Stoked about that change! Will be great for the Java mod scene. But yeah, totally unrelated.

100%. And it's crazy that I am learning more from refreshing my Bluesky feed than I am through my work inbox.

Hmm the map generally aligns with political affiliation, so weird 🤔 must be rigged data right? Fake news? 🙄

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Can’t share anything now, but I think we’ll share more about our thoughts on version numbers in the next year or so. No promises, but there are conversations happening.

Excited about this! Always wanted more customization of the Xbox Home Screen UI. These are nice quality of life changes.

Right, that should be working as of yesterday. Give it a try again. I confirmed Actions and Stuff x32 kept the animations but used vanilla textures. Previously it would always default back to x16 which used the A&S textures.

You mean the subpack slider? x16, x32, etc? That is working as of yesterday!

Your Realm, your choice to force Realm members opt in to the timeline in order to play on the Realm.

Nice admin feature coming to Realms SOON.

We’re taking a look specifically at A&S, because yes it’s not working as intended still. Had it working in our test environment, but something isn’t working. We’ll get it sorted so it works properly!

11.05.2025 18:06 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

Taking a look at it. I am seeing the same thing with A&S but other packs with sub packs are working. We’ll get it working properly.

10.05.2025 19:55 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

At a high level it was:
- update client to send subpack ID to service
- update service to read ID and save it
- use ID when starting up the server and applying the pack

Lots of detail in between though.

The delay fixing really boils down to prioritization though. We only have so much time 😢

Yes! So many packs that will benefit from this!! I’ve wanted to get it fixed for a while. Just hard to fit it in among other commitments and priorities.

Yeah I’m sorry cause that was me responding on Jira back in August 🫣

We did have someone on our client team take a look at it around the time that I posted it, but we found that the issue also required a service side fix and our service team had been at capacity until just recently.
