Yes, that is correct. The initial authentication does requires login, although updates do not. I always play offline.

Actually you do not need to be logged in for the pre-release download.

Looks like it is for 1.20; @traugdor, are you speaking of 1.21-pre2 as the most recent version?

That is the kind of magic that I would feel comfortable with as well. @Arcane Gunslinger To me, religion is a very personal thing that involves acts of worship; it involves relationships. I think we are describing the same depth of intimacy and the same phenomenon, especially with your inclusion of this phrase (emphasis mine) "and intertwined with the world’s logic and entities." In Echo Weaver's example of a more immersive type of magic, she is using language that I perceive as a recipe of sorts, or what @Enjen called "A system akin to science." I do not sense anything of worship being involved in either of those descriptions. I hope that makes sense, @Arcane Gunslinger. Of course those are just my thoughts/feelings. It will be interesting to see where the devs go with this new Adventure Mode.

With all due respect for something that you're obviously passionate about, @Arcane Gunslinger, I'm not a fan of having a heavily religious theme as part of the base game. This is where modding could provide a means of opting-in to the religious aspects of magic being full of "reverence", 'ritualism', "blood rites", "spirit pacts", and "rites, symbols, offerings." Alternatively, for those that feel as I do, the game should be marketed clearly so that an informed purchase can be made.

I'm sorely tempted to post an "Are we there yet?" in the announcement thread but I'm not sure that my humor would be appreciated. eta: Oops, dang it! I meant to 1.21! sigh

Up until very recently, they've been revealing the VS story through bits and pieces of written lore and artwork found in dungeons. Of course now I see with the addition of the first boss that the story is also being revealed through quests. I'm just grateful that the story line is open enough that it doesn't need to affect gameplay at all. I hope this will be true for the new mode as well.

HA! That angle hadn't occurred to me at all. Interesting.

You've gotten some great tips. 1. When gathering cattails for your baskets, be sure to cut them with a knife; breaking them with your hands will destroy the root that allows them to regrow. 2. When gathering copper bits off of the ground, be aware that they indicate the presence of a shallow deposit underground so be sure to mark the spot so that you can come back later with a pickaxe.

That's a shame; I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the subject.

I enjoy finding decorator items (paintings, unusual blocks, wallpaper, doors), clothing, pretty containers, jewelry and the odd metal tool. I once found a silver knife which I thought was pretty cool. Now I play with Better Ruins and am satisfied with the loot. They even have blueprints that allow creation of loot items or vanilla items at a reduced cost. I'm all about the loot!

I watch quite a few Let's Plays and can assure you that it is very common for new players to be standing right on top of clay without realizing it. Just last week I was watching a group that was hurting from a lack of clay, went out on a (long) journey to find it, only to return home and see that their base was built at the edge of a field of clay. Having said that, I don't recall having found clay in a forest biome before... although that could partly be because I tend to avoid them. (eta: I don't linger in forest biomes because of the potential for bears and wolves)

A long time ago, iirc, there was an issue with music if you updated via a patch rather than a full installation - I could be misremembering the cause of the problem. In any case, it might be worth poking around VS Issues, both open and closed, to see if any of the past reports contain a solution to your situation?

Can confirm: I've gotten temporal gears from normal panning (sand and/or gravel, don't recall atm). I like the proposed idea, speaking as someone that is completely inept at fighting.

Wow! I only recently loaded 1.20 and haven't encountered this yet. Thank you so much for linking it!

Yes, that is my take as well. I'm certain that the quote you saw was not a full one, as it wouldn't be appropriate to include the offensive part. I've been here since v1.5 and participated in discord for several years, before there were so many players. Tyron really strikes me as a thoughtful person and he seems to have a lot of tolerance and patience (imo, based on what I've seen).

The key to it being unacceptable is what Echo Weaver described as, "The user in question described Tyron and people with positive opinions of him with rude profanity." Emphasis mine. A fairly stated opinion does not include slurs against other people; it especially does not break the forum rules by including profanity. Rudeness and profanity can get a person banned, depending on the circumstances or how far the commenter takes it. I didn't happen to see the comment, but I trust that @Echo Weaver has given an accurate representation. For the mods to act so swiftly, and for Tyron to explicitly state that it was the language, shows that the commenter exceeded the bounds of propriety.

Yes, but in SP. It happens when you've been flying in creative mode and did not use F3 to turn off flying, even if you've switched back into survival mode. It has been reported and is a known issue. (eta: and for me, SP server, restarting the game worked) I do not know what it could be as you've described though.

For inspiration, you may enjoy looking at some of the tours Ashantin has done in her "Best Builds" series: link to playlist. Or one of Kurazarrh's world tours where he shows off his completed builds (this one of his 'Hobbit house' - the ship in a bottle at the 18:40 mark is something else!). One nice thing about his tour is that you'll see a number pop up on the screen as he is showing off different things; the number represents the video in which the work occurred, so you can go back and see how he did it.

@THE BRICKSTER In case you might be interested... This gorgeous build is an example of using glass slabs to fulfill the greenhouse roof requirement while allowing a more decorative finish on top. But there is also a link in one of the comments to the OP's imgr acct which has several pictures, one being the positioning of the slab as seen from inside of the greenhouse (and another pic proving that this exquisite design fulfills the room requirements despite the chiseling).

Oh! Haha.. too gullible by far.

This topic made me curious because I don't remember anything and hadn't heard of the Mandela effect. I found interviews/tributes from several US politicians following his death in 2013, but this one with Bill Clinton mentions Mandela's time in prison in the context of other events. tl;dr Mandela did not die in prison.

Wow, @Foe Hammer, that populated build idea is amazing! You've got me hyped as well! I normally stop playing due to my single player world being so empty; this would make a huge difference.

I think it is in the addition to his original post, where he addresses the questions and issues that have been brought up.
