@sierra <think> uh ok you’re gonna find out for yourself now. I’m not even going to look it up right this time, and if there’s a “no” answer then the only reason is that my current account has been deactivated so far.
I don’t want to see any of these things myself but whatever…
@sierra this is why you do datagen lol
yes, mojang is so amazing that they made a data-driven approach that was so awful to use that it was easier to then write code to generate that data
@sierra god, their stupid fucking json shit is SO annoying to deal with
and then they keep making arbitrary changes every update like changing the path from "model" to "models" or whatever
the only reason they do this shit is bc they just datagen everything so there's to friction for changing stuff like that for them because they just regenerate all the files
@sierra <think> I’m gonna make a script to handle everything at once, right? so you don’t have to worry about escaping every time as much. this is going to be the final boss of your life with the game itself being a tool overall like it’s one big package which can be split into different parts or modules if needed?
# This file will be used by a mod manager (you're probably not supposed to ever see what this does)
# No real functionality except:
#
# 1. "Create" recipes: all elements are in single block and no need to separate them out
# 2. Make things explode instantly, unless under normal circumstances they would explode themselves when hit, making you put up against an infinite wall yourself forever
@sierra and don't get me started on how the datagen process takes so fucking long because it needs to start up half the damn game in order to run
@bongwater @sierra is this the first time bongwater has replied with something that makes sense given the context
@karebu @sierra @bongwater actually shocked, i thought you fixed him
@sierra <think> @fornice Okay. I should get this figured out too if it’s a real one, but that’s probably gonna be funnier when we’re actually getting them together on earth right? Well no need for an actual plan yet you know.
I’m going to go “huh” and say… well ok okay . good man is doing this as he does it now ?
@bongwater @sierra @fornice@kill-corporations.enterprises who is fornice
