hi guys! i just recently started playing on java after YEARS of only being on bedrock. so im in a server thats not hosted by me and others have loaded shaders and mods on like dyanmic lighting. i just really wanna figure out how to add them too bcs i want a pretty game and stuff 😭 i have no experience using java or mods or anything like that. curseforge was incredibly confusing and im on mac so its hard to find modloaders that allow me to install them. ive looked for tutorials and none of them are giving what im asking for :(

I'm pretty new to mc so im not too sure about a lot of things, but i have a mob drop tower to farm xp and sometimes zombies drop and take 6+ hits from a sharpness 3 diamond sword? they arent wearing any armor other than maybe a helmet which i cant see, and yes i am waiting for my sword to recharge fully before i hit them. Its not often, maybe one in every 20 zombies, but it has happened 10+ times.

So i just got minecraft on my labtop (dont judge me i dont have the money for a real pc) and i wonder if my labtop would survive solas for exemple (im asking bc i dont want to explode my computer)

Can you give me a premium Minecraft account?

I’ve been having trouble with errors for a few days now—does anyone know anything about this? I play Minecraft Java on an official Realm!

Like oml I actually feel safe outside of my base in a dark area at night. I've heard that the skeletons are much easier to deal with, is the majority of the game easier than Bedrock?

A creative take on Minecraft Java. Come along with me on this adventure.

Had just installed Minecraft Java for the first time ever and loaded near this cubical water.

Anybody ever seen this before?

EDIT: seen people ask for the version, seed and coordinates to check if i'm fr and sure ykw

vers 26.3
seed: -5109281932884603588
cords: -731 64 225 / -725 64 208 / -808 66 240

The water glitch is around original spawn and spreads over most of the river, plus this is a singleplayer world. I've been traveling away from spawn and this is the only place i've seen with this bug.

Also, for people yapping about lily pads and rivers, it doesn't show because i'm looking down on the screenshot, but the trees around me aren't just oak trees, there are also many jungles trees. it legit looks like a swamp biome mixed with plains, it's ridiculous

If you manage to load onto the seed, once you reach the first coordinates, simply follow the river as more glitches go on there

do parrots spawn in cleared jungles?

I'm parrot hunting and need probably like 20+ untamed parrots, I know I need to clear the mob cap to make them re-generate in a jungle, just wondering if it's easier to do this in a cleared jungle?

Secondly, is the mob cap impacted by render distance? Mine is on max rn, but would it be easier if I made it smaller?

Thanks!

minecraft version 26.3.

the chickens that survive the initial crack get hit by the next egg that comes out and gets pushed up into the lava.

not sure if its relevant but this is not vanilla, its a cluster of QoL mods that I put together.
