I might update my HardCorn Terralith NOMAD world to 1.21.10 soon. I just applied some modifications to the Fresh Animations resource packs, which were the last essentials I was waiting on.
I'll need a little time testing it all out, so I won't be updating this weekend, but maybe next.

The LIMBO Session 3 re-post to YouTube is up.
I beat my head against the wall a bit for some of the puzzles, and didn't get quite as far along as I'd hoped, but hopefully it will be more amusing then frustrating to watch me try.

Based on the progress I made in tonight's Limbo stream, I think I've got at least a couple sessions to go to complete the play-through. Next opportunities for those sessions should be in June and July per my holiday schedule, unless the fam does something else. 🤞

I traversed some beautiful but difficult terrain during tonight's session of HardCorn Terralith NOMAD. This particular spot, with a grotto hidden behind a waterfall accessed from this pond through a cut in the mountain, would make a nice base, I think.
Watch for the YouTube re-post tomorrow.

Another Sunday. Another YouTube re-post of Saturday night's session of HardCorn TOS.
This time I farmed and installed a big load of sea lanterns, then worked on reconfiguring the windows of the Spire.

I was reading up on mob spawning to see how far down to extend the drop shaft to get max guardians, and learned they spawn a lot less in water exposed to the sky. So I guess I'm building a roof on the guardian farm next time I'm there.
At least I've got lots of prismarine on hand. 👍

🏹 Minecraft question:
Is there a command that can stick a bunch of random arrows in a player without causing damage?
I want to include a shot in a video where I'm bristling with arrows, and I'm wondering if I can do it easily without skeletons or dispensers.
Thanks!

Apparently my opinion on spears vs guardian spikes is a controversial one.
But I maintain that as the spikes are only active when protruding, and, unlike the Thorns enchantment, don't act when guardians are hit with ranged weapons, they are clearly not magical but physical. Therefore limited range.

Last night I got a first-offense warning from YouTube, due to a link in an old vid description going to dangerous content. The vid is nearly three years old and the link was legitimate at the time. It's a simple case of link rot.
I don't think they should penalize for that at all, and I've appealed.

No Twitch stream tonight, and no HardCorn TOS this weekend. We're having some family fun instead.
Unfortunately, the Twitch app can't set vacation mode, and the website won't let me switch to desktop view to access it. So it shows a scheduled stream that won't happen.
