1.14.x Chunk Loading

Chunk loading operates differently in 1.14 than in previous Minecraft versions. This document is intended to be an overview of the 1.14 system.

In 1.14, chunk loading starts with tickets. A ticket is:

• a ticket type
• a load level
• optionally, a time-to-live

Moved to:

since people want to add features to it and no notification arrive from comments on gist.

$ wget -e robots=off -r -np 'http://example.com/folder/'

• -e robots=off causes it to ignore robots.txt for that domain
• -r makes it recursive
• -np = no parents, so it doesn't follow links up to the parent folder

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Marsaglia-polar.js

This script generates random numbers along a Normal or Log-normal distribution using the Marsaglia polar method.

There are four functions you can use:

• normalRandom: Generate random numbers that follow a Normal distribution.
• normalRandomInRange: Generate random numbers that follow a Normal distribution but are clipped to fit within a range
• normalRandomScaled: Generate random numbers that follow a Normal distribution with a given mean and standard deviation
• lnRandomScaled: Generate random numbers that follow a Log-normal distribution with a given geometric mean and geometric standard deviation
