Have you ever wanted to see a map of how a specific #minecraft seed generates? But you are playing with datapacks that modify worldgen? I've got an online solution for you: map.jacobsjo.eu (Works with some mods too, but not with all) #mcdev #DatapackShowcase

I wanted to give some perspectives on climate change and the relative values for CO2 and Carbon in general. So I scaled them all in Minecraft. The Scale of Climate Change youtu.be/Rmk6vAQN2p4

About a year ago, I held a panel at @smithed.net Summit about my Minecraft biome-layout editor Snowcapped, including a step-by-step guide on how to use it. I've finally uploaded an edited version of that panel. #mcdev www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S0L...

Today is the 5th anniversary of #Minecraft data pack #worldgen! Snapshot 20w28a added the ability to define custom biomes, structures, etc. through data packs. It's hard to overstate the impact this change had on modded worldgen. Very proud of what our community has made with it so far! #mcdev

I've tried to fix that one multiple times over the years. Finally had the right idea of how to do it. It was surprisingly simple.

I almost fell for a scam site today, pretending to be the homepage of an OSS project that I was looking for. It looked convincing until I scrolled to read more text. LLM slop is getting scary good at "looks good at a glance". I don't even know _how_ they managed this. Feeding LLM into LLM somehow?

I'm disgusted by the concept of generative AI tooling for Minecraft mods. This isn't the first one and it sure as hell won't be the last, but it made my blood boil regardless. (1/5) #mcdev #minecraft

I'm really glad I'm just developing a website for making zip files for a block game. Takes away a lot of pressure when rolling out major rewrites!
