One of the things I love about #NodeCore is that, despite being conceptually in the #Infiniminer / #Minecraft genre, it has a very original and quirky take on it. This also reflects on a number of details down to the level of semantics —and that's where my love turns into hate when I want to translate it.
I was watching Joel Vinesauce stream that Ikea SCP game and he commented "oh it's Minecraft" half-jokingly when he found you break down random furniture for supplies.
Rewatching I realized the game really IS minecraft from a game design point. You mine, you craft, but the health meter also only refills over time, based on your food just like minecraft.
It's also infinitely generated and has a bed that regens health (as it used to in MC)
Tonight we go visit the Minecraft server of our very excellent @FusionWarrior , earned through years of support and more recently being among the top donors of our recent charity stream where we raised more than 1000€ for the German food bank!
Did you know Minecraft is celebrating its 15th anniversary? This day 15 years ago a first public version of Minecraft got released - Java Edition Classic 0.0.11a 🎉 🎂
Before you get dumbstruck by how old this game is now, and how we all are getting older with it, you can read a wiki page on anniversary celebrations: https://minecraft.wiki/w/15th_Anniversary
(it's also perfect time to buy Minecraft at 50% discounted price)
Minecraft wird heute 15 Jahre alt und wir haben es immer noch nicht geschafft, das ZDF-Sendegebäude nachzubauen. Vielleicht, weil's ein Rundbau ist ...
Join Sharkey dot Org has been OFFLINE for over 2 months. The reason given was hosting issues, and this was before the whole Hetzner drama. Join Sharkey dot Org is supposed to be the gateway for people to learn about Sharkey and how they can join.
The Documentation Page (Wiki) is still up, using the subdomain, Doc dot Join Sharkey dot Org, but the URLs are broken. I have repeatedly reported the broken URLs for over 2 months (both in the Git and on their Discord Server). No one seems to want to address that.
They have a private copy of GitLab located at ActivityPub dot Software, that you cannot find via a search looking for Sharkey (DuckDuckGo, Bing, Google). That is where you can report code changes and fixes, but you would likely not know that unless you stumbled upon the URL somewhere (or someone gave you that URL).
Sharkey raised a lot of money so they can host their own content, safely, and securely. They now own their own physical server and lease the space to have that server housed (hosted) remotely. And while the lead developer promotes that server partially as a minecraft server, Join Sharkey dot Org still remains, OFFLINE.
I have pulled funding from Sharkey and will not be supporting it further until they get their act together. It is a good software, and it is my preferred method to use the Fediverse, but you would assume they would want their website working.

What can I use to make a simple #map from a list of coordinates?
I have a #Minecraft world that I've been working on for a while. I've built a network of secured routes between nether portals and I'd like to make a sort of tube map of them. I've done it on paper previously, but I don't want to redraw the whole thing every time it outgrows the page.
It doesn't need to be fancy or pretty. I just want to stick the place names and coordinates in and get a plot / chart / map out for reference.
