bendvis Link ParentI kind of like the idea of just putting mats in chests/shulkers in your house. That way, anyone coming back to the server would have a bit of a post-apocalyptic experience scavenging :)I kind of like the idea of just putting mats in chests/shulkers in your house.

I was admitted for 5 days while medications brought down my blood pressure so a biopsy could safely be taken. Every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day, the blood pressure cuff would measure me and then HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE RED ALERT DEFCON 1 alarm would go off. Sleep was hard to come by...

A couple of memorable highlights from my perspective:
When the server found its first diamonds, and then the cave was swarmed with diamond hunters
Dong Island™️
Bauke's insane iron farm and froglight farm
FluffyKittens' crazy overkill storage depot
John ending up on the naughty list
The colossus vs aliens battle (is it really going to end in a stalemate? 😲)
Gravysleeve's nature preserve islandHad a ton of fun, thanks for setting this up and running admin Tea!
Next up: heavily modded survival run? -

Let's also say that Google is expecting to improve their ads enough through this program to increase their prices by just 1%. Their revenue increase for this year would be about $2.37 billion (based on last year's ad revenue of $237 billion) from that price hike. That's a billion dollar investment that sees return within the year.

I've tried a handful of launchers in the past but never found enough value in them because I don't mind managing my own mods manually. Fabric can place an installation there and load mods and such as usual.

Started with 12, ended up with 14 villagers?

I spent an hour or so figuring out how to update the mod and its dependencies (got it building ok, but failed at runtime) and then realized I never actually tried it as it's distributed. It lists itself as compatible with 1.20.1, but works fine when loaded up in 1.20.4. Yay for backward compatibility

This may be the first time it's affected a Tesla, but definitely not the first time for cars in general. Audis, Fords, Kias, and Toyotas have all had unexpected acceleration due to hardware or software issues.
