It is probably people digging around. I had it in my first base. When the server got a bit more popular and more people came on, i found tonnes of tunnels crossing over mine and my obsidian farm being hammered.

That is why mine is well out the way now, so i hopefully won't have to worry about people digging underneath me.

I don't really feel like posting a tutorial, but that's all the files you need to get shaders working in 1.5.1

(Bump mapping not yet compatible on 1.5.1)

Also, someone really needs to trim those vines on the iron farms.

why does it look so good with you

EVERY shader ive tried looks incredibly bright and horrible.

I even tried this one, when i hold a diamond tool is basically just a white pick shape. its so so bright.

The brightness settings dont have any effect either.

If it werent for the few minor annoyances that spoil the whole thing id love these shaders

Need help. Accidentally royally f'd up Sagum's tower in survival. Happened just now 3:10pmish 4/25/2013

Can those blocks be reverted? You will see a large amount of blocks being blown up by TNT and one shot across a large area and puncture the tower sending water everywhere. Trying to fix but this thing is massive and I am sure I messed up intricate redstone placement. please help!

Sagum,. sorry man! Was trying to break up some more rock.

Based off what I read on other forums I would ask if you are using the newest drivers.

Also, there seems to be a chest/sign/frame transparency bug on my end with that shader pack.

1.5.1 is still a work in progress as well.

I remember having the exact issue you're describing on previous versions.

Louisifer to the rescue,. all is well.. thanks!

Didn't know tnt was useable in survival?

Completely Redesigned my base over the weekend. Removed the Tauroid i had in the center of my small fenced in area and created a sort of temple design. It is the new entrance to my base. removed the small house i had used previously for my entrance. I have also expanded the main areas of my base and moved my storage room from just 12 chests to 30 (all contained inside a Obsidian walled room. Lots and lots of changes this weekend.

Griefin rampant again. Some roads are messed up, (in front of my place) also someone stealing crops, cows, chickens. I am about to do what Little Neutrino is doing because it's getting annoying. If a mod can do me a favor, and check who is disturbing the block under the anti griefin sign I have in my yard. I would love to know who keeps pluckin those carrots;)

I think I know who's doing it - your new neighbour has a habit of breaking blocks to get into buildings. I told him to knock it off in-game, apparently that didn't help.

Will have a look when I get home later.

Suggestion: When you can, have an eye on new players you don't fully trust yet. If you catch any of them griefing, report them via PM to Laura, Timan or me. Or in-game if any of us happens to be on.

More radical suggestion: A complete map reset once 1.6 comes out. Yay/nay?

Once 1.6 is released i would be completely alright with a reset, it would help with finding new stuff, not to mention those of us who build close to the spawn before, do not have emeralds in our mines.

Does a complete reset mean we lose all our builds? IForgive my dumb question. If not, what is the downside?

Kyang! Long time man.

Yes, a complete reset means the server starts over from scratch.

A yay from me as long as we get (or build) a proper N/E/S/W spawn! The current one is terrible for directions and pretty small :p

We could either copy the creative spawn or have some of the most creative builders come up with a new one for a new map before it goes live.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
    • It is notable that around 70% of web browser users choose Google Chrome. However, it is puzzling why anyone on Windows would opt for Chrome when Microsoft Edge is often superior in many aspects and comes pre-installed. Edge collects less data, uses less RAM, and is more optimized for Windows as a native Microsoft product. While some may point to bloat in Edge, much of it can be removed with simple tools, requiring no more effort than installing Chrome. Meanwhile, Chrome reportedly downloads large amounts of AI data (4 GB) without explicit consent. I'm sure you Chrome users love that, or? Although Microsoft’s aggressive promotion of Edge may be questionable, the browser’s current advantages make it a preferable choice over Chrome today, even if Chrome may have been better in the past.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
