The mods for Minecraft are not optimized well because they aren't given access to the source code, only a few hooks they've salvaged. That's the reason they have such terrible performance, it's not exactly because of their technical prowess. Java Minecraft, and mods in general (despite what people say) run poorly because they're optimized poorly.

Minecraft code is run through an obfuscator, but if I'm not mistaken there are tools that modders have been using to decompile and de-obfuscate the code in order to modify the code directly and load mods. I believe there was a time when the Minecraft devs were actually working with modders to make the process easier. I specifically remember that being a big point of discussion at a minecon or something. I think the Java version is poorly optimized because, according to the devs who took over after Notch, it was all "spaghetti code", and they were working hard at optimizing it. That led to the update 1.5(or 1.15?) which had a massive performance improvement over all previous versions. I wouldn't argue that the game isn't poorly optimized, but I would argue that the java version runs perfectly fine these days. I don't think there is a C# version of the game, Bedrock is written in C++.

Actually he already auditioned for the role and was turned down for some reason.

Add lategame dimensions already. Expand the lategame. Devs hate expanding the endgame!

Didn't they kind of do that though? The nether and the end were considered late/end game and both areas received huge updates. The end has end cities, which are the only place to find the flying wings and the stuff to make shulker boxes, and you can find enchanted diamond gear and stuff there too. The nether has a bunch of new structures, biomes, and mobs, and the new ore that's super rare and better than diamond. They also added woodland mansions which are endgame I believe, though I have never found one in any of my worlds. And they massively improved cave systems making them larger and more dangerous to explore. With the nether and the end they have a "sky" dimension and a "hell" dimension outside the overworld dimension. What other dimensions should they add?

The requirement was waved when Microsoft got backlash.

They initially said that TPM 2.0 was required to install Windows, and then they said TPM 1.2 will work as well but won't be officially supported. That might be what you're thinking of.

Can you disable the tabs? They look like shit.

Would be pretty weird if it forced you to use tabs instead of multiple windows, but tabs should be more convenient I would think. It's still a hidden feature in version 22H2 though, you have to use a 3rd party tool to enable it.

I'm just comparing Terraria and Minecraft updates in general

Not a fair comparison.

https://minecraft-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Updates

Look at the major updates since the 1.5 Restone update, they've all been themed and feature many new additions and changes. You're thinking of Minecraft 2011 when adding a new mob was considered a major update.

how were you even on w11 with a disabled tpm

I think Rufus has an option to remove that requirement. I don't remember selecting it, it might be on by default.

Turns out 22H2 wasn't coming up because TPM was disabled in my mobo settings. I enabled it, but Windows Update still says "up to date" when I click "check for updates". I guess maybe it will show up now at some point in the future...

Do you have preview builds enabled? Or did you update manually via ISO? It's just not showing up for me in Windows Updates.

Yes, it's out. I updated to 22H2 this Thursday.

I just downloaded the latest cumulative update and it still says I'm on 21H2.

Is 22H2 actually out yet or is it only for preview still? Been hearing about this update since I installed W11 and it's never actually been available.

Every person I know that voted for Biden, is voting republican across the board.

This is either true or it's Ozmose blowing hot air out his ass like usual. I know which one I'm betting on.

I don't think defragging is necessary on modern computers. I mean SSDs don't need it and Windows defrags automatically mechanical HDDs.

Developed by Bloober Team? Interesting. I haven't played the original but I've seen some playthroughs of it. When it comes to PC I might just get it.

I've seen a lot of movies from Asian countries, and maybe one or two actual animes. Not a big fan and I kind of prefer Western animation anyway.

Would be amazing if that sack of shit ended up broke and destitute. Sorry but if you've made a career off telling dangerous lies to a mob of lunatics in order to fill your own pockets then you can shove your free speech right up your ass.

You said something incorrect and people corrected you.

Now that I have a better computer I've just been modding Skyrim and occasionally playing it.

Nah. My mom is religious, my dad isn't. I went to church when I was a kid and to a Christian school for a few years, but by the time I was like 10 I didn't believe any of it.

Atheism is a religion.

Funny thing is only religionists ever say this, and they say it as if it's a criticism, like religion is a bad thing to them. As a matter of fact atheism isn't a religion in any sense of the word. Even the extremely broad and useless definition you provided wouldn't describe the vast majority of atheists past and present. And for the record most atheists are negative atheists, they're not asserting that there is no god or trying to rationally prove it.

Nothing that I can remember but I think the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead came close.

How do you have 6 of them? Whenever I play it I just download the launcher and play the java version. I didn't even know there were more than 2 versions on PC and AFAIK the only reason to play Bedrock is for RTX.

This band fully embraced the Halloween gimmick on this album

Not strictly about Halloween, but horror themed like most of their music

OK Computer is their best album imo, followed by The Bends. Amnesiac is good too, but after that they start sounding samey to me.
