    I thought those looked familiar :D

    There's now an industrial port, with containers and shit! The cranes' design and a few containers' design was shamelessly stolen collectivised from @Evie[+]'s design on the Leszczyล„ski platform.

    I thought those looked familiar :D

    So I can't speak for everyone else's experience, but in my case I use Prism launcher and the process was as simple as editing the instance to update the version. I had to update first the Minecraft version to 26.1.2, and then the fabric loader version to the latest compatible with 26.1.2. Then I went to my mods page and clicked update to get all of the mods updated to 26.1.2 versions. Then I ran the instance to see if anything broke. In my case I had to downgrade my version of sodium, but prism's error message was pretty self explanatory and I was up and running in less than 5 min. If you are using vanilla or don't have mods, the process should be even simpler.

    Really the best way to spot AI writing is to read enough of it that your language center learns to spot the patterns intuitively. Which in my experience happens pretty quickly, brains are amazing at pattern matching.

    I feel like I'm definitely there when it comes to AI video and audio. Even if it's really convincing and I can't put my finger on exactly what's "off", I can still identify it as AI. But for some reason I feel this really intense fog around the written word. It's like my AI spider sense just doesn't work there. There have been quite a few instances where people have identified something as "really obvious AI" in comments and I had absolutely no idea.

    I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I'm one of those people that has trouble spotting AI writing. Does anyone here have any guides they can share that would help me get better at spotting the tells?

    If only there was a lightweight plugin that would allow us to enjoy these comfy seats.

    @teaearlgraycold, pretty please?

    Edit: Apologies if you happen to have a sitting spot at your base that I didn't feature. Feel free to drop a comment with pictures and/or location! Perhaps I should create a catalog of all the places I find. ๐Ÿค”

    Edit: It's a bit of a bummer to be sure, but I also kind of like that I have an incentive to "fill out my map" by flying around. I have found quite a few interesting things on my surveying trips. :)

    That's even more baffling to me then. I prefer consuming peanuts and peanut butter to be separate activities.

    It looks like one just got developed recently. I have not tried this so have no idea how it performs.

    Edit: There is also this one, which some people on the voxy github have suggested is working (though there is some discussion about AI generation so maybe proceed with caution)

    Second edit: It's also been suggested that the plugin I linked in my edit streams full chunk data instead of LoD data, which may be very taxing for our server. I'm re-reading the text description of the first one I linked and it also mentions streaming chunk data. I think some testing is required before we jump to adding any of these.

    I like the more natural peanut butter, but more important to me is what I pair it with. No plain old grape jelly for me. I like a good preserve, particularly blackberry.

    New thread, new update post!

    I found a page that lists all the shaders that are currently compatible with Voxy, and tinkered with them a bit. I decided to switch from BSL to Photon at least until Complementary updates with Voxy support (should be later this month according to the devs). Here are some screenshots I took with the new shaders:

    This week I decided to expand the infrastructure of the City of Pitch. I built a series of tunnels under the city and gave them some atmosphere (image). Then I built a generator room and used some mob heads and redstone to give it some life. Apparently Elder Guardian heads on a fast clock make pretty good machine droning noises.

    Just today, I also built an autojukebox to play some jazzy tunes in town square. We didn't have the disc I needed in storage, so I built a farm.

    Oh, and I also made some greeter robots for my starter base portal. :)

    Sweet! @PunchTunnel, I duped some dragon heads and put them in the mob head box in community storage. That should get you started. :) Edit: Link to the recipes from the previous thread

    I added a music disc farm at the south end of the industrial district. It's not terribly efficient due to some dark spots in the caves under the area, but I was able to get at least one of every disc and stock up the barrel in town square.

    @IsildursBane I tried running a few through storage, but all of them went to overflow except the type you took earlier. So I took them back to the chest at the farm and left the non-creeper-farmable extras in overflow.

    If I'm reading the wiki correctly, the latest release was 26.2 snapshot 5. I've updated the pack to that version. You can find the latest zip here.

    Side note: There was nothing material changed with crafting syntax between versions, so this newest zip should load just fine in the current version of the server as well.
