I waited for most of them to leave first. I do have a good crossbow tower setup, but the problem is that crossbows aren’t effective against undead.

Must be a day of the week that ends in y.

Yeah, modded Minecraft is still a big deal. You can join us over at !moddedminecraft@sopuli.xyz if you want. The mod Create is a big deal right now, and rightfully so. It may well be the greatest of all time, as far as Minecraft mods go.

Yeah, it’s hard to get people to care about stuff sometimes. Sometimes you just have to let it die.

Mostly just Minecraft out of the box. I feel that resource packs and certain performance mods like optifine could be accurately referred to as “vanilla with optifine” or “vanilla with such-and-such pack.” Once you get into datapacks or Forge or Fabric or hacked clients, it’s not vanilla.

Serverside, it’s a little more dodgy. How many server plugins can you have before it’s not vanilla?

That said, I don’t think there’s much reason to play Java Edition over Bedrock other than mods or wanting to play on older, pre-bedrock versions. Then again, I almost solely play modded anymore so I don’t have a lot of vanilla Bedrock under my belt to compare the two.

Intrinsically, definitely. Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, RimWorld, Victoria 2, and etc.

Pretty sure Forge is dead in the water. The majority of devs left for NeoForge, and it’s likely the majority of moddevs will follow.

Warsim deserves love. It’s a real passion project: a text-based kingdom management sim with lots of things to do and nooks and crannies to explore.

I loved John Deere American Farmer back in the day. Unfortunately it doesn’t work on modern machines. The menus don’t display right. If it wasn’t for that, it would be half-playable. The deluxe version might not have that problem, but I never got around to trying it.

One funny quirk was that family members would gain happiness from certain items (housing, bbq, pools, etc) and lose it from working. If happiness dropped too far for two long, you’d get an event about them leaving to join the French Foreign Legion or some other nonsense (there were a handful of variants.) The thing is, though, the happiness gained from these material possessions would degrade over time, meaning that it quickly evolved into a materialism simulator as you built pools (or giant statues of Paul Bunyan) to replace the pools that no longer where providing happiness.

You could also just hire people. That was usually the way to go if you wanted to get any serious work done. As long as you could pay wages, the hired help would stick around.

Seems half-baked. Are they trying to resurrect the flash game? It could work as a standalone thing, but I don’t see why it needs to be part of YouTube other than the fact they’re going to shove it in our faces just like they did their TikTok clone.
