minecraft world status update

connects the main base to a new mine

mfw inside the long tunnel

facing away from the mine end

it connects to both inside the cave house, and the outside

additionally

new farmhouse up top

that's the "staircase" up

it ain't much but it's honest work

anyhow, that's the world status update

I also ransacked a village for all it's hay bales

and lava bucketed a few cows and sheep for free cooked food

pro tip: don't waste lava on chickens

they die straight away and don't drop food because it gets burned

also, obviously, new texture pack

(ik it's "resource pack" but like I said we partying like the world will end in December :p)

@lyxal what texture pack is that

@RydwolfPrograms Thanks for all the info! This gives me some helpful perspective.

I am probably not interested in building from scratch. I might if I had a local friend who did that sort of thing and could guide me through it. On my own, I'd worry about messing something up.

I'd be willing to swap a couple parts out, since I've done that before.

I was looking at this one, which seems to check all of the boxes except the AM5 CPU socket. Assuming I just don't ever upgrade the CPU, how future-proof do you think a Ryzen 7 5800X3D 3.4GHz is? (And what do the numbers mean? I noticed your build had a Ryzen 5, but it was 7600 3.8 GHz.)

@Ginger some sort of "simple" pack type thing

@DLosc If you've got good cooling you'll be getting ~4.5 GHz, which is still pretty decent single core speed, so you should be fine for a while. And with 8 cores and multithreading being increasingly common in games, CPU performance likely won't be an issue (plus the massive amount of cache, that's what the X3D indicates)

I also use a mod pack called fabulously optimised

I know I said I wasn't doing modded, but performance improvement isn't really changing the base game :p

The 500 GB SSD is pretty small, so you'd probably end up swapping that out after not too long (unless you added another SATA drive from your old PC or something)

Here's a comparison between the 5800X3D and 7600: cpubenchmark.net/compare/4823vs5172/…

Overall looks like a decent prebuilt tho, especially if you already have an SSD lying around

@lyxal based modrinth user

Well technically I use multimc

But the mod pack for optimisation comes from modrinth

yeah I was referring to that

I uh

do not like curseforge

@RydwolfPrograms Ok, cool.

I don't see myself needing a lot of hard drive space: I've got 1 TB on my current desktop and I've only used 184 GB of it. But it also says it comes with extra drive bays, so adding more shouldn't be a problem.

(Shoutout to the old Windows 98 family computer that had an 8 GB hard drive :D)
