I wish there was a mod to replicate 20w14infinite

well, just compare 20w13a or 14a to infinite codewise, find out the differences, and yoink the class files

Me: haven't touched a girl since kindergarten My friends: have kids and are getting married

Wait you touched girls in kindergarten?

And you didn't get expelled for that

Expelled?

Oh

Well, "an act of making contact between two or more surfaces"

catching up on chat cos I've been away but yeah while I think GotVs main issues were just a lack of coherent/consistent design outline going into it. The critiques you laid out there still ring somewhat true to me. It wasn't all bad ideas which is why a lot of it is still being carried over into Aether II but yeah it was largely a misstep. Though I will say the Dungeon loot structure actually accidentally created a near infinite gameplay loop that sustained a large multiplayer server for a couple years. Which was unexpected and unintended but yeah turns out a lot of people enjoyed the grind for some reason.

And yeah Orbis was a fantastic project with some really exciting tech behind it (and I believe Brandon's work on it was partially what got his foot in the door at Mojang) but after Brandon stopped being able to contribute to development to finish it it largely just fell apart as a project as we had no real documentation or resources as a team to continue/finish his work. Orbis to this day does not have its core concept implemented, which was a front end procedural generation GUI suite. I got to toy around with glimpses of it for my work on Aether IIs structures but yeah the full toolset was never finished or functional. And we are dumping it for the 1.16+ repo in favour of more finished and well documented toolsets

Wouldn't a near infinite gameplay look be good for a game like Minecraft?

orbis is fucking cool

I describe it that way but it was honestly just the dungeon being relatively quick to grind out with friends while also having an insanely balanced loot pool so you could very easily sink hours into grinding specific items

yeah I would love to see it for modern MC someday so I can mess around with it more easily

I imagine Brandon will likely carry on his ideas with Orbis in vanilla MC

I think it may have inspired NBT structures and stuff too

already seen bits of it with that gamemode switch UI haha

Yeah I would love to see that mode where you can like paint spheres

those QoL features were a big part of Orbis' mandate iirc

Yeah I love the gamemode switcher so much that sometimes I instinctively press the keybinding for in versions it wasn't in and then realize that it wasn't added yet and get disappointed
