I once met a person that never drank water, only soft drinks. It’s not the unhealthiness of this that disturbed me, but the fact they did it without the requisite paperwork.

Unlike those disorganised people I have a formal waiver. I primarily drink steam and crushed glaciers.

    Its not server-side modding (Minecraft has obviously had that for ages), its a full LUA interpreter with an in-game interface for clients to write scripts, and upload them to the server on the fly.

    Nope. It’s server side modding. The clients don’t get to execute arbitrary lua on the server (unless they are hosting or opped) and only someone with access to the server filesystem can upload scripts.

(Serverside Minecraft mod) Wizards of Lua 6.0.0 release

This lets you mod things server-side only (ie clients don’t need to install mods). And do so without having to compile or do much other than have a text editor. There are some limits (eg you can’t introduce new textures or models) but it’s still a lot of fun.

Mischief I’ve been up to with it:

  • Make cows and horses shearable (drops leather, reverts them to baby form temporarily) by intercepting PlayerUseEntityEvent
  • Disable fall damage near a particular mysterious tall tower and play a splash noise instead, by intercepting BeforeLivingEntityDamageEvent
  • Add mysterious sometimes-teleporters to two sets of identical ruins (one near spawn). My friends hated this, the rules to get it to work were too arbitrary. I felt like a 90’s adventure game developer.
  • Add an /easydifficulty command (sets a player’s max health higher), because some people on the server just wanted to farm, build and chill.
  • A deathchest mod, where the inventory is stored in an invisible minecraft:interaction entity stretched over a sign with a head on top. The advantage of this over chests is that all the items can be restored to their original inventory slots (including cursed armor xD) as I can store arbitrary data.
  • Add a /crush <player> command, which informs the target that you have a crush on them and gives them a free rose.

      I don’t think shots were intended to be fired at the Mozilla corporation, who can’t stop talking about their default, opt-out AI, but it paints a stark picture of the difference between a company that preaches privacy and choice, versus a company that actually provides those things.

      I think they’re also taking shots on telemetry. Firefox uses telemetry as evidence to support their decisions in ways that sometimes seem contrived or statistically incorrect (similar to only x% of people turned this default feature off, therefore it is good), making me feel as a user that contributing my telemetry to them is actually a bad thing that is encouraging their behaviour. Meanwhile TDF makes great software that follows what the community wants and needs without any telemetry collection.
