Here's a dumb question - how is it that they're running out?

Yeah, I get it, wasted block IDs, but why is there a limit in the first place? Such a limit seems so arbitrary and unnecessary, but shedding some light on why it exists would make me feel differently.

Optifine is outright required for a lot of shaders nowadays, because it offers features that the original shaders mod just doesn't include, namely things like deferred programs, the #include preprocessor, new uniforms, temporal buffers, etc.

First of all.I'm very grateful to you.Thank you for making the Shaders Mod. It's a great Mod

But most of the Mod versions of MC remain at 1.7.10,such as optifine,fastcraft and so on.Except FORGE still stays at 1614 version,but that's no big deal.

I hope you can continue to update the version of Shaders Mod in MC1.7.10

Because the current version of Shaders Mod in MC1.7.10 is no longer compatible with the most basic MOD:OPTIFINE and fastcraft

I believe there are still a lot of players still playing MC1.7.10.Shaders Mod is a crucial and indispensable MOD for me (for everyone)

THANK YOU!

I also see another problem. The addition of dynamic lights, if bad implemented, could do to any shader mod non-compatible and impossible to apply to the game, that is a big and important problem.

I prefer have dynamic lights still being a client illusion easy to activate or deactivate, and not forced nor obligatory in the game.

It'd depend on how it was implemented. Optifine pretty much injects its own dynamic light directly into the light map when a block face is being rendered, which means it automatically, without any work on our, the shader dev's side, just works. My shader pack hasn't had dynamic lighting ever, but if I enable Optifine's, it just works. Optifine's solution is incredibly elegant from the shader dev side of the fence.

All that'd need to happen is dynamic lighting simply gets injected into the light map prior to rendering. If that happens, nothing needs to change with shaders.

Seconded. If it's dead, I know of a few people who will probably be interested in continuing it.

I know this mod is looking kinda dead, but crashes need to be reported nonetheless.

-Disregard that, crash was because of an invalid wand type on my hotbar-

If you're not going to be continuing work on it, could you potentially consider putting the source up on git? That way, it won't fully die as a WIP mod.

Here are a few things I could see in Minecraft 2:

• Being built in Unity and released on Steam with Workshop compatibility, making modding easier and more integrated Why Unity? Why a easy-to-use but fairly bad (unless you rewrite parts of it, especially the renderer) engine? Why not a custom engine that Mojang writes, or at least another engine which is better than Unity?
• Making lighting aesthetic, improving performance and allowing it to look better. Mob spawning would be moved to another method that didn't depend on light. This would also make sunlight aesthetic, and since it would have no effect on gameplay, it would remove the main hurdle to cubic chunks First, what do you mean by "aesthetic"? Do you mean doing light on the GPU instead using standard lighting techniques like shadow mapping? Second, this wouldn't improve performance if you do mean moving to lighting being done on the GPU and using shadow maps. This would heavily gate the game and require everyone to have somewhat decent GPUs. Especially if things like torches are turned into shadow-casting lights; it'd kill even a high-end rig to have the amount of torches that you usually see in builds be shadow-casting lights. And you kind of need them to be, else a torch on one side of a wall would light up the other side. Third, what's wrong with the current lighting system? It could use with an upgrade and a rewrite, but overall it's still good. It still allows for hundreds of light sources to be rendered cheaply, granted without proper shadowing, but still. Fourth, what about mob spawning during the night? Crops requiring light to grow? Daylight sensors? In a deferred renderer you cannot ask "what is the light intensity here" because lighting is calculated right at the end of the rendering operation (hence the name being deferred), and I'm pretty sure Unity uses a deferred renderer for high-quality lighting (it supports forward, but unless Mojang were to write a way to "weld" all blocks in a chunk into a single object whenever the chunk updates or whatever, forward rendering would have to compute lighting for dozens of blocks, adding up quite a bit.
• Cubic chunks, obviously
• More structures that are more worthwhile to explore, including unique loot
• A more complex crafting system that makes you feel more accomplished and adds more customization, akin to Tinker's Construct First, you're asking to remove one of the most iconic features from the game, and you're calling it Minecraft 2? What is wrong with you?! I kid, but my point still stands. Second, the existing crafting system is complex in itself, since the recipes are complex but make sense.
• Loads more decoration items and blocks
• Paint You mean being able to paint blocks different colours? It can be added to the game right now, no need for a sequel.
• A much more interesting underground, where the depths to which you can go are somewhat limited to the overall progression (you can go deeper if you want, but it gets harder and harder the deeper you get). Loot and ores get better the deeper you are
• More tiers, but not just generic "You need me just so that you can get the next best tier." Each tier would have its own unique ability
• An upgrade system, so you can make lower tiers competent late game First, enchantments kind of do this. Unbreaking and Efficiency can turn a stone pick into a speedy gonzales stone pick. Cannot upgrade the mining level, but you can upgrade the durability and speed. Second, I don't like this. If I can just upgrade a stone pick to be equal to a diamond pick, why should I bother about getting a diamond pick? You could say the diamond pick can be used to mine something required to upgrade tools, but a that goes against your above point of "you need me to get the next tier", and b that's wasteful of a genuinely better tool. If you were to add an upgrades system (not that I'm for it), it should not just be able to turn one tier into another. It should turn one tier into 50% of another. An upgraded stone pick 50% of the difference between itself and an iron pick in terms of speed added onto the speed.
• An improved combat system, with more customizability in how you fight, as well as a higher variety of weapon types (it doesn't need to go overboard like Terraria (overpowered yo-yos?! really?!) but certainly the game would benefit from having more than "one weapon fits all") Ever since 1.9, one weapon doesn't fit all, though. Swords are the superior weapon, but they're not the best for every scenario. Going up against someone with a shield? Take an axe to get some damage through the shield. Got a lot of people with swords? Take a bow.
• And so much more!

I can go into more detail, if you want, as I've been thinking about this for a while, but if I do, I might as well make my own suggestions. Anyway, most if not all of these are things that wouldn't fit into the simplicity of current Minecraft, but would be perfectly fine in a sequel.

You know, there are some people in the world who are smart and others that are not so smart. I speak for everyone who falls in the same category as me when I say that.... Why is there not a program that can do the coding of java for you when it comes to making mods? I mean I use mcreator when I want to make mods because I for one can't understand what the heck all the coding phrases(or whatever you call them) even mean! My dream has always been to be a video game designer and of course it takes a lot of coding knowledge to even do that! I have went to college for a year on developing that skill, but I dropped out the next year because after all that time of learning how to code, I understood absolutely none of it! Have to ask, which specific course did you take? A beginners course, or a more advanced course? Beginners courses go through all the concepts needed to program at all, where advanced courses skip over them because it's assumed that you know it all, otherwise why would you be there. I've been told to learn java, but how can I when I dropped out from college cause I understood nothing about coding? To actually answer your question, which I'm sure was rhetorical, there's hundreds of both textual and video tutorials online, as well as online courses that teach you Java. From absolute basics like simply installing the JDK (part of Java which takes your written source code and turns it into an actual program that can be ran), to advanced things like writing your own game.

If I could, I would make a program for all the people who have a hard time understanding Java or coding period, that would do it for them and does it the the way that mojang coded minecraft! Who here thinks that there should be such a program?

Done right, most people won't need any mods, or just a few.

So I make my own mcpe mod, and try to sell it on amazon, because its use some of minecraft art asset, amazon ask me to provide "confirmation letter from the intellectual property rights holder with a formal signature or a copy of the applicable license agreement.".

I have tried to send them the EULA and explain that It is allowed based on minecraft commercial terms, but it seems they still ask for "confirmation letter from the intellectual property rights holder with a formal signature or a copy of the applicable license agreement."

any idea to solved this issue ..?

Thanks for the help

That processor is vastly overkill to achieving 120 FPS and shouldn't be recommended on any occasion for any current title.

Minecraft was due for a cooldown. Think about it:

-People who had an autoclicker would dominate. Now that's changed, is it not?

-Before, only the sword was viable for attacking. Now, we have a wider range of weapons that are viable. Want to deal a lot of damage? The axe is your friend, but it has a pretty long cooldown to balance it out. You want to deal slightly less damage, but attack slightly faster and deal sweep damage? Go for the sword. You want to attack even faster than the sword, but deal less damage? Enchant a hoe with sharpness.

-Before, if you had a strength potion you'd double your damage output, and if you had Strength 2 then you'd triple. So you could use a diamond sword with sharpness 3, and you know how much damage you would deal? 36.75. Enough to kill somebody in one hit, even with a quarter of their armor bar filled. Now you'll deal 15 damage, which is much more reasonable and *cough* less overpowered *cough*

-Before, ranged people had a severe disadvantage. Now we have tipped arrows, letting us poison our victims or turn our allies invisible. To counteract this, we have shields which can (as of 16w36a) block 100% of damage and prevent potion effects from arrows. To prevent that from happening, we can now use axes to temporarily disable shields.

-Before, if you had full Protection 4 diamond armor you'd be pretty much invincible. Now that's not the case, so we now have to plan our attacks instead of just rushing in.

-Also the Elytra. It may not provide any protectional value, but you can use it to fly. And unless whoever's fighting you also has an Elytra, then they'll have to fight you with a bow, and you can just dodge the arrows.

Some people may not like the new 1.9 Cooldowns, but I feel they were needed for balance. If we removed them now then we'd have to remove all the combat changes just to fix a problem that was never meant to be fixed. With all this evidence against you, how can you change the non-supporters' minds? Some of us critics like the new 1.9 changes. It completely changed the pace of combat, making it about strategy rather than brute force. It's perfectly balanced, and it's easy to learn with the cooldown timer.

No support.

People like to do this a lot. "Game A looks better than Game B, but Game A runs better"

Graphic quality does not necessarily equal the game's performance. There are many other factors that culminate to how a game will perform, such as the engine, the skill of the developers, and individual hardware.

Minecraft clearly wasn't built in mind with these shaders, therefore you can't just slap these kind of visual effects on a game like Minecraft and expect it to run like Half Life 2 (which is nearly 12 years old and used a lot of baked lighting rather than dynamic lighting). Half Life 2 is just a poor example in general. That game handles lighting and shadows completely different than SEUS does.

I'm guilty of asking for some kind of miracle answer on how to get these shaders to run better as well, and what we need to realize is that there's already a lot of technical work being done underneath that makes these shaders run better than they really have any reason to for a project being worked on by a couple people at most for no direct monetary gain.

The format for internet explorer 9 is so screwed up. I use firefox.
And I cannot use ie 10 or 11.
Not only do they stop supporting their own products, but they make sure they screw them up to try to get you to buy the new one.
compatibility mode is not something with a real use anyways. I can install diablo 2 and it will run alright without "compatibility mode"
Also things for windows 10 does not work for 8 7 or vista. so, I have to disagree with you.

The leading factor of any windows os is that you can allocate memory from the hard drive to the ram.

and you can do the same thing with a usb stick. That, and (used to) how short of an amount of time it was to explore your files.Then security features came.

If you can't play because of whatever issues you have about a specific developer/s, your mindset is wrong.

There's two options here. Either forgive/forget about whatever the devs did to get on your bad side or play different games.

If you have to ask the community for reasons to play, you're time with Minecraft is probably over.

You can also make a new profile - with a new game directory - and be able to play as many modded/vanilla profiles as you want without having to swap files every time you wanted to play a different one (and save a lot of heartache when your world becomes corrupted after you load it in the wrong version; the game can only see worlds saved to its profile). I even recommend doing this if you play multiple vanilla versions since while the latest versions track the version a world was played in this did not become implemented until 1.9 and it is still easy to accidentally load the world with them (there is no way to easily revert a world that has been loaded in a newer version without backups or map editors; loading it in an older version will almost certainly corrupt it).

It is as easy as changing the game directory path to anything (for example, add 1.8.9_mods to the end so it is .minecraft\1.8.9_mods), then running the game once so all the folders are created, then move your mods and saves over to it.
