SPITSPHIRE

I just updated to version 1.21.1 as i kept running into question mark blocks around my world and had hopped that the update would fix it, but now on updateing i keep being attacked by mobs even though i have the creature hostility disabled. Bowtorns especially dont seam to give a crap about the setting and light me up anytime they see me.

Im trying to get a better understanding of how multiplayer works in this game. Do you require owning/renting a server in order to play online with 1-2 friends, or can you host the game locally from your own pc? Also if you started a world in single player is there a way of opening it up so a friend can join?

Cool, ill definitely give that a try latter then once ive set myself a bit better in terms of gear. Thanks for the help.

why would i need to manually place the story content, wouldn't it get added to the world same as the ruins? i've only explored/generated around 1000 blocks square of my world so far, with it being 8mil blocks square, so there should be plenty of space for it to add the story content.

Im wondering how compatible the game is with post new world generation game settings changes. Specifically im wondering if it is possible to enable lore content and monster spawns after having already started the world with them off. Id started a new world in homo sapiens mode with most everything lore or hostile mob related disabled as i wanted to get a feal for the game, but now im kinda wanting to ramp up the difficulty and dip my toes into the story a bit, so im wondering if its possible to enable this content after the fact. Can i just use server commands to enable it, and if so how does it work? Does it add the lore content to world chunks that are already loaded and just overwrite the terrain/world gen, or does it only add the content to new chunks when you enter them? Or is this a case of once you start a world with the lore content off, trying to enable it after the fact will just break things? On game version 1.20.12 if that matters

Im not seeing the option to customise a already generated world. just the options to copy settings to the clipboard and to delete the world.

no, i haven't dabbled with any mods yet, its just a straight vanilla game install that i started a new world on. Also it wasn't a locust that attacked me, it was a 4 legged creature around the size of a human/npc. its possible it spawned from a nearby cave, but given i was on the homo sapiens mode there shouldn't have been any monster spawns at all.

That's weird because ive checked multiple times and the game is saying my world is using the homo sapiens preset. Is there a bug with the world generation or something? How do i make it so the game will definitively give me a non horror experience, cause if i have to deal with those creature every time i play it will be a big nope from me.

the creature that attacked me wasn't an animal, it was some sort of monster creature. Ive tried to figure out what it was by looking at the wiki but im not really sure what it was, the closest in appearance is the shiver? but that creature looks more like a mutated dog creature, at least going off the wiki's pictures, where as the thing that attacked me was like a 4 legged spider and it made some horrible chittering/clacking sound at me.

I just started the game having never played before aside from a small test i had done earlier in the year, and i wanted to get a good feel for the game without any of the added lore or supernatural content and id heard that the homo sapiens mode was supposed to provide that experience, so i started a new world with that preset. After spending around an hour trying to learn the controls and mechanics id ended up getting stuck in the middle of a field in the middle of night with no light, food or shelter, and due to the fact it was raining i couldn't start a fire, so i ended up dying. upon respawning and waiting for it to get light out again, i spent the next 20 or so minutes chopping down trees trying to build up a supply of wood so once i found a good spot i could build myself a shelter. As i was exploring around i found what i can only describe as a horse drawn mobile home(?) with a friendly npc inside who acted as a merchant, and after having a chat with him i decided he would be a decent neighbor so i set about building myself a little wooden shelter nearby his house. After a little bit the sun went down again and while i waited for the sun to come back up i built myself a little fire and started work on getting a few extra tools made with some flint id found. While working on making myself a new axe, randomly a creature jumped out of the darkness in the corner of my screen and attacked me leaving me near dead while i was still in the menu, and then just as quickly ran off back into the darkness. needless to say this has left me massively freaked out and i ended up leaving the game out of fear. After looking around online im a bit confused as to my experience as from my understanding neither the npc nor this hostile creature should have been able to appear in my game with the homo sapiens mode enabled, so im wondering if people more experienced with the game then me can shed some light as to what's going on. Did i set something up wrong or is my game bugged? Im on 1.20.12 (stable)
