I learned to today that setting MEMORY on your minecraft server causes the
JVM to egregiously allocate all of that memory. Not setting it causes slow
downs and potential crashes, but setting INIT_MEMORY and MAX_MEMORY gives
us the best of both worlds. It is allowed to use more, but does not gobble it
all up on startup.
In this economy we need to save all the memory we can!
Here is a non-working snippet for a minecraft server deployment in kubernetes.
containers:
- name: dungeon
image: itzg/minecraft-server
env:
- name: EULA
value: "true"
- name: INIT_MEMORY
value: "512M"
- name: MAX_MEMORY
value: "3G"
and in docker compose
dungeon:
image: itzg/minecraft-server
environment:
EULA: "true"
INIT_MEMORY: "512M"
MAX_MEMORY: "3G"

Microsoft has been addding features to Minecraft for over 10 years now. Idk if there was momentum from the mojang theme, but we’ve barely paid attention to any updates in the last five years. The ocean update was huge, caves and cliffs were huge then it trailed off to we play each release on release day, use commands to try out new features, then never touch them again either to play minecraft as we always have or to play a modded pack with crazy new features that really make an impact on gameplay.

Wyatt built out this full world to start making a film series about FROGS. The entire set it built on a flat world, but yet feels so immersive.

wondercraft session one
My son and I are starting a new Minecraft server today called wondercraft.
setup # [1]
We are running a few mods on this server notably FTB Ultimine for less grindy
resource gathering, Sodium for shaders, and Universal Shops.
[2]
We are runninng on Minecraft 1.20.1, I think this is because it was the
latest supported by Universal Shops, its at least one major release old at this
point.
[3]
I grabbed a few shaders, the ones that you see in this post are rethinking
voxels.

spawn # [5]
We initially spawned in a plains biome near an acacia and forest biome. We
ended up going straight for the forest, only coming back for some sheep and
wheat seeds.

Night one Zombie fight # [7]
On the first night we had the obligitory zombie fight before getting beds and bases set.

Salmon Wrangler # [9]
I was the designated food provider. I setup a small wheat farm with about 64
seeds, then went out to hunt down some salmon for the immediate food need. I
ended up with about...
Teleport to coop partner
Hello,
Is there a command where you can teleport to your coop partner? Or is it just this Follow button in chat? :)

This is the best tree I have ever built in minecraft. It took at least 4 stacks of logs and leaves despite what it looks like.
It is placed where Welscraft’s island in the hermitcraft season 10 seed, but on our own server we call lonecraft.
We started this server a few weeks after hermitcraft season 10 started, and play on it a few times per week. It has a pretty successful day one iron farm that took us way more than one day to complete, and the farm behind this is our first ever villager driven farm. Somehow potatoes got cross contaminated and now its pumping out potatoes and some bread, but no carrots or beat roots.

Formatting codes – Minecraft Wiki
Formatting codes (also known as color codes) add color and modifications to text in-game.
Minecraft Wiki · minecraft.wiki [1]
Minecraft MOTD and server names have formatting codes so that you can get colors, bold, underlined, italics, in your message of the day or server name. See the article for all the cods.

Intro - Minecraft Server on Docker (Java Edition)
Documentation for Minecraft Server on Docker
docker-minecraft-server.readthedocs.io [1]
I just learned that if you can exec into the container running minecraft with the itzg/minecraft container you can run rcon-cli to get command access to the server. You need to set the RCON_PASSWORD if you want to access rcon remotely, but if you have not already done this and have access to the server you can just run rcon-cli when you are in.

Underground Bases with Wyatt
Playing minecraft with Wyatt today he started a server all on his own and had
me join. All vanilla, only one rule, underground bases.
[1]
I spawned into the server and it was already night time. I gathered up some
wood on my way down a tree, and was attacked by zombies before I could get any
tools, so I ran up another tree and crafted a crafting table.
[2]
Now to follow the rules, it’s time to head underground to build my base.
[3]
I made a mistake and died, but look at this view from my respawn point.
