cc @sterno potential drama afoot

@Timelord64 If it wasn't the true case, it would not be so hard for you to provide meta reference, either. We've been closing these types of questions for months. We had a meta post. It resolved nothing. Everyone still voted exactly the same as before. I define tech support as, "Getting modded Minecraft working." Obviously, so do others. — Frank 3 mins ago

I've been playing Pokemon ruby edition on a gba emulator lately, when I stumbled across fisherman Dan or whatever and his three, useless Magikarps I had a level thirteen Mudkip that had fainted, and I was trying to level up my level seven zigazoon (I also have a level seven silicoon, but it's use...

1:11 AM

@GodEmperorDune fwiw, duplicate id is a crash

That is the extent of me getting involved.

Maybe.

GodEmperorDune

cmon

Frank

@Unionhawk @badp already reopened it as an exception. We'll see how it goes.

GodEmperorDune

through your boat weight around

Dragonrage

Comment: made a substantial and reasonable edit..

Unionhawk

Well I usually remain mostly uninvolved in these things

badp

1:14 AM

yup, I'm happy to receive feedback since I haven't minecrafted in a long while

so I'm out of touch with the specifics of the crafting of the mines

Unionhawk

I mean, duplicate ID is a crash, but I mean

You could notice that a thing is sharing an ID before it crashes

Since that's hopefully a config?

But I think Forge might assign IDs automatically these days so maybe not

badp

@Unionhawk I would assume that Minecraft would crash WAY sooner than 9884 if that was the case

Unionhawk

This case definitely more comes down to "you still can't do a billion mods without hitting a conflict despite forge trying really hard to avoid them"

badp

since the limit is at 4k

Unionhawk

@badp wait, holy crap

badp

1:18 AM

to my untrained eyes this looks more like 9884 was hardcoded in one of the mods

Unionhawk

Looking...

badp

which makes NotEnoughIds basically an undeclared dependency of whichever mod this was

Unionhawk

Hmm

badp

apparently Minecraft mods don't get to specify other mods as their dependencies?

GodEmperorDune

oh is minecraft still a thing? i thought microsoft fixed it by making everything bigint

badp

1:20 AM

@GodEmperorDune pls, it's BigInteger

might as well use BigDecimal though.

GodEmperorDune

meh

meh i say

badp

it's jawwer

GodEmperorDune

decimal is a terrible name for a numeric type

NBN-Alex

Fixed by making the Pocket Edition the more popular one. :|

GodEmperorDune

badp

1:21 AM

@GodEmperorDune says you

Python is perfect and does all the things

Unionhawk

That's very weird actually.

GodEmperorDune

@badp hmm, python is usually super good at naming

so good that my variable names and such conflict with builtins

Unionhawk

And it doesn't help that I don't know if this is an item or biome ID

arda

from Hell import BadRats

Unionhawk

But neither make sense since I've definitely seen item IDs in the tens of thousands

@GodEmperorDune I would wholeheartedly support this.

@Frank and you can't deny that it is a game.

@Frank probably because it encompasses the majority of our questions.

@Unionhawk I never argued to the contrary.

But there's been spinoff SE sites before.

Programmers.SE, for one. Chess.SE, for another.

We could make a very good case for disallowing Minecraft completely, and then allowing it to move forward as a new site in A51.

@GodEmperorDune Yeah, but they seem to have nipped it in the bud.

@Frank fighting for years and having active users routinely run out of close votes doesn't seem like "nipping it in the bud" to me

@GodEmperorDune That sounds like a need for more mods, then.

GodEmperorDune

@Frank possibly

Frank

I wonder how they're still fighting it, though?

GodEmperorDune

@Frank i was just going through recent questions

Unionhawk

@Frank Yeah users like me would not be a problem anymore

Frank

@Unionhawk You're one of the few good ones.

GodEmperorDune

tbh i was entirely joking and am a bit frightened that it picked up stars so quickly

Frank

About 90-95% of users that ask Minecraft questions are 1-rep users who don't care.

GodEmperorDune

1:43 AM

@Frank plus we have all of those legacy good minecraft questions

Unionhawk

Consider content not users please.

GodEmperorDune

with who knows how many links floating around the internet

so anytime a new user finds one of those links, follows it to "yay i can ask minecraft things here"...

Unionhawk

If you say migrate it all I will probably throw my phone

Yes, we get a lot of questions about it. So if you wanna help the site, help sort through the stuff. Use the tools.

jeez i feel like nigel asshole-i-forgot-his-name

Edit, comment, do the things.

Frank

@Ash Problem is, the vast majority of what comes in is either unintelligble, or off-topic.

user15026

We're not punting a large amount of content and traffic and what have you just because people don't like that it takes time and work to deal with

user15026

1:46 AM

There are very few that come in that can actually be salvaged.

but they're a) mostly the same

I certainly haven't seen a deluge of nonsense ones

Frank

@Unionhawk If we had stats, I'd guestimate around 60-70% of the questions that come in related to Minecraft get closed and deleted.

Unionhawk

1:47 AM

The closest we've come to drowning is when they redid late answers

user15026

and b) not nearly as terrible as people think

Frank

I'm not saying it's a deluge.

@Frank citation needed

Frank

Who's saying that?

user15026

And even if that's true

Frank

1:47 AM

@Ash Can't; they're deleted.

That's why it's a guestimate.

Unionhawk

@Frank cool, they get handled by the tools we have

user15026

why does it matter that we deal with them

user15026

if they're deleted it means we.are.handling.them.
