grace's reflection it is >:)

When the night is starved and mean and long with dread And a bitter frost is filling up your bed You put your ear against the pale and howling wall You can almost hear the rider's mournful call

It's the cry of the banished horseman And to the man he killed, he vowed to never mourn To those he left, he promised to return Now call three times into the unforgiving storm You can almost hear the rider spread his arms

It's the cry of the banished horseman I am that rider on the dark, dark steed When they asked who saved you, tell 'em it was Reed Now follow me into the savage night You can almost hear a new dawn's early light

i mean. it's a song about a ghosty guy out in the snow who killed a guy & refuses to feel awful about it, and is pretty chill & helpful even though he seems scary and ghosty. how could i not put it in there!!! that's jonah!!!

While there is still lava, it's no longer on the surface- that part cooled and hardened into various rocks, including pegmatite, peridotite, and granite. This is extremely confusing to geologists, because by all indication those rocks were formed by lava, and yet the rocks themselves are the kind that form as a result of very, very slow cooling? As in, rocks usually formed underneath the Earth's crust?? Not on top??? (Player-placed Nether lava is Built Different rdfchgvjhb).

In any case, the lava itself is in a signifigantly smaller volume, but it still sits at the bottom of the rivers carved for it, below the surface. These days it's used for easy geothermal electricity.

thank you!! i'm definitely digital! >:3 but my paper texture comes from a pack i bought a while ago, so-oh no wait i tripped and dropped it and it fell directly into my google drive, oh no,

there's the original version on there, plus a higher contrast version i edited which is the one i usually use! i put it on a multiply layer above a base colour to make a background. and for art, i clip it to my colour layers & set it to multiply & lower opacity, then i usually add the SAI watercolour texture i exported god knows how long ago (also in the gdrive) & set that one to soft light

also! if you don't use clip this will be useless but if you do use clip it will help: when you open the textures in CSP, if you click Edit > Register Material > Image, this window will pop up:

if you tick those two boxes, save it to one of your material folders (i made one just for paper textures) you can drag it from your materials window onto your canvas & use the texture on as big of a piece as you want & scale it. basically it makes the texture do this, on the right, instead of staying like the left:

Well, if it is possible, it clearly hasn't happened yet! The Universe is more interestined in Respawning its hermits than in creating new Players.

Crafting works fine! ...If you're a Player. Otherwise you gotta do it the long, difficult way. If you can do it at all. Golden apples aren't really accessible these days, for instance.

No. Mending is kinda useless now, animals and ores no longer drop xp, you can't get any from fishing or smelting, etc. It's a pain in the ass for the hermits.

The big issue with using elytra is, as always, the rocket problem. Sure, the hermits can glide around, but they need to get up in order to use it with any effectiveness, and that's tricky without rockets, especially in the forest. They could build elytra towers, but there's not really a lot of point? Because they're living underground?

it’s been a WHILE since I set up prism on my own machine, but some generic “you’re having Java problems” notes:

start by running java -version on your command line to make sure you have an install of Java in your PATH. what COULD be happening is that you have a Java install, but don’t have it in your PATH so prism can’t find it, or you think you have an install but don’t.

note here that Minecraft Java edition DOES come bundled with the Java version it needs, but that prism isn’t always able to recognize that; you will need a Java install generically for your machine as well.

if you’re getting a Java error while launching the game, you may have the wrong version of Java. Minecraft 1.18+ uses Java 17, rather than Java 8 or 11, and you’ll need to go to oracle’s website and install the latest version of Java 17 for your computer.

alternately, you may have your Java install on a path prism doesn’t recognize—find the Java install and tell prism where it is!

alternately alternately, you could be me and have no less than four different Java versions installed on your machine in order to perform a variety of tasks (look Java 8 is still REALLY POPULAR in the work world). make sure prism is pointing to the correct install.

also I know oracle’s website is terrible, this is because oracle sucks.
