download and install is to ask yourself a few questions:. Since the pool of mods to choose from is so massive, there's a good chance that if you think of something you'd like to do with Minecraft, you'll be able to find a mod that can help. Another great way to choose a Minecraft mod is to check out YouTube videos. There are a ton of popular Minecraft YouTubers that test out different mods, so this is an easy way to see what looks like fun. The only thing you need to remember when choosing a Minecraft mod is that when Minecraft is updated, it can break older mods. So make sure to choose a mod that is compatible with the version of Minecraft that you have installed. Downloading Minecraft mods is extremely easy, and there are a number of relatively safe sources to find mods. Some modders have webpages where you can download a mod directly from the source, but it can be tough to tell whether or not a personal site like that is safe. The safest way to download Minecraft mods is to go to a source like The Minecraft Forum where mod creators upload their mods. The flip side of that is that you should avoid locations where people have uploaded mods that they didn't create, since there's no way to tell if the files have been altered. Downloading a Minecraft mod is as simple as locating a mod you want on one of these sources and downloading the mod file. The mod will then be saved to your computer, and you'll be able to install it. There are a lot of different ways to install Minecraft mods, but the most popular one is a program called Forge. This method requires you to download and install Forge, and it isn't compatible with all mods, but it is extremely easy. Once you have Forge installed, here how to use it to install a Minecraft mod:. Backup Minecraft files before installing any mod. Mods are usually harmless, and you can typically just delete them if they don't work the way you expected or you just don't want them anymore. However, there's always a chance that something could go wrong. With that in mind, it's a good idea to make a copy of your Minecraft. Locate a mod that you have downloaded, or download a new mod. If downloading a new mod, make sure to choose one that it is compatible your versions of both Minecraft and Forge. Locate the folder on your computer that contains Minecraft. Copy the. Launch Minecraft, make sure the Forge profile is active, and click Play. Click the mods button to verify that the mod was properly installed. If a mod won't install, make sure that it is compatible with your versions of Forge and Minecraft. There are also cases where one mod can prevent another mod from working. Mods for the non-Java version of Minecraft are called add-ons, and they aren't free. You buy them from the Minecraft store, which you can access from inside the game. There aren't as many add-ons available as there are mods for the original Java version of Minecraft, but you can find skin packs, texture packs, worlds, and what microsoft calls "mashups" in the store. If these terms are unfamiliar, they're actually pretty easy to understand:. Since the add-on ecosystem is closed, the process of getting add-ons is a lot simpler, and safer, than getting mods for the Java version. It isn't free, but it is all done from right inside Minecraft itself. Locate a skin pack, texture pack, world, or mashup that you want. Click Unlock. You will also receive the prompt to purchase Minecoins after clicking Unlock if you don't have enough. The add-on will install automatically. While Minecraft mods are usually pretty safe, there are always risks involved with downloading and installing files that you find on the Internet. Some of the most important concerns are:. Most of these potential problems can be avoided by only downloading Minecraft mods from reputable sources. If a mod is well known, and the creator of the mod has an official site, then that's always the safest place to download from. If you're not sure whether or not a mod is safe, then looking at a site like The Minecraft Forum is usually the best option. This allows you to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of the Minecraft community, but there are still some important things to keep in mind:. Some good resources for finding safe Minecraft mods include:. If you find a Minecraft mod site that you aren't sure about, check this list of unsafe and illegal mod sites on Github. The list isn't exhaustive, but if a site does show up on it, you're better off looking for the mod you want somewhere else. Another good idea is to look for videos on YouTube before you download a mod. This allows you to see what the mod looks like in action, check that there isn't any inappropriate content, and also verify that the mod is actually real. Whether you're looking for mods that improve the quality of game life or add richer details to Minecraft, there are tons of mods available. Our list covers some of the best we've found, including Optifine, Journeymap, and more. Unfortunately, you can't make a saddle in Minecraft. Instead, you can find saddles in Minecraft by exploring dungeons, temples, and strongholds. Or you can trade with a master-level leatherworker for a higher chance.

T 22 Synthesis: A twin-engined Kawasaki drag bike

There’s something pure and extremely entertaining about drag bikes. They’re hopelessly impractical, usually dangerous, and invariably ridden by folks with a scant regard for personal safety.

It’s hard to take that genre up a notch, but the top Indonesian shop Thrive has just gone one better than the typical eighth-miler. This extraordinary machine, nicknamed ‘T 22 Synthesis’ has not one but two engines. And those engines are tiny two-strokes, with a power band only slightly less forgiving than a light switch.

We suspected there might be a good story behind this build, and the Thrive crew confirmed it.

“The guys from Suryanation Motorland approached us with the idea of a contest called ‘Wheels of Inspiration’,” says Thrive spokesman Putra Agung. Entrants would write a story about their biggest dream bike, and the winner would be picked by Thrive, the local magazine GasTank, and the custom shop Lemb Inc.

Thrive suggested a theme of Sprint Racing to the organizers. “In Indonesia there are a lot of 1/8-mile street races, held illegally on main streets from midnight until the sun rises,” Putra reveals.

“It happens in many major cities, which means a huge number of potential fans. We admire the racers’ courage and enthusiasm, using creativity that exceeds the budget.”

One story submitted to the contest came from Adhi Saputra, a guy in his 20s with a strong connection to street racing culture in the Depok, West Java area. “Adhi idolizes Burt Munro and salt flat racing, and owns a Ninja 150RR two stroke,” says Putra.

“He’s dreamed about salt flat racing since his college days, and we agreed to choose him as the lucky winner.”

The crew at Thrive started digging into history, and came across ‘Dubble Trubble,’ the twin-engined Triumph built in the 1950s by Bud Hare. “Here in Indonesia we’ve seen some people add more pistons to an engine,” says Putra. “But as far as we know, we’ve never had two small-cc motors in one frame.”

Thrive decided to revive the old glory days with a modern approach, and brought Adhi’s bike into their Jakarta workshop. The perky 30 horsepower two-stoke 150RR motor went off to ace tuner and engine building Yosef Gumilar of Prama Motorworks: “He’s well known for restoring many XS650s using his knowledge as a racer from 90s,” Putra explains.

Yosef successfully created the most unlikely twin-engine setup, with heavy mods to the ignition, ported and flowed heads, 270 degree racing crankshafts, a lightened flywheel and a quick-shifter. “There are few more secret things going on that we can’t tell you about!” says Putra.

“All that work makes a bangin’ short range cruise missile. We also called Lectron to order the specific carburetor for our engine configuration, and they did a great job on it.”

At the exhaust end, the lengthy pipes and expansion chambers were crafted by local racebike specialist Kawahara from stainless steel.

At a glance, the stock Ninja 150RR looks like any other plastic-clad teenager screamer, so Thrive have ditched everything except for the drivetrain. Then a new frame was built with aluminum tube, following cues from old-school drag bikes, and using Thrive’s first custom frame jig.

“The idea was to create something light—for the best power to weight ratio. And staying low, to reduce wheelies off the line. It’s 168 centimeters [66 inches] from center wheel to wheel, only 6.5 cm from the ground, and 60 cm at the highest point.”

“It was designed and built the old-fashioned way.”

The old-fashioned way was also a difficult way. Thrive have used a top yoke from a Suzuki RGR 150, another mostly Asian model, merged with a Kawasaki fork shortened by 100 mm.

The rims are 17 inchers, with an aluminum disc cover at the back, and shod with Goodyear Eagle tires

The cockpit is bare, with an RPM, voltmeter and temperature gauages from AutoMeter and Koso. Ahead of the custom bars, outfitted with controls from local specialist KTC, is a mesh fairing that echoes the shape of the chunky radiator behind the front wheel.

The monocoque bodywork is brushed aluminum and handmade, with a lengthy seat pad made in house and offering plenty of room to move around on. The metalwork is finished off with paint by Agung Castavo, one of the top pin stripers in Indonesia.

Thrive has a reputation for being one of the world’s most inventive builders, but this twin-engined Ninja takes things to a whole new level.

It might not be as fast as ‘Dubble Trubble’ and it’s unlikely to make it across the Pacific to the salt flats. But we reckon it’s going to cause a stir on the street racing scene in Jakarta.
