Hi guys today I'm releasing this mod pack I made which aims to faithfully improve upon the raw and stable gameplay of b1.7.3 that everybody has come to enjoy! I've backported many quality of life features that only TRUE beta players want, such as stackable food, sprinting, more blocks, ugly tree variations, the sniffer and many more faithful features which don't change the gameplay up too much!

Also the mod pack is gonna be called something like "better than modern minecraft" or "classic enhanced" or some other generic combination of titles copied from other popular mods.

And no I won't credit anybody.

Please enjoy I worked really hard on this! It takes very long to add jars to my Prism launcher instance! :D

if you look closely in the 1st trailer it says "vice", that might mean the game is set in vice city, what do you guys think?

Paths are too OP and the cut-off point for golden age Minecraft should be b1.6.6 because b1.7 added paths and they suck I hate paths and I hate people who like paths so if you like paths I hate you too, I wish I could be dominated by a cat girl in a maid costume every night.

I might get some more chickens, leave some names in the comments and I'll pick some!

Hello, I'm writing this post as a UK citizen who has obviously experienced accessing websites where it has asked for me to scan my face OR show them my government ID in order to proceed.

I would like to first say that I'm not heavily involved with the AI world, however I do have a lot of experience with software development on some smaller scales and a little bit of experience implementing encryption and hashing algorithms, this is just simply an idea of mine I've had floating in my head for a while and I wanted to write it down and share the idea with you all.

The solution I'm thinking of is to have similar technology to OpenPGP exist, however instead of encrypting, it would be used to hash information in such a way which would only reveal your AGE RANGE to whoever it is that is requesting this information, I also feel like the age ranges should simply be; <9, 9-12, 13-15, 16-17 and 18+, the groups would have to vary depending on the country of course, as I am aware that in some places, being above 21 is a requirement to access certain resources.

The way this relates back to OpenPGP is that I think for this to be implemented the best, the source requesting this information should provide a public key, which would contain the age group standard for it's place of origin's law as well as some other basic information like name, creation date, etc.

Should also go without saying but this should ALL be ran LOCALLY on the client's machine, the algorithm for calculating everything should be free software, and there should be a range of clients to choose from which can simplify it's usage and so people can find what best suits them.

Also, should once again go without saying that the hash should ONLY contain age groups, I can't stress this enough, there should be absolutely zero personal information contained within the hash, since you'll need to import the source's public key to hash the information, only that source will be able to determine your age group, they will never be able to access pictures/videos of your face.

I can only think of 3 potential flaws with this whole system though:

1. Developing an AI that can consistently return the same data based on pictures/videos of your face.
2. Using the same hash across different services.
3. Nobody will use it because it goes against what the UK and other countries wanted to achieve.

1st:
I can imagine it being very difficult to consistently tell an image/video contains the same person's face, pin-pointing all that information in an algorithm and being able to return the EXACT same data is very important, the reason being is that you don't want the hash to be always changing, the reason being is that services requesting this information will very likely be against the idea of the same person being able to have multiple identities, I've seen some crazy talented developers make some crazy algorithms though, I'm sure it's technically possible, I would love to be able to contribute to such development, however I'm incapable of doing so, at least in terms of offering code.

2nd:
Honestly this isn't really a flaw, it's more of just something I wanted to address, because you'll be using a public key provided by the service requesting this information, hashes will be unique to that service, the hashes won't be able to be used across multiple services, the service may have to however store these hashes to ensure they don't get recycled, this shouldn't be a huge privacy concern for anybody though.

3rd:
We all know the true intentions of this law, it's to track people digitally, this standard would likely be very rarely used by any service, however I still think it's worth having it as an option for the services that don't want to use the technology, but have to by law, and instead of just pulling out of the UK like a lot of services have recently, they'll at the very least have an option that respects the user's freedom.

Thanks for reading! This is all just theory and I'm not a professional, I'm sure I missed out a lot of technical details, but I'm sure people smarter than me will be able to provide solutions to that, please share concerns, thoughts, ideas, etc all in the comments, I'm happy to read any type of feedback, negative or positive.

And one last thing, I think age/ID verification shouldn't be a thing at all, they argue it's to "protect the kids", it isn't, let the parents do there job, it is there fault for not monitoring there kid's devices, it isn't the government's job.

i know this is a very unpopular opinion and i'm going to get a lot of hate for it but it's the TRUTH, the sooner you GTA 5 simpletons realise this, the sooner you'll become special and unique like me

is it just me or is there a hooker with heroin on her ass in my bed?

how is this the best selling game ever? after building the 10th penis i got bored

i hate this game
