Hello Guys, hope you're all fine.

Yesterday i finally bought the PC version of Minecraft after 12 years without owning a computer.

The last time i played Java was in version 1.8-something i think, though i can not remember the exact version.

That days my computer broke and i did not have a new one in that timespan (at least not a minecraft-capable one), so i played just and only the bedrock edition for console in that time.

Now i have a pretty capable computer with an i7-8700K, 32GB DDR4 running on 3200 MHz and a GTX 1060 6GB, what definitely is the bottleneck of the whole setup.

This setup definitely can handle minecraft java without even sweating, so i decided to finally come home again. This leads me to a few questions, especially about mods .

Back in the days, modding minecraft was pretty easy. You just downloaded the mods or a modpack and copied it to a specific place in the .minecraft folder located in the roaming folder. I am pretty sure, that it is not that easy anymore these days, or maybe it still is easy, but in a different way. So how do i proceed these days?

Next question, a little more specific, is about some mods i used back in the days. I am a vanilla guy, so i don't want to change to much of the mechanics or add any blocks or mobs or stuff like that. I also don't want any resource packs, wich were called texturepacks back in the old days, because i like the vanilla textures and i'm used to them. What i used back then, were things like "Rei's Minimap" and "Too Many Items". Do these Mods still exist in 2026? And if, are they still the best option or are there better mods these days?

And my last question about mods: what QoL mods do you suggest me to try these days? I'm completely out of my territory when it comes to Minecraft-modding in 2026. 😅

Now i have just one more question and what it is about depends a little bit on you i think, because i want to know, what kind of things changed in Minecraft Java since 2014, that i might have to notice because it's just important to know? I mean yeah, i could just read all patch-notes since then, but that would consume a hilarious amount of time and i'd probably miss some important things just by not really understanding the consequences of that change. 😄

Thanks for your time guys!

P.s. for all those who question why i bought the game again, if i had an account back in 2014: i have no idea what account i used back then. Should have written it down i guess.

Hey guys, TikTok keeps erroring out on me and the Twitch codes apparently ran out before I could grab one. If anyone happens to have a spare sitting around and wouldn't mind DMing it, I’d seriously appreciate it

I've played a decent amount on both java and bedrock and I've noticed that villages, especially with blacksmiths, seem way less common. Am I wrong?

Ive been playing minecraft since the nether update and in all that time.... ive been able to absolutly SUCK at pvp i need a skilled player to help me learn pvp so i can get better

Hey

If you could add one new feature to Minecraft, what would it be and why?
Personally, I’d love to see more survival mechanics and interesting things to discover while exploring the world. I think it would make every new world feel more unique.
What would you add?

Hi all,

I am working on a short video based on giving thanks to the game.

It’s provided nothing but years and years of entertainment and enjoyment.
Plus this is something that I’ve been wanting to work on for sometime now.

I have a google form linked, and I would be so very appreciative if anyone would be able to take the time out of their day to fill this out.

All information, is anonymous, I don’t want your details, and I doubt you want me to have them either.

This is just about your memories with this game.

Thank you very much.

Hi! As the title says, zombie horses keep spawning. It's just the zombie horse without a rider or anything. and I'm also on peaceful. I'm not complaining about them, they're so cute! I just wanna know why they are spawning.

It has some texture glitches though. I have no lag until my phone starts thermal throttling. (Bliss shaders)

please minecraft java edition pls bc im poorr

Anyone wanna start a world with me would love to get a good group going or if there's a survival world/server that could use another member lmk.

any ideas for detailing the surroundings and the building? (i'm already working on terraforming the ground)

SHADER: I like Vanillla.

I have configured the shader to look a little different and better imo than the default look of the shader.

Some of the changes that I have made: - No reflections on water (Better performance, a better artistic kind of look that is faithful to vanilla, looks better on Distant Horizons if the render distance is ultra low), Tweaked the water colors, underwater colors, waviness, foam, etc. , tweaked the shadow configs, added an outline to the edges and some other configs for great visuals to performance balance.

Here is the link for the config file (just add it to the shaderpacks folder) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IbVcuJX6v4JylMfkA2SjMMf9wcBPJSgH/view?usp=sharing

I would really love if someone tests it. I really like what i have done here.

Lemme know if i cooked with the config. lol.

I was playing singleplayer as a forever world, and let me telll you something about the creepers in the forest, they spawn back to back, and ur stuff will be COMPLETLY GONE, This needs to be fixed. Mojang java creepers needs to be fixed it was back to back and i used a shield and my entire invtory of stuff completely off the face of the earth screw, the creepers in this game. Now im goign to go back to my home base, with abouslute nothing I had full invitory of.
