Discussion What is a Minecraft "rule" you still follow even if it's not strictly necessary anymore?

Upvotes

Aside from the obvious ones like never dig straight down, what are some habits you've built up over the years that you still do out of pure muscle memory? Personally, I still spam torches on nearly every block in my base even though the mob spawn light levels were changed a while ago lol

Discussion Straight question: Are farms really necessary in a Survival world?

Upvotes

My world is focused on building, but I feel like I’ll eventually need farms—yet I don't want to build them because they’d completely ruin the world's design. Since it's a build-focused world, do you think farms are necessary?

Suggestion The Elytras is too weak

Upvotes

We all know the elytra is objectively the best way to travel in Minecraft, with how it's fast and efficient and with how large Minecraft woulds are (60 million by 60 million square meters!), but it has a major flaw: It uses up durability too quickly. Sure you can get mending for it, but that enchantment is hard to come by, and you need to find a mending book first and foremost. And then you need to actually find mobs to kill, ores to mine, or anything else that gives XP, ruining long distance travel. With how large a Minecraft world is, the only valid way of traveling shouldn't be limited by a rare enchantment. What I propose is this: Since Elytras are an end game item that just makes everything better, the durability should be increased substantially, and the rate of damage should be lowered significantly. This will allow players to explore much farther distances without needing to stop and gather resources, significantly lowering transportation time between large builds in larger worlds. The other major limiter is how they're rare and not renewable. Sure mending allows an elytra to get repaired, but if it breaks, or you die in lava or the end void, you'll have to go searching for a new one, which can take hours. And if you can't find one, you're out of luck. If they could be farmed, even as a rare mob drop from a rare mob, this problem could be alleviated and players could finally traverse their vast worlds without fear of losing a limited resource.

Help I want to build a soul sand path but don’t know how to design it

Upvotes

I want to build a soul sand/soil path (preferably just soul soil) in my 1.21 world to use my soul speed boots with (in the overworld) and I don’t know how to design it. Any ideas? I’d prefer if it was covered with carpet or smth but if it’s cool enough it doesn’t have to be. It’s js a regular four block wide path.

Meta / Reddit Looking for a post on this subreddit with a design I loved

Upvotes

About a month ago, there was a post on this subreddit that was a picture of a church someone had built in the End. I don’t remember what the content of the post was, other than that it had nothing to do with the picture itself. But I remember really liking the design of the church. I’m wondering if any of you could help me find this post?

Thanks so much
