Ah, nice to hear! I forgot that the new console versions actually have that system and aren't roped off like the old ones lol

Minecraft: Better Together |OT| Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children?
- Thread starter GulAtiCa
- Start date
Man, I know it's probably a target age thing and/or the fact that Era is more of a hardcore gamer forum, but it still surprises me how inactive this OT is, considering Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time.
Anyway, I got an idea to look through old SNES/Gameboy games for village build inspiration, because I have fond recollections of some of the towns/cities of that era. In particular I was looking for towns with clean layouts and tasteful designs, and nothing too complicated because I'm still relatively new at this game. It's funny how difficult it is, at least when you're new, to organize a village in a way that isn't too chaotic or too grid-like/sterile.
So far my favorite examples come from Dragon Quest V, and in particular:
Whealbrook
Roundbeck
Lodestar Harbour
Mostroferrato
Stockenbarrel
I've browsed through maps/images of Zelda and Pokemon games too, but DQV remains my favorite so far. Just nice, relatively simple designs that are pleasing to the eye.

Honestly most OT's are dead aside from a few games with really dedicated fanbases. Rocket league is another huge game and we are lucky to get few posts a week. Same with tarkov.

You should see our discord group, it's really dead there lol. But, we are all basically waiting for the big 1.18 update to do a big realm reset. So, that's kinda the big reason why haven't seen much update around here or there.
But, in mean time I joined a local friends realm and have been busy. I'll do some screenshots when i get a chance

Wow good timing for me then lol, because yesterday I downloaded Optifine for the first time. I have an upper-mid level PC build yet I was getting some huge FPS stutters/lag spikes while cutting down trees, and through my googling I found out about Optifine and that it supposedly makes Minecraft run smoother. Installed it and my game is running noticeably smoother. Great mod.
Should we add some helpful links to the OP? Could be nice to have some resources/learning materials for newer players. Here are my go-to sites:

I'm enjoying my time playing Minecraft on the Xbox. But I feel like without mods on console I'm missing 50% of the fun :((( I mean you can't even hold a torch on your off hand. Sucks to be a console peasant.
Ok not sure if this is the best place for it but here goes.
I have Minecraft for switch, and IOS. Recently my son bought a minecoin card and we added it to the Microsoft account. It registers as redeemed and everything.
except no matter the device I sign in on it does not register the new minecoins.
has anyone here experienced this before?

So I can't install the java version at all anymore. I get the network file can't be reach and I need to point to the installer which doesn't work. What do I do!?
lmao I used to think this was a children's game, but Minecraft has already given me more jump scares than Resident Evil ever did, and now this shit looks terrifying

Was looking for this thread (as i dont think i can create one, as ive worked on the project), i work at one of the studios thats is a minecraft marketplace dev, and im really proud of what i have been working in all this past months that disney finally unveiled, and wanted to show it on resetera as a few peopkle really liked the sonic map another studio did.
Im a huge disney theme parks fan so this was a dream come true (always wanted to be an imagineer so this is the nearest im gonna be hahah). Was concept artist and advisor director in the project, and we poured our heart and soul into it.
I can assure you, if theres a ride or some official music missing, its not our fault, sadly theres always budgets constraints for this projects, but i hope that people that also enjoy disney parks and minecraft have a blast polaying it.
Some of the stuff our devs accomplished with the rides is mindblowing for minecraft. All the art team, devs, builders and sound team put our hearts and sould into this project.

Congrats on the release! I saw this earlier today and have been dying to get home and try it out. I just got back from a visit to WDW and have already been wishing I could go back, so the timing on this is funny for me.
You mentioned music; I saw someone on reddit mention for instance that the Tiki Room music is instrumental only without the vocals. Were there weird rights issues or restrictions or such that you guys had to deal with? I find that sort of thing interesting.
What kind of access did you get from Disney to study the ride and park assets to recreate it in the DLC?
Also I understand if you can't/aren't allowed to answer these questions! ha
Thanks :) im glad people seem to be really enjoying it
I cant really go into more depth but yeah, getting the rights of music and voice overs is much harder than it seems, even when you work with the parent company. The tiki room voices were a different matter actually, thats why we do have the right for a non lyrics version.
About the study of the rides, we got help from disney, but again without going much in depth, as im a huge disney parks fans and acted as the advisor director, i have ton of imagineering books and and know were to get blueprints from the internet and was faster sometimes than what they sent us hahaha. We also used a ton of ride footage from youtube to make the rides and use google maps to make a perfect size build, as the map is nearly 1:1 from the real thing.
I do have some anecdotes about working on it, like me going through hours of footage of its a small world listening the song for 6 hours non stop, just to help our audio team were to perfectly put all the audio cues in the ride lol
i really hope disney lets us release some of the concept art i made for the dlc, aswell as the map me and my workpartner Marci drew for so many hours in super high resolution (it only 1000x1000 in the game which looks pretty pixelated sadly).
Hooe you enjoy the map when you play it. And please would love to hear your opinions about it :)
Oh dear, I don't think I would have come out of that completely sane 🤣
Thanks for answering! I'll be sure to let you know what I thought once I've gotten a chance to play.
1.18 drops today!!
Yep, I'm looking forward to exploring the new terrain tonight!
The Caves & Cliffs Part II Update is here
What are you reading this for? There is so much to explore!
"We were so excited for the second part of this monumental update that we went ahead and prepared some Character Creator items. They will be available for free in Minecraft Marketplace until November 30, 2023, so grab them before that date and spelunk in style forever! "
Anyone know what they are? I am not a minecraft players, but usually tell my friend about minecraft free stuff so her kids can enjoy the free stuff.

Hi all! Our Era Realm is now ready to do a full reset with this new update. With a 2000 x 2000 world border to be used, so that we can easily continue onto the 1.19 with the Deep Dark Cities in the next update. With that in mind, we are looking at 5 possible seeds. You can vote for these on our Discord. (View/Quote the OP for link / invite)

Pictures. I don't even know that is new especially since googling is proving to be annoying with to much information that is mostly not if this update.
These are just two small corners of the huge newly-generated cave underneath my starter base:
We went exploring outside of our starter island and there was a massive cave system that dwarfed this; it spanned hundreds, possibly thousands of blocks and it was much higher/deeper.
My gf actually doesn't love the new cave generation so far because they're too big for her liking. I love it, but I'm more of the explorer/adventurer type and she's more of a builder.
I want to jump back into Minecraft with the new update being out, but I honestly have no idea what the "version to play" is these days. Last I heard the biggest downside of Windows 10 vs Java Edition was the lack of mod support, but I think Windows 10 version was better performance wise? What is the situation these days?
Spent another evening exploring and caving with my gf... and tbh I don't know how I feel about the new caves anymore.
On the one hand, I like the variations and am glad Mojang added them. On the other hand, the new cave systems are just so massive, and feel like there's no real payoff to all that exploring. It's just cave after cave with nothing really in them. Hopefully in the future they add more cool stuff to find down there, because right now it just feels like there's a missing ingredient.
I like the new terrain/biome generation a lot, and I LOVE the new lighting/mob spawning mechanic (mobs now only spawn in 0 light). There's a lot of other improvements in this update, so I'm very pleased overall.

Try generating an alternative code?
Never had an issue personally.
Found this on the feedback page and it explains my thoughts perfectly.
Go on Chunkbase and look up any 1.18 seed and you'll see what they mean. The entire map is now littered with massive caves. My current map has several caves around my spawn base's perimeter that are 5-10 thousand blocks wide. They are way too frequent to the point where just 2 days in I'm already sick of them. I really hope they tone them down.

Update: Now the entirety of the overworld is inside a cave.
It's caves all the way down.
(I actually haven't played since the update, but I do hope it isn't that overwhelming. I do remember thinking the ravines/strongholds back when 1.8 - the adventure update - came out was a bit too much too lol)

To give you a visual, this is my seed, with only cave biomes showing:
Those caves are massive and cover damn near half the map. That one north of my spawn is ~10,000 blocks long. They're not exactly hidden either; there's a lot of openings into these caves so the overworld now feels like you're walking over a giant ant colony.
I looked at a bunch of 1.18 seeds on Chunkbase and they're all like this. This is a feature, not a bug.
Need a little help. My little Realm that I host for about 10 people is about to do a map reset. I have several players that want to use RTX, but as a console player I do not have PC that can do RTX.
Is there a way for me to create an RTX-enabled world for the Realm even though I can't use it myself? Or am I gonna have to go over to someone's house and use their PC?

I'm interested in checking out Minecraft for the first time. Would my save file and worlds transfer/be available on any platform I purchase the game for? Like pick up on Switch, play tomorrow on PC, back to Switch the next? Is that how this Better Together thing works?
Better Together marketing was specifically about crossplay. If you want to play on the same world across multiple devices, you would need to pay for a "realm"(Minecraft servers hosted by Microsoft).
Ah, okay that's cool you can, though! Is that something I can do later even after I've started my Minecraft game? Or do I have to do that upfront?
You can do it later. The way realms work is the owner can upload a world to it and also download the world that is on it. So you can start a world on Switch, upload it to the realm, and then download it to your PC. Alternatively, you can just leave the world on the realm and play online.
Hey all, looking for some Minecraft players to compete in a Minecraft Survivor (like the social TV game). It's a TON of fun, a lot of work is put into it. It IS a bit of a time sink (though we work around schedules) and requires a decent amount of social interaction but it SERIOUSLY is great fun. You can take a look at the applications and see if it's something you'd be into :)

My son wants to start playing but I don't have any experience with the more modern version of minecraft. Any thoughts on what a good age is to start in on it?
