MedicineMane's Positive Ponies

The problem is this tree does kinda need to be perfect, because it's gonna end up being such a prominent feature

This isn't unattainable, just... means a whole lot of work and refining and looking and thinking and waiting and thinking and looking and refining and a need to be willing to tear stuff out if it turns out it isn't what's needed... but... also not randomly tearing stuff out for no reason

(I mean I ripped like 3 or 5 layers out at one point and it was 100% the right move, and it's not like I think I need that right now... just... I need to be willing to)

Like I'm just trying to figure out how much sway it has... part of me says "not swaying even close to enough, too straight", but part of me says "looks good, pull it backwards now and start the bend in the other direction"... I have an opinion on which is right, but I won't say

Just very very tricky cause it has to look good from every angle. It's allowed to be an ugly tree, what it's not allowed to be is not tree looking... like in that last picture does it look right (I touched up the roots a little after taking that, so I just mean the trunk)

Shearable vines, literally everyone who works with vines wants it. This one is popular. Shearable bamboo would be nice too. I just like being able to lock stuff in place instead of using string (also ew, what's that new string texture, I'm with Doc on this one, I hope they revert that)

Conduit without night vision. I hate night vision unless I'm using it to work. I'm very specific with my lighting. I want waterbreathing, but night vision is ugly. I put the shearing things higher, but I personally want this one more, and I will never ever get it. Maybe someday I'll commission a mod for it

Allays that don't suck. I really really want to use them, but I'm not ringing a note block every 30 seconds, that's insane. I don't really want to have to cheat in a player head. Like Hermitcraft they're fine cause they use that heads datapack, but me? No way to get one without cheating. Give me a way to do the noteblock silently that's vanilla, or... at least give me a way so I can have an open door and they won't just wander

(Actually flying mob pathing in general, hate I can't have open air bees because they'll just fuck off into the ocean and drown, that's so stupid)

Final one, I really would like the Glare. Come on, just... you gave the copper golem (which I don't like because they're loud, their models are great but outside of a single use I personally will never use them cause I don't want chests constantly opening and closing)

That's my list, they do these four things for me I won't shut up forever, but I'll complain less

...all the mobs that lost the mob vote, and shearable vines (and if I can have something impossible they'll never ever ever ever ever ever give me, a version of the conduit that's only water breathing no night vision)

That's the update that would make me happy. I was just thinking how some crabs would be nice for this beach, and it's like... wait... they talked about those... they didn't win, did they? I don't think so...

Or the Glare would let me do lighting without needing to use minihud all the time. Would be nice to be able to light stuff using something in game instead of something that breaks immersion by throwing a bunch of numbers up

I don't know, I'm just kinda a sullen asshole and I don't particularly love a lot of the stuff the devs add

Like, love love love the young dandelion thing, wanted that since forever... don't really like the new baby models if I'm honest. Too cartoony, I really did like just the... is mob, but is small

All feels too fucking bedrock. Like I see footage from bedrock and it makes my eyes bleed the way they're doing little emote dances or whatever and there's particle everywhere and all that shit

No, minecraft must be jank and ugly in order to be beautiful

So yeah... there's just a lot of stuff where... I just... each update I usually like roughly 2 minor things and then roll my eyes at the main feature. Like trial chambers, you know what I love about trial chambers? ...the pots. I literally only go into those in order to get the sherds I want (sadly I really like them for my redstone museum, fuck my life). Someday I'll set up a wind charge farm, but literally just don't give a fuck about trial chambers because it's so far off how I play

On one hand it doesn't super matter, but on the other hand it just sucks how everything I like ends up not catering to me but catering to people who are almost the opposite of me

I just hate knowing that one of these updates they'll do something I actually can't tolerate and have to never update again (it's gonna be breaking redstone, someday they'll do some shit like removing quasi connectivity, and that'll break my door, and I'll say welp... no updates ever again)

A lot of this is probably microsoft more so than the devs, but... yeah... I just... I get excited for tuff stairs, and then I stay on 1.21 for years because I've got glitches I want to use but don't have the energy to. I want oak logs but don't give a shit about creaking. I hate the changes to zombie leaders cause it's just a pain. I think the geysers are neat in theory but kinda don't like the particle's speed and the mechanics based on what I've seen so far

So, for one thing, she's doing a writing class and keeps being like "hold on... hold on...", and when I go I can just come back later, no there's something she needs to tell me right this second

Then someone on the computer starts talking about writing advice and it's like... mute it or talk to me, don't do both because you can't do both

Then she's making it out like this stuff is some horrible news... no, the paperwork for the heating assistance we apply for is just being a pain in the ass (yeah, that's what it does)

Two things... one... please don't wind me up like there's a catastrophe I have to take care of, because sometimes it really is something horrifically difficult I need to magic a solution to

Two... why did I need to wait around for this, you could have just told me about this after the class is done. She'll do this shit, she'll call me on the phone to make me come down, and then it'll just be like "your dad's doctor's office wants him to call so they can tell him his results"... ok... so... tell him... and that can also just wait till the next time we see each other naturally, I do not need to run down a flight of stairs to be told about this shit

Then I guess there's a three, which is lady if you put me in charge of your accounts like I'm asking you to (and you don't get a choice on, my uncle demands this), then I can just start handling this kind of paperwork for you

I don't know man... when someone acts like... hell... even children don't act like this... when someone acts like a full time institutional patient that needs round the clock care and is capable of literally nothing... maybe they should just abdicate all responsibility but that also entails giving me 100% authority so I can actually take care of the stuff I need to

Mom... mom basically wants me to handle everything but still wants to be in charge of all of it because otherwise she's a failure

Man this world is just so inspiring

See you have to understand, the reason I want to get through all my current projects is so I can work on all the other projects I have in mind, not because I hate the current project... just have too many ideas

Look at this little village that's so close to the mountain, look at how perfect it is for a revamp of everything pretty much exactly where it is

Look at that little house on the island, imagine a nicer looking lake and more or less the same house but just better and how good that'll look. Plus there's... a cave that would make a perfect little mine, there's that big empty rectangle in the bottom left that could make a really great inn... this village can be so cool in the future, and it'll be able to tie into the mountain because of how close it is, and I can just slowly expand what's finished

The only reason I'm so irritable about not being done with my base is because there's more I want to work on. When I finish the base I don't end this world, I unlock more of it and hopefully get to go faster and faster as I slowly get more and more farms built. I could work on this world for 50 years and not get bored, because... man..

Dead village, Caves of Time, mushroom island, that little basin in the water near this village, that HUGE basin in the swamp near the far north portal, the stronghold, all of the mainland, that really cool mountain I found near the dead village, the catacombs (technically part of the dead village, but I want to keep making it worse and more confusing forever)... I mean the nether, I haven't even mentioned all the nether stuff I want like the cave below and the open pseudo overworld on the roof (goes without saying I want to finish the caldera and the minecart ride from the mountain to the mushroom island, and also the dolphin highway)...

And if I finish all that and don't find any other areas I want to work on, then I'd still be able to work forever just connecting those areas. Miles and miles of endless ocean between the mountain and the mushroom island which I could terraform and make look so much cooler

I want to be done with my projects so I can do new projects, I want to get water into the nether so I can update... oh... right... also the redstone museum, writing books into the library, all the library sections that don't even have anything in them other than a door... just the possibilities are endless, and I want to stop working on the stuff I'm working on and get to work on all this new stuff too

...god I need to finish all the farms I'll need (but there again, water in the nether lets me put a concrete converter in the nether which could also dry and blow up sponges)
