Stoked about that change! Will be great for the Java mod scene. But yeah, totally unrelated.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Can’t share anything now, but I think we’ll share more about our thoughts on version numbers in the next year or so. No promises, but there are conversations happening.

Excited about this! Always wanted more customization of the Xbox Home Screen UI. These are nice quality of life changes.

Right, that should be working as of yesterday. Give it a try again. I confirmed Actions and Stuff x32 kept the animations but used vanilla textures. Previously it would always default back to x16 which used the A&S textures.

You mean the subpack slider? x16, x32, etc? That is working as of yesterday!

We’re taking a look specifically at A&S, because yes it’s not working as intended still. Had it working in our test environment, but something isn’t working. We’ll get it sorted so it works properly!
010
Dylan @dlonking.bsky.social · 10/05/2025
Taking a look at it. I am seeing the same thing with A&S but other packs with sub packs are working. We’ll get it working properly.
010
Dylan @dlonking.bsky.social · 09/05/2025
At a high level it was: - update client to send subpack ID to service - update service to read ID and save it - use ID when starting up the server and applying the pack Lots of detail in between though. The delay fixing really boils down to prioritization though. We only have so much time 😢
121
Dylan @dlonking.bsky.social · 09/05/2025
Yes! So many packs that will benefit from this!! I’ve wanted to get it fixed for a while. Just hard to fit it in among other commitments and priorities.

Dylan @dlonking.bsky.social · 09/05/2025
Yeah I’m sorry cause that was me responding on Jira back in August 🫣 We did have someone on our client team take a look at it around the time that I posted it, but we found that the issue also required a service side fix and our service team had been at capacity until just recently.

Surprise Realms service side fix today -- resource pack subpacks can now be adjusted on Realms! Really happy to get this long-standing issue fixed: report.bugs.mojang.com/servicedesk/... Just in time Actions & Stuff being added to the Marketplace Pass catalog which comes with Realms Plus!

In today's 1.21.80 update, Realms will show you the server region when joining. Using the new Advanced Realms settings, you can change the region for your Realm to improve ping times 😎 Server region support is also coming in the next Java update 😀 www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl...
A Minecraft Realms loading screen showing the loading tip, "A Realm is always online, so you and your friends can play here whenever you want." Underneath the loading tip, it says, "Server region: Washington, USA" with a three bars signal icon.

Moving to Azure definitely helped this, but it also took a big refactor of some of the legacy pieces of our codebase. Before all our region assignment was hardcoded so adding a new region required touching a lot of code all over the place. Now it is all dynamic so we can add new regions quickly! 💪🏼

Happy Monday! Want to know about how Realms hosts your server? I helped write a handy-dandy article that dives into the nitty-gritty of Realms server hosting and the improvements we have made recently. Take a read and feel free to ask me questions! www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl...

Like Shadeur is very talented, and from a purely on the field standpoint he is better than others already taken… But he isn’t leagues better. I feel like he is acting like he is the second coming of Brady or Burrow with how he approached pre-draft workouts and interviews.

Dylan @dlonking.bsky.social · 26/04/2025
I honestly think teams may just want to avoid the drama/narrative at QB They don’t want his dad criticizing coaching decisions if things don’t go well, or publicly asking to be his coach Also what message does it send if you don’t do any of the pre draft workouts and don’t interview some teams?

There's a new tabbed Realms UI in today's Java Snapshot, along with the ability to select where you'd like your Realm to be hosted: close to the first player to join, close to the owner, or in a specific region. Low pings make Minecraft more fun 😄
A new Realms UI with a translucent skybox of the latest update behind the buttons. Tabs along the top of the screen include "Worlds", "Players", "Subscription", and "Settings"

Java Realms got an upgrade today in Snapshots! Select your Realm's region preference -- the best for the owner, the best for the first to join in a session, or a specific region. Also already available in Preview/Beta on Bedrock! www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl...
