So /tick is now available in vanilla. Well, most of it is. Obviously only one could exist at a time, meaning /tick from carpet is gone, so here is the gist... mhm... of what happened, what is covered, what is lost and what might not be lost forever. This is not a writeup from a Mojang developer, it's a writeup from a mod developer whose part of the mod just got obsolete by a gaming studio.

The good

/tick on its own, as a query command, is moved to vanilla /tick query providing much more information about the health of the game tick. Tick performance and tick targets are also now way better handled in F3 and especially F3+2 screens, but if you are not in singleplayer or run the server with your game, a better information directly from the server through /tick query may come in handy.

/tick rate now exists as a vanilla command. It is limited on the lower end to 1 tps (not 0.1 tps like in carpet) to get a more responsive chat (the only reason so far tbh), but due to improvements to h

What to evaluate and consider before adding usage of new third-party crates.

These are not exact requirements but questions to investigate and discuss to help reason around the health, safety, maintainability, and more around crates.

This can also be read as an opinionated guide for crate authors of what our (Embark's) guidelines and recommendations are, though should not be taken too literally.

A guide to ANSI on Discord

Discord is now slowly rolling out the ability to send colored messages within code blocks. It uses the ANSI color codes, so if you've tried to print colored text in your terminal or console with Python or other languages then it will be easy for you.

Quick Explanation

To be able to send a colored text, you need to use the ansi language for your code block and provide a prefix of this format before writing your text:

\u001b[{format};{color}m

\u001b is the unicode escape for ESCAPE/ESC, meant to be used in the source of your bot (see ). If you wish to send colored text without using your bot you need to copy the character from the website.

This is probably fine for most distros but I have not tested it.

Compiling the main app

Install the dependencies libopencv-dev and libopencv-contrib-dev with your package manager
sudo apt install libopencv-dev libopencv-contrib-dev

Get the source code:
git clone https://github.com/ju1ce/April-Tag-VR-FullBody-Tracker
cd April-Tag-VR-FullBody-Tracker
git checkout linux

Installing Windows and Linux into the same partition

But WHY?

There was a reddit post about installing Arch on NTFS3 partition. Since Windows and Linux doesn't have directories with same names under the /(C:\), I thought it's possible, and turned out it was actually possible.
If you are not familiar to Linux, for example you've searched on Google "how to dualboot Linux and Windos" or brbrbr... you mustn't try this. This is not practical.

Pre-requirements

• UEFI system
• Any Linux live-boot CD/DVD/USB... with Linux kernel newer than 5.15
• Windows installer USB

Blotter File Format - v7

The Blotter File Format, successor to the format known as ".tung files", is a system for storing the components and wires of a Logic World world. It is used for both full world saves as well as subassemblies, but there are slight differences between the two.

File types

• World files:
  • Represent a full, playable world space
  • May have zero or more root components at different positions/rotations in the world
• Use .logicworld file extension

Getting my Valve Index to run flawlessly on ArchLinux with i3wm

I've bought the Valve Index VR headset and wanted to play on Linux. I had done a lot of tinkering with my Linux Machine up to this point so quite a few things on the headset initially had issues working alright.

I have listed all of the problems I encountered on ArchLinux with Valve Index and Steam VR in this post and how I managed to solve nearly all of them.

When I first plugged in my headset, turned on the controllers and started

How to add more to Git Bash on Windows

Git for Windows comes bundled with the "Git Bash" terminal which is incredibly handy for unix-like commands on a windows machine. It is missing a few standard linux utilities, but it is easy to add ones that have a windows binary available.

The basic idea is that C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\ is your / directory according to Git Bash (note: depending on how you installed it, the directory might be different. from the start menu, right click on the Git Bash icon and open file location. It might be something like C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Git, the mingw64 in this directory is your root. Find it by using pwd -W). If you go to that directory, you will find the typical linux root folder structure (bin, etc, lib and so on).

If you are missing a utility, such as wget, track down a binary for windows and copy the files to the corresponding directories. Sometimes the windows binary have funny prefixes, so
