Birch wood does NOT deserved the kinda hate it gets, its defiantly not a great wood type but it is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. The log kinda sucks but its the kinda wood where you can pair it with a different wood type log like oak, and the planks are actually pretty good. And there are way worse wood types (acacia and jungle im lookin at u)

what are the best shaders for realism while still having good performance for my rtx5060, right now I'm doing photon on ultra profile but i feel like i could do better because my performance is easily 130+ bonus points if it works with distant horizons/voxy

I’m using docker on an unused macbook to host a 24/7 server, I’ve figured out the actual server with local connections and stuff but how do I let other people join? are there any methods that aren’t too technical like port forwarding? I’ve looked into playit.gg but idk how to make it work on my specific setup

is there anyway for core protect to moderate entities?

i want to send an anonymous message to the owner of a server im in, i was thinking of writing a book and quill and puttin it into a hopper minecart on a rail, push the minecart far away from the rail and break the rail, but would this work?

right now i want to upgrade my GPU, currently i have an 11 year old gtx 960 with 2 gigs of Vram my pc is descent in other aspects but the GPU is the definitely the bottleneck. I've looked at a used rtx3060 but of course it is on eBay and is pretty sketchy because of the probability of mining and all of that, recently ive started looking more into a new PNY rtx5060 deul fan I have seen so much crap talk on this gpu specifically so im wondering if its the right choice, even if that gpu is kinda bad idgaf cus mine came out in 2015

(btw i have 850 watt power supply and 1080p 165hz monitor)

edit: i know ebay can be safe with ratings and stuff its just that basically all the gpus there were used for mining and i want maximum lifetime for it. thats why im leaning more to the 5060 because its safer, more efficient and higher fps with just a bit more money
