I added Water and Lava Cows to Minecraft - (Snapshot 25w05a Datapack) DqwertyC 2025-01-30 | Minecraft Snapshot 25w05a introduced Cow Variants, which allow data and resource packs to add new types of cow to the game.Using this new feature, I've put together a small datapack that adds Fluid Source Cows to Minecraft. These cows will give water or lava instead of milk when clicked with a bucket!Requires both a data and resource pack, available on Planet Minecraft: planetminecraft.com/data-pack/fluid-source-cowsFor support, join the Command Block Cove on Discord: discord.com/invite/Vr9vfP6EqH
Custom Defender Enchantment (and playing card datapack update) DqwertyC 2025-01-24 | Teaser for a custom 'Defender' enchantment I'm working on using the new `blocks_attacks` component!It's not really at a point to release yet, but the enchantment method is essentially identical to that shown in the Flame Resistance enchantment tutorial I made last year if you want to take a shot at making it yourself: youtu.be/jr4D5k6x6SA?si=fEnmVJ9OiK6OCo4TAlso, I'm making a playing card datapack!

I Made an In-Game Texture Editor - Minecraft 1.21.4 DqwertyC 2025-01-07 | Get the datapack on Modrinth: modrinth.com/datapack/glamour-tablePlan your paintable textures with the helper app: dqwertyc.github.io/glamour-tableSpecial thanks to Arubik for their work on prettifying the web app!For support, join the Command Block Cove on Discord: discord.com/invite/Vr9vfP6EqHThis datapack uses some of the new data-driven texture features to create editable textures. With the updates to CustomModelData, instead of each item having a single custom model id, they can now have arrays of all sorts of different values. This allows the item's texture to be effectively stored within its components. I'm hoping to do a technical deep-dive on some of the new texture features, but it'll probably be a while before that comes out.
I made a Minecraft map that is IMPOSSIBLE to SCREENSHOT DqwertyC 2024-12-23 | World Download on Planet Minecraft: planetminecraft.com/project/unscreenshotableThis map and video were inspired by @brantagames series of videos over the past month or so. It uses a persistence of vision effect to show different blocks, textures, and entities with different patterns of shifting noise.The effect works best in this video if viewed in full screen with the resolution set to 1080p. While I did my best to fight the it, there are some extra artifacts added by the compression algorithm that take away from the effect. In game, the effect is much cleaner, and works with any screen size or resolution.To discuss this map, or for technical support, join us on Discord: discord.com/invite/Vr9vfP6EqH

Blocks/Ores - A Minecraft Homage to Bloxorz DqwertyC 2024-10-26 | Heyo everyone! The goal of this map was to test the limits of what's possible with some of the new technical features in Minecraft 1.21.3.

Super Piglin Bros - Snapshot 24w36a Map DqwertyC 2024-09-06 | Minecraft snapshot 24w36a introduced a ton of new technical features, including Input Predicates!World Download on Planet Minecraft: planetminecraft.com/project/super-piglin-bros-snapshot-24w6a-mapThese new predicates allow commands to check whether a player is pressing a variety of inputs, including movement, jumping, sneaking, and sprinting. This will make a ton of datapack creations a lot more streamlined, but the application I'm most interested in is minigames.The input predicates work while the player is in spectator mode, even when they are spectating another entity. With this setup, we can capture all of the player's inputs while maintaining total control over the player's camera. I've used this to recreate SMB 1-1 in Minecraft.Join the Command Block Cove on Discord: discord.com/invite/Vr9vfP6EqHConure's video on the snapshot: youtube.com/watch?v=twyazOZDvwESlicedLime's video on the snapshot: youtube.com/watch?v=riIq7IPSBRU

Rage Potion in Minecraft using Command Blocks DqwertyC 2022-07-15 | Questions about this episode or want help on your own Minecraft creations? Join the Command Block Cove on Discord: discord.gg/Vr9vfP6EqHThis week, we're creating a rage potion in Minecraft. This is a potion that will cause mobs to attack other, nearby mobs.The "Bad Luck" effect does not occur naturally in Minecraft, and only impacts player luck while fishing.

Conways Game of Life using just 5 Commands DqwertyC 2022-07-01 | This week, we're creating Conway's Game of Life in Minecraft using just 5 commands!Conway's Game of Life is probably the most famous 2D cellular automata. It features a grid of cells that can either be alive or dead. Each tick, dead cells with exactly 3 living neighbors come to life, and living cells with less than 2 or more than 3 living neighbors die. From these simple rules, extremely complex behavior arises.

Langtons Ant in Minecraft (Just 5 Commands) DqwertyC 2022-06-24 | This week, we're creating Langton's Ant in Minecraft with just 5 commands!Langton's Ant is a simple 2-D system where an "ant" traverses a field of cells, and changes direction each turn based on the color of the cell beneath it. These simple rules lead to fairly complicated behavior. You can read more about Langton's Ant on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langton%27s_antLangton's Ant was featured in Minecraft's 2020 April Fools update (Snapshot 20w14∞).
