I mean, to this day I haven’t played a Minecraft clone that left me satisfied so I doubt Mr. Bored Depressed Billionaire over there will manage to capture lighting in a bottle twice…
(And I doubt he’s using his free time to learn a new programming language either so it’s gonna be Java again god help us all)
To be fair I’m being a dickhead.
I’m sure Minecraft’s slowness has more to do with how it was built/tech debt and such than Java itself, as the mods that massively boost performance show.
You know why villagers cause so much lag if there’s too many and they’re allowed to roam free? Well, rather than optimise their pathfinding logic they just… recalculate their paths every goddamn frame. They also take shortcuts in calculating their paths to reduce this overhead, so their movement is derpy and frequently kills them.
You could make the path then record all the blocks they will interact with, and only recalculate if one of those blocks changes. Boom, millions of operations eliminated, and you’ve got some spare time to make sure the paths will actually work. You could also stagger pathfinding so if a bunch of villagers need a path all at once - like you just blocked a path to where they were all going - you could spread out that load, and prevent lag spikes.
But they don’t do that, so people end up sticking them in tiny boxes on top of carpets so they stop trying to pathfind. Just absurd stuff.
His positions have swung around a lot, and apparently he’s inclined to depression and moods swings? I hope he’s come out of the cult thinking, at least, and making a new game is a sign he’s not in that obsessive mindset anymore. I’m not interested in giving him my money, but it’d be better for everyone if he wasn’t into conspiracies.
Please for the love of god. Someone add proper split screen and controller support for any Minecraft clone.The mods available aren’t good enough for kids.
Did they ever actually specify what they meant with that promise?
I mean, datapacks ARE a modding API. Not the kind we would have liked to see, but if a modding api is all they promised, then they did deliver on that.
It’s called data-driven modding, and not exactly a rare approach among official modding APIs.

We have that. Its the mods on top of Minecraft. Nothing made will ever come close to those.
Notch is a fascist.

Most underrated comment on all of Lemmy.

Real talk what’s wrong with Java? It’s runtime is rock solid at this point and it’s a very mature lang with a great ecosystem.

Fair.
I believe he has been using JS now so all is good 🙏
💀
Fuck Notch
Hard agree, fuck him for his dumb views, also I feel like I’m getting some downvotes because of him 🤣
I feel like I hadn’t heard shit about Notch since Trump’s first term. Is this a bad sign
This. I strongly disagree with his decision to let Microsoft take over the thing that is basically cocaine for kids.
Okay, for me the racist and general far right stuff is the bigger problem with Notch.
I assume he is still transphobic trash.
Didn’t he get all fucked up and miserable from all that money from the sale to MS?
Ten years of early retirement is probably enough time to refuel his interest in creating
That’s why his new game is going to suck, on purpose. 😃
So it’s going to be AAAA
Poor baby
His controversy section on wikipedia is fascinating. Is he still a Q believer?
Yowza
Yeah I was wondering the same when K saw a similar post earlier… Can’t find anything about his current views or beliefs.

That’s good to hear, I think. Not all bad.
I eagerly look forward to not playing it.
Hopefully it will be a banger like the first!
What a Lemmy moment. A positive comment of a person excited about a new game getting a negative vote score.
The site can be fun sometimes. ;p
I don’t know what he’ll do to make Minecraft better, he doesn’t have Zachtronics to steal ideas from this time around; and nobody likes him.

Who’s Notch? I thought Hatsune Miku made Minecraft.
No no you’re wrong, the creator of Mein Kraft was Hitler!! It was created in 1939 and then it caused WWII!!
BanVideoGames NOW!!!
Pretty sure Terraria already exists.
Notch has a track record of announcing things he wouldnt add
I am still waiting for fortress mode to be added to Minecraft, for the planned dlc and for the game to be licensed under an open source license
Api when
Hasnt that been added in bedrock edition?
No idea but it was promised for Java

Don’t forget the story mode he said they’re be adding.
Yes, the DLC we were promised for life for buying it during alpha.
What happened to 0x10^C ya bigoted fuckkkk I liked the concept of that one
