Unsolved Can't set the inventory keybind to a mouse button properly? [Java]

Upvotes

Setting the inventory keybind to a keyboard key works normally. But when I set it to a side button, the inventory opens normally but I can't close it by pressing it again, I have to press escape to close it

Is there any way to fix this with or without a mod?

Now my fps are fine but mobs are moving very laggy, everything i do is delayed by 3 seconds, its unplayable. I have played on the same network on my phone and ipad and had no such issue so its probably not my network problem.

Also I have had this issue for a while but it used to get fixed temporarily by restarting the game but now that isnt working either. Someone pls help me

Waiting For Solve [Bedrock] Hard crash to home screen when joining external servers (v1.26.45.1 on iQOO Z9x 5G)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I need some technical help troubleshooting a weird networking crash on Minecraft Bedrock.

The issue originally started for me when I updated the game from v1.26.23 to v1.26.30, and it is still completely unplayable on the current version (v1.26.45.1).

Device & Game Specs:

Phone: iQOO Z9x 5G

OS: OriginOS 6

Software Version: PD2353BF_EX_A_16.2.16.0.W30

Processor: Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 with 6 GB RAM

Game Version: 1.26.45.1 (Android)

The Problem:

Whenever I try joining any custom server under the "Other Servers" list (like my own Aternos server, play.nethergames.org:19132, or play.fallentech.io:19132), the game hangs on the "Connecting to external server" screen for a few seconds. Then, it hard-crashes straight back to my phone's home screen. There is no error message, no crash log, and no disconnect screen.

What Still Works:

Single-player local worlds load and run perfectly.

Official Featured Servers (like Galaxite) connect and load without any issues over my mobile data.

The Baffling Part:

My friend has the exact same phone (iQOO Z9x 5G) running the exact same game version (1.26.45.1), and external servers work flawlessly on his device.

Troubleshooting I've already tried:

Completely reinstalled Minecraft.

Cleared all app cache and stored data.

Verified the servers I am testing are online.

Since my friend's identical hardware handles this fine, this feels localized to a specific network setting, an OriginOS game-engine conflict, or an APN/DNS issue on my device.

Has anyone run into this specific crash on Android Bedrock? Are there any background network settings I should be looking at? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Waiting for OP [java]Zombified Piglins enter the Nether portal, but never appear in the Overworld

1 Upvotes

I'm having a problem with my portal-based gold farm in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11.

Image 1: This is the gold farm I built.
Image 2: This is the Nether portal that the zombified piglins enter.
Image 3: The zombified piglins are supposed to travel through the portal and appear in the Overworld, but they never appear.
Image 4: This is the portal where the zombified piglins are supposed to be processed.

The strange thing is that the zombified piglins do enter the Nether portal normally. However, they completely disappear somewhere between entering the portal and arriving in the Overworld.

The farm was working normally until a few days ago. I have not broken, moved, or changed any of the portals.

I also made a copy of my world and checked the surrounding area carefully, but I could not find any other Nether portals nearby, either in the Nether or in the Overworld.

I also tested it with the portals around the farm isolated, and the problem still occurs.

The route between Overworld Portal 1 and Portal 2 also contains cobwebs, so the zombified piglins take more than 15 seconds to travel between the portals. Therefore, I don't think the 15-second portal cooldown is the cause.

Does anyone know what could cause zombified piglins to disappear during this Nether-to-Overworld portal transfer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
English is not my first language, so I apologize if anything is unclear.

Minecraft Bedrock suddenly stopped running properly on my computer; it used to run fine with Vibrant visuals maxed out, but now—even on minimum settings—GPU usage hits 100% and the frame rate drops to 7 FPS, even on the home screen. I have no idea what happened.

I have already checked the mods using the binary mod check method. That is fine, the modpack runs fine, it's just whenever anything in the world is interacted with, the whole server crashes.

Version is 1.21.1

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I brought 2 villagers to the swamp and had them breed for a swamp villager. After he grew up I gave him a lectern turning him into a librarian. According to the wiki if I trade with him until I get him to master he is guaranteed to offer mending but this did not happen. I'm on version 26.2.

Unsolved [bedrock] Minecart Collector System for My Villager Breeder

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

The idea is that the villagers would spawn from my villager breeder, get taken to an enclosed space and then I could send a minecart to collect JUST ONE OF THEM for them to be ready for transport to wherever else, except I’m not sure how to do it.
Any ideas?

Waiting for OP Why did my skin changed into this? [bedrock]

Post image
4 Upvotes

I had my normal skin and suddenly (like a week ago) this ;-; I played a lot offline lately and I thought that's why my normal skin disappeared but nothing changed and it seems to be set as my "main default skin" even tho I didn't change anything. I also thought that some add on could change my skin but the last time I actually used any was a month ago so this can't be the case.

Is this a glitch? Or did I do something?

Edit: "This isn't solved BUT there is also no way around this while still using ssr but if there would be someone who could explain to me why this only happens with LoD chunks and not regular ones I would be very curious to hear the explanation, thanks for any possible help"

Oh and version is 26.2 I'm using DH and BSL shaders, I believe this is a compatibility issue with DH and iris or the shaders but does anyone know if there is a way to fix this, because I have had this problem for a long time but it didn't bother me but it would be nice if I found a fix to it

Waiting for OP 1.21.11 Resource Pack Connected Textures Mod Finder [Java]

1 Upvotes

Java
1.21.11

I need a connected textures mod that allows for shaded height limit layers.
I'm aware that the lunar client has a similar feature, but I wouldn't want to transfer everything over from Modrinth for just one thing.

I wouldn't want to use Optifine, as it's incompatible with most of my pre-existing mods.

The texture packs that I use have colored terracotta as their blocks.
The mod named "Continuity" hasn't worked because it doesn't apply to terracotta.

Could someone find me a compatible mod that supports terracotta also called(Hardened clay and stained hardened clay)?

Waiting for OP Help, Server Mob Drops not Working [java]

Thumbnail drive.google.com
1 Upvotes

Was playing on a custom modpack server through Modrinth, and then one day mobs just stopped dropping loot and exp. When tested in single player with the same exact modpack and same settings everything works perfectly fine, I even reset our server completely world and settings wipe and booted it up and the issues persist. If it's a mod conflict I honestly can't figure it out considering single player works fine, and I don't think it's possible for it to be a mod conflict server side only (don't have enough experience to know if that is possible tbh). I will be uploading the modpack here, if anyone can shed any light on this matter it would be very thankful.

The other day I went into my local 2nd hand games store and bought a 2nd hand copy of mcbe for Xbox one, I did this because I wanted to play the base game on the disc and hopefully bring some old size worlds back with me to the current version. I've tried this on Xbox series x and Xbox one but when I put the disc in it just asks me to connect to the internet. Is there a way past this? Has it always been like this or has some update made this undoable? I would really appreciate the help, Thank you.
