    Thanks. BUT this laptop I currently have is 5 years old... and my CPU is 2nd generation... and my laptop was originally Windows 7 Home Premium... and what year is your AMD from?


    Don't know the exact year, but I bought my PC at least 4 years ago. The CPU is not great, but honestly, I think my current bottleneck is the graphics card. And it would be nice to have a solid state drive instead of a mechanical drive, but I'm not made of money.

    I'm new to MCW10, but have been playing PC since alpha.


    I'm looking into modding, and discovered MCW10 has 'behavior packs' instead of mods. I can't find much info on what things are possible with them. Seems like you can only change the behavior/appearance of a type of mob (and not create new ones). Does this include any of the following?

    • variations of mobs (like sheep, villagers, tamed cats)
    • spawning requirements (light light level, biome, rarity)

    I've only just begun to explore modding behavior packs, but I can sort of answer those two points.


    Variations : You can add new varieties of sheep, villagers, cats, etc. that have different behaviors or features, but you can't add new varieties that look different. I successfully created a new cat breed (savannah) that looks like an ocelot, but is tame. (I'm sure other people have done this already, too.) Using component groups to implement subvariants and assigning these randomly at spawn, you can have variants. Visually, though, you can only change the size to distinguish the variants, unless you want to replace the existing textures. You can't add new textures, though.


    Spawning : There are filters for depth underground and biome, which are used, for example, to replace some zombies in a desert with husks. Can't recall if there was a light level filter, but the wiki should answer that question.



    Also curious if mojang has hinted at any future plans they have for this format, for any of the following things
    • custom items
    • custom blocks
    • custom recipes
    • custom guis
    • custom behaviors
    • adding mobs without replacing them
    • custom biome generation
    • custom structures

    The official page for add-ons states they plan to unlock behavior changes for blocks. The textures for structure blocks are already in the game, and 1.2 is planned to have the actual structure blocks but with limited functionality, but who knows exactly what that means? That's probably the only "custom structures" that will be implemented. The Java version is going to have custom crafting recipes, and Mojang has stated that almost everything in the Java edition will be added to Bedrock, so I guess you could call that confirmed.

    I haven't seen anything about the other features.

    I'm a small YouTuber and am struggling to record Minecraft on my computer. I have resorted to using my phone, which does an okay job. I have ditched OBS Studio for now, because it records at less at 0.1 fps in the output. Other apps, like VSDC Free Screen Recorder have done slightly better.


    I'm no expert, but I've been thinking about recording and uploading to YouTube myself, so I've been experimenting with settings. I have an AMD A6-3620 2.20 GHz... I basically gave up trying to compare CPUs, especially comparing AMD to Intel, after the Pentium days, but I think maybe your processor is better? And I'm running Windows 10 Home, too. But I have no problems with recording with OBS. I did tests with both the Java version and W10 (bedrock). The Java version was worse quality, but I still got 30 fps.

    I think the main difference between our systems is RAM. I have 16 GB. If you upgrade your RAM and are careful with running other apps at the same time, you should have no problem with OBS, and the other apps you had better results with should be even better. Also, make sure you have lots of hard drive space, and look up info on virtual memory. I tinkered with mine to make sure it would be good for recording.
