Minecraft Forums

No, Mojang doesn't clear skin or name history. People in this thread have already given you advice on how to stop feeling harassed. You can't control what people do but you can control how you respond to them. If they aren't in your real life and just online that makes it even easier. Don't associate with them and put them behind you. If they reach out, ignore them. If people don't get a rise out of you then they will eventually move on. By letting bullies know they can get to you then it only encourages it to continue. This next advice is easier said then done but don't waste energy by dwelling on them. You only hurt yourself by doing that. Move on and do your best never to think about them again. Find different servers to play on, make new friends. If they obsess about you then it is their failing and not yours.

As for tracking your server history I don't really know where someone would type your name in to find anything. There isn't a registry of servers our accounts play on. My username is thecoffeeprince. Feel free to Google it. The most you will find is I used to have a Legend of Zelda skin, I've never changed my name, and I have an Enjin account that I never use anymore. You might find past posts I've made in server forums with that Enjin account but those were made in public forums so I never expected any sort of privacy with them.

I get the desire for privacy, I really do. In life I am an intensely private person. The information that can be gained by knowing my Minecraft username and skin is ultimately pretty useless.

Looks like smelting recipes will be added to the crafting book.

I like the way Falsesymmetry did it recently: she just put TNT on the top corners of the monument where the guardians usually are, surrounded it with slime blocks and a redstone block. She jumped in to kill the guardians one at at time, and that was it. I can't find her video, though, as it wasn't the title of the episode--within the past few weeks, though.

She made it look super easy, especially as she isn't a monster-hunter, typically.

Just a guess on my part, but maybe try one of the other updates for that mod in 1.10.2. A quick check on Curse shows it has five versions for 1.10.2 (the most recent being v2.0.4). Maybe there was a known issue that was fixed?

I'm discarding my current survival world but thought I should post some pictures of it before I do.

I'm very proud of how it came out. I think it's the prettiest one I've ever made.

Pictures!

Everyone here gave good advice. Best thing you can do it to just jump in and do it without overthinking and the awkwardness of talking to the mic will go away eventually. Same with listening to your own voice when you go back and edit the footage. No one likes the sound of their voice but after a week or two of editing your videos that will go away too.

Looks really nice. Awesome job.

You need to remove LavasoftTcpService64.dll. A quick google search turned up that is either malware or adware. Run a cleaner on your system and make sure that is removed and your game should work fine.

Minecraft is family friendly, there is nothing forcing users to play together

Hey, everyone, welcome to my survival journal/let's play of modded Minecraft. The primary focus of this will be the mobs and bosses of Advent of Ascension (Nevermine) and the dimensions of Mystcraft. There are also some smaller mods thrown in to make life more interesting.

Hey Hey!

Welcome to today's Chapter!

Chapter Fifteen- Butterflies, Desert Temples and Hippocamps!

This Chapter was a bit random, and I did indeed get myself a new Pet, because you cannot stop me once I have started Thanks for stopping by!

Endermen are three blocks tall, so they don't spawn in enclosed spaces as much as other mobs might do. You're best bet to find lots of them is probably on the surface at night, rather than underground in the caves. Try hanging out in a desert for a few nights, I'm sure you'll find plenty. For fighting them, I usually just sort of run backwards while I'm doing it...that way, even if they do teleport behind me, they end up right back in front of me just a second or two later. If you want you can make a 3x3 platform, with 2-high space underneath where you can hide form them and they can't reach you, but you can still whack them in their legs from a safe distance.

The only thing that prevent adults from playing games, is there responsibilities (work) thats it, there are many adults play games, but they sometimes stop because of theier work, unless his job is a youtuber.

So anone can play.

Sponges only really work well in small spaces, or long, tunnel like areas IME. The Frost Walker one I rem being mentioned too, but as I recall the blocks don't break that easily, and it was also said it would have to be done at night so the ice you freeze doesnt melt (I assume). But I guess it would be quicker.

For the outside of mine, I used sand. I did divide up the area into rough squares. It is a labour of love, but its a great farm, the drop rates are so ridiculous that if I leave my farm on for an hour, I have to leave it on for another 30mins to process all the drops (need to redesign my sorting from just having one filtration line into two lines). Never go hungry again with a multitude of fish, and if you have an XP mode (whereby you kill the guardians manually) the XP is awesome. Great for charging up my Enchanted Gear via mending.

Prior to the EULA change, servers were illegally making money with ranks, as the EULA stated that you couldn't use Minecraft to make money. With the popularity of servers and "pay to win," Mojang decided to actually do something about the crime, but knew that servers needed money to run, so they generously decided to make it so that servers could make money off of its players, but they would be donations that did not give any player an unfair advantage over others. Reversing the EULA to what it was would only make things worse.

If you decide to run a server, then you better have a reliable source of income. Minecraft is not a job, it's a game.

I know exactly what you mean. I remember when I first discovered how amazing it was where I had freedom to do whatever I want. When you defeated someone in PvP they didn't whine about "you h4cking". Minecraft was geared more toward building at this time, and it is what I call the "golden age". However, beginning sometime in mid 2015 when the 1.9 snapshots started coming out, it was clear to me that Minecraft was taking a turn for the worst. At this point, lots of players have gotten bored with building and want to do nothing but PvP. This is what Mojang started doing in 1.9, and from what I hear new players don't join the community because of building, all they want to do is PvP. I really miss the old Minecraft (pre 1.9) and unfortunately it seems Mojang has decided to stop listening to the Minecraft veterans and builders and start listening to the hardcore 10 year old PvPers who want the game literally as hard as possible. Think the 1.9 combat changes were bad? I am afraid that it will only get worse as they make combat even more complicated and begin to stop adding tons of new blocks. It is unfortunate what has happened to Minecraft, and it will probably only get worse as more and more PvPers join.

Actually, it seems a lot of people would argue that the decline in the community began earlier than 2015. Most say that it was in 2012, when the Xbox version was released and Minecraft really took off on Youtube, leading to a shift in the main demographic from teens and younger adults to 7-13 year-old children. Honestly, I can't really chip in on the subject, because although I consider myself a "veteran" of the game itself (I've been playing since mid-2011) I'm fairly new to the community itself (first discovered the forum in the summer of 2013 and didn't join until November 2015.) I can't pinpoint where exactly I'd say the community starting to decline in quality. I do remember Minecraft being much less of a "thing" prior to 2012, however. Back then, many people would say, "Minecraft? What's that?" and now hardly anyone doesn't know what it is.

On the main subject of this topic: "Minecraft is dying" and "The community is terrible" threads are nothing new. I don't mean to be rude, but essentially nothing the original poster has said, hasn't been said before. This seems like just another nostalgia thread that complains about how bad servers are and how small children in the community ruined Minecraft. Allow me to lay down a few points:

1. Minecraft is going to lose its "sparkle" for each player over time. It's the same with anything. The feeling of freshness and the unknown withers away, and you've become used to the game and you aren't surprised by it any more. This can be remedied with updates, mods, maps, multiplayer, and other things, but the original feeling of newness is gone for good.
2. Minecraft never had a target demographic. It's a mass-appealing game for everyone. Therefore, it was never truly intended for teens and adults, and thus it cannot be said that "children ruined Minecraft.”
3. Again, it cannot be said that “children ruined Minecraft.” Granted, they are responsible in part for the rise in merchandising and mass marketing of the game, as well as the explosion of it into media and widespread popularity (perhaps excessive popularity, at that) and a main portion of the immature behavior on and regarding servers. However, they did not ruin the game of Minecraft itself. Nothing has been added to or changed in Minecraft because of children. Combat hasn’t been removed or impaired for being “too violent”, monsters haven’t been altered or nerfed for being “too scary”, mechanics haven’t been dumbed down for being “too difficult”, so on and so forth.
4. If one finds the community to be loathsome, it is entirely possible to play Minecraft and still avoid the fandom. I’ve done it for more than five years. Singleplayer and LAN worlds provide a griefer-free, annoying-kids-free Minecraft experience.
5. There is ultimately no point in complaining about the state of Minecraft on the forum. No Mojang users regularly visit it, and even if they did, they aren’t going to change how they work just because of a dozen or so complaint threads. No matter what they add, change, remove, or let be, people will complain. Mojang is not going to halt updating or regress the game to earlier versions to satisfy a few veterans who want the so-called “good old days.” It would be a very poor business decision that would anger a sizeable portion of the community and possibly cause the annihilation of Minecraft’s popularity. It should also be known that it is indeed possible to access older versions with the launcher. It’s not quite the same, but as I’ve expressed in Point 1, the magical sparkle of newness in Minecraft is long gone for older players at this point and can never truly be restored. All this being said, the only thing that one will get out of posting a complaint thread is either a handful of concurrents, or just getting on the nerves of users (like yours truly) who grow weary of seeing these threads.

Golly, that was a long post. I hope it was helpful, though.
