Ah but you left out the other bit of news, about the Super Duper Graphics Update.There's the E3 news for Minecraft.
Dude, you are fluent in many things, but don't venture into software engineering stuff like this. I can make C++ perform like shit, and Java be smooth as silk. C++ is awesome for most things, and my favorite, but you would never have the mods you have if not for Java. In general though, the skill (or lack thereof) has WAY more to do with performance than language until you get equally skilled people at a very high level. THEN the compiled languages take the prize, but not for most things.Really, Java is one of minecraft's great strengths but also its biggest weakness. It makes it work on any platform, but it makes it work like shit on any platform. Imagine the improvements that could be made with executables compiled from actual code, like C# and Assembler. Imagine being able to actually make good use of modern GPUs, instead of hogging all the CPU all the time.
Yes, I meant C++. /headdesk. IT'S MONDAY GIMME A BREAKDude, you are fluent in many things, but don't venture into software engineering stuff like this.

THEN the compiled languages take the prize, but not for most things.
And C# is MUCH closer to Java than C++ in terms of what the language is. Now that they're trying .NET native, it will approach C++ speeds maybe, but both it and Java have been "compiling as they go" to machine language for a while now. Did you typo above and meant C++?
I imagine that for most things. I just know that commercial entities aren't willing to invest the resources to make it run equally well on all platforms, because they're not going to want to build a team large enough to simultaneously optimize it for Windows, macOS, RHEL, Java, XBox, Switch, iOS, Android, Metal, OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, CUDA, PhysX, etc., etc.Really, Java is one of minecraft's great strengths but also its biggest weakness.

There's probably a secret compiler flag for that, --SucksBalls or something.I can make C++ perform like shit
It's "--debug" on some compilers. And then ship that into production.There's probably a secret compiler flag for that, --SucksBalls or something.

Well yeah, but that's the one everyone knows. I meant a secret flag.It's "--debug" on some compilers. And then ship that into production.
Here's the entire video the above GIF was taken from, for those who haven't seen it:Ah but you left out the other bit of news, about the Super Duper Graphics Update.
Assuming you're on the square island south of spawn with the stone wall around it, I left you a couple cows. Hope I didn't ruin the fun of fetching them yourself.I so wanted to kill off someone's cows. I need the leather and there's NO cows where I'm at. I did steal some chick eggs, though.
Weird. Looks "somewhat" the same as yesterday. @Dei I think was doing the "port 7k" achievement, and thus explored a lot. I think. But don't hold me to that.Cranky would just like to say that somebody musta done a hella lotta exploring today. The map has grown three sizes today.

It was actually my husband. I just mooched. I've been digging a big hole. Incidentally, if anyone wants that travel achievement, there's a rail to the far portal.[DOUBLEPOST=1497838297,1497838258][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, there's nether fortress over by it as well.Weird. Looks "somewhat" the same as yesterday. @Dei I think was doing the "port 7k" achievement, and thus explored a lot. I think. But don't hold me to that.
Btw, I fenced and lit the village NW of spawn. There are a few gates if you look for them. If I missed any areas to be lit, feel free to fix it up.
Found the blaze spawner. When you get to the fortress, take two right turns and you'll find stairs down. Follow the torches to the spawner. I got 9 blaze rods and killed 3 wither skeletons (no heads) but ran out of arrows so I got the hell out. And that was an adventure since it was ghast mating season or some shit.
I can only imagine what that would sound like.ghast mating season or some shit.
Like normal ghast sounds, but with rad synth music in the background.I can only imagine what that would sound like.
It makes my spine hurt.

BTW, Shields block blaze shots, so you can make do without a bow as long as you don't get surrounded.Found the blaze spawner.

Cranky says it was there earlier today, but now it's apparently not running.Is the server no longer running?
I rebooted it,and it seems to be working. Let me know if it keeps going down. Send me a pm if its down. I'll probably notice that sooner.Tried again tonight, still can't connect. Map is also still not showing.
