okay the server is converted back to vanilla now with some datapacks added. everything seems to be running well / correctly. I believe I got the nether and end merged back into the world folder properly but am not sure where the nearest nether portal is to test so let me know if there's any issue there.

 

Here's the list of datapacks we have so far:

 

  • Chat:
    • AFK Display (auto marks people AFK in chat when idle for 5 minutes)
       
  • Teleportation: (access these types of commands by typing /trigger then the command)
    • Back (takes you back to location from before last teleport) (must stay still for 3 seconds)
    • Homes (set home warps; currently set to allow up to 5 homes per player) (must stay still for 3 seconds)
    • TPA (request teleport with another player)
    • Spawn (teleport to spawn) (must stay still for 3 seconds)
       
  • Quality of Life:
    • A few datapacks to control mob griefing
    • Auto Utilities (allows right click harvesting and smart tilling with hoes)
    • Durability Ping (alerts player when tool durability below 2%)
    • Fast Leaf Decay
    • gatsilk (pick up spawners with silk touch tools)
    • MultiplayerSleep (allows 1 player to sleep to set morning)
    • Treecapitator
    • XP Harvest (gives chance of XP dropping when harvesting crops) (currently set to default of 5%)
       
  • Misc:
    • Larger Phantoms (makes phantoms grow the longer you don't sleep)
    • More Mob Heads (gives chance for mob heads to drop)
    • Player Heads (player heads will drop when killed by another player)
       
  • Custom Recipes:
    • Craftable Horse Armor

    • Craftable Name Tags

PlanetMinecraft seems to have a bunch of neat datapacks so I don't want to just add a bunch of things at random.

The only random thing I personally picked out was the 'Larger Phantoms' as that just sounded like a neat tweak to the vanilla phantoms.

 

If anyone notices anything on the PlanetMinecraft list they'd like added to try out just let me know. Also let me know if there are any issues with the switch over that I didn't notice.

A goodly list right there. 🙂

 

Are there any data packs that allow you to place a crafting bench next to a chest and access the contents of the chest directly from the crafting bench? I know some of the mod packs have such a feature and it's really really handy. I did have a quick look through but I couldn't find such a data pack.

not that I've seen. I think that's a client side mod though so it might just work if you have it installed on a forge client. (if the mod has been updated for 1.16.1 already that is)

 

surprised they haven't implemented that feature into Vanilla yet though honestly. It's a feature that just makes sense.

I could always just reset it; that'll give us a new dragon too.

Dont think so, ive managed to dig a 3x3x3 area were i spawned but i aint got a clue with direction to get out, lol

 

Manged to get out, eventually but normally the end portal spawn near the dragon, in this case its spawned me in the middle of nowhere with chrous fruit aeverywhere, think i spawned at y level 0, so i think the end needs resetting!

welp if we're resetting the end then I may add a couple datapacks to spice up the world generation in the end; it's always felt a little too plain IMO (and the far off ender towns or whatever aren't exactly easy to find or get to in vanilla)

 

you mind if I add the 'Elder Dragon' datapack too? saw that before while looking through PlanetMinecraft and it sounds like it makes the ender dragon fight more interesting too.

Server is back up, I looked up the reason and its something that is fixed in the 1.16.2 pre release 3 so when 1.16.2 comes out it should stop freaking out over random blocks like todays melon stalk and mossy stone brick :iiam:

It had a mild panic attack when you loaded the first dimension since it restarted but it didn't crash, I jumped in the nether/end and no more logs show up for it so it should be stable. hopefully its this Wednesday that .2 drops to fix this

well at least we know it wasn't the fault of the early paper builds lol

 

but yeah hopefully 1.16.2 finalizes soon as looking through the pre-release notes it sounds like it has a lot of fixes for the bugs 1.16 and 1.16.1 introduced.

well no crash complaints from you guys for the last couple days so I'm hoping we're crash free thanks to 1.16.2 :)

 

I'm currently waiting for the following datapack to get updated for 1.16.2 using its new custom world generation API and then I'll probably reset the end again. The current version wasn't allowing the server to start when I tried before so I'm pretty sure it's only base 1.16 compatible at the moment.

could we install the Wandering Traders - Blocks Only data pack from https://vanillatweaks.net/picker/datapacks/? It would be nice to actually have a use for the wandering traders.

 

Also it might be nice to have the Armour Statues one too.

can do 🙂 those are both simple datapacks. I was considering both of those before but held off for the initial release till we knew things were stable.

Okay, I've added a couple new datapacks. Not the exact ones that you mentioned but similar versions found on planetminecraft

 

 

these versions seem better fleshed out compared to the vanillatweaks versions

 

also updated the treecapitator datapack as the dev released an update for better 1.16.2 support.

Thanks for doing that so quickly. That armour stand editing data pack looks really well done.

 

Re. the wandering trader one, the thing I liked about the vanilla tweaks one is that it added the mini blocks as a trade option, which I thought could be quite nice for decorating, but I'm happy to try out the one you added. Anything to make them more useful and interesting. At the moment I just kill them to get their heads 😉

Did we used to have it set so that Endermen don't pinch blocks? They seem to be spawning a *lot* more than they used to and they're constantly walking off with stuff. A bit annoying.

 

Also, can we have this datapack please?

Also this one...

there's a datapack for endermen griefing on but maybe 1.16.2 broke it; I'll take a look to see if there's an update or another pack for similar

 

I'll take a look at your 2nd datapack request but for your first there's already 'Auto Utilities' installed which allows right click harvesting; I can't remember if you need to be holding a hoe for it to work. I'll also check for updates on that one too in case it broke with the 1.16.2 update.

Thanks. I've tried all sorts for the auto harvesting, and I can't get it to work. The pack is installed because /trigger Autocrops displays a message, but it doesn't do anything with my diamond hoe.

yeah 1.16.2 must have broken it. Changes in it seem to have broken a few older hooks/triggers it sounds like causing some datapacks to have had to release 1.16.2 specific compatibility updates.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52

      By Copernic · Posted

      Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant. Policy Updates / New policies CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled - Enable Copilot address bar suggestions CpuPerformanceTierOverride - Override for the CPU performance tier DataUrlInWebWorkerOpaqueOriginEnabled - Enable opaque origins for data URLs in Web Workers DefaultLocalFontsSetting - Default Local Fonts permission setting ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - Force foreground priority for specific URLs LocalFontsAllowedForUrls - Allow Local Fonts permission on these sites LocalFontsBlockedForUrls - Block Local Fonts permission on these sites Deprecated policies WalletDonationEnabled - Wallet Donation Enabled (deprecated) EdgeWalletEtreeEnabled - Edge Wallet E-Tree Enabled (deprecated) Additional policy changes ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - ForceForegroundPriorityForOrigins is renamed to ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls OnSecurityEventEnterpriseConnector - Add macOS platform support ProtectedContentIdentifiersAllowed - Remove macOS platform support Download: Microsoft Edge (64-bit) | 193.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Microsoft Edge (32-bit) | 170.0 MB Download: Microsoft Edge (ARM64) | 188.0 MB View: Microsoft Edge Website | Release History Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
