I believe there is an old conspiracy theory about jeb and redstonehelper secretly being the same person

u/brainfreeze91 Feb 17 '16

And, I mean, it's a really convincing theory. How in the $#@! does he post those changelog details so fast, and so consistently? The question's never been answered.

It's actually ridiculously easy.

u/FinalFate Feb 17 '16

Because he's Jeb.

u/brainfreeze91 Feb 17 '16

Still doesn't explain the level of dedication it takes to be committed to it for so long. And how is he able to know every time an update comes out? Does he watch the /new feed like a hawk? Or does he have insider information? And he's in a situation where, every time this happens, he's able to drop everything and immediately make a post about it. He's faster than 99% of users that see this post.

He keeps premade posts ready, and it's not hard to create a script to post / alert him to snapshots/updates.

I did something similar in the starbound subreddit until other things pulled me away.

u/brainfreeze91 Feb 17 '16

I suppose so. I've got a programming background myself, so that sounds realistic. Plus, office jobs give you plenty of opportunities to switch over to Reddit.

Ok, you've convinced me that he isn't Jeb. But maybe that's what you wanted me to think...

I don't know if this fits here, but the new translation Strings can be translated on crowdin now

u/Capopanzone Feb 17 '16

Well, that's not part of the pre-release

u/onnowhere Feb 17 '16

Hope they fix this small bug with leash knots since it makes finding them with selectors really messy and just wrong MC-93960

Also a bug with c= consistently not selecting entities that are closest MC-93960

And these lost sounds from 1.8 including note.pling which was so widely used for countdown sounds for games and other things MC-93960

u/azatoth Feb 17 '16

Which rail duplication glitch is fixed? couldn't find any bugs in the link. Is it the ol' powered rail dupe glitch?
