- Move MC server
I used to host minecraft at a gameserver hosting service where you can easily click to select mods and so on.
I figured I can host it on a more powerful cloud vserver for cheaper if I can spare the hosting tools.
Can I just copy all the game files to a new server and run it with the same command, I think Java Software works that way right? It wouldn't care for libraries installed by the os, that correct? Both servers are Linux based, but the new one would be on ARM architecture - again, should be irrelevant thanks to Java right?
I'll give it a try, just wanted to see if anyone has tips on what to look out for.
I figured if I get proper startup and shutdown scripts setup I could even spin down the instance when I know nobody will be playing for a while and save some money. It would cost about 50 cents per month to have a separate persistent storage where the scripts could save to / recover from..
Any thoughts would be appreciated! Cheers
- Is it possible to update Forge and its mods? 1.19 --> 1.20
If all the mods available for version 1.19 are also available for version 1.20, is it possible to update the server while keeping data? If so, how?

- Easy shulker based update suppression 1.19/1.20

That's so cool, so if you're still on 1.19 you can use the compact update skipping (tutorial e.g. https://youtu.be/-VTuFla1cTs originally by NicNac I believe) to create the bugged shulker and assuming it survives the update have a super convenient way for update surpression in 1.20.
You could even move the surpresser around by repeating it, I mean the setup really isn't that big

- I love my bonemeal farm!
I've built a bonemeal farm for the first time, in the past I never really missed it or thought it would be worth it. It's actually amazing! I used a moss based design and it was cheap and easy to build. Right after I added a micro crop farm for farming wheat which gave me easy access to the mud bricks - what a cool building block! Afterwards I realized I can set up a quick flower farm for dying all the white wool I have left over. I'll try a tree farm next, let's see if it'll be another must-have farm for me!

- Microblock mods are underrated and underutilized.
Forge Microblocks (or Forge Multipart), and in later versions, Chisel and Bits are very useful mods for resource efficiency; they reduce the amount of air filled. Unfortunately I don't see many posts that highlight this usage.
A commonly cited example is glowstone nooks; microblocks' glowstone still produces light, so cutting glowstone into nooks increases the amount of effective glowstone for the same light that glowstone produces. (A bonus specific to environmine is that glowstone does not produce heat like torches.)
!A view of a wall of microblocks. !
In my Crash Landing world, I used Forge Microblocks to prevent tiny and giant spiders from climbing over the base wall. I used way less cobblestone than if I used only the cobblestone block
In my cactus farm; I used Microblocks to compactly automate the breaking of cactus.
!Cacti with cobblestone strips surrounding the air blocks above cacti.

I love microblock mods.
- CurseForge replaced legacy API (without any forewarning) with a blackboxed API that requires keys.
So that's why MultiMC removed CurseForge support (in commit
0a827ba70e6ef20187f8507a536d54a8441020dc
). (The commiter couldn't even bother to include the full explanation in the merge commit. This is why I hate GitHub.)So scummy of CurseForge. They're also trying to insert ads.^["As we supported Linux, we tried to technically look on how ad monetization would look like on Mac & Linux (something that we didn't yet have the bandwidth to do).", Old API deprecation, Linux and Standalone client FAQ]

- Downfall of Minecraft
Anybody else feel that minecraft slipped after Microsoft bought it. Before microsoft, every update felt like it added something of content, but now every update feels like its just added to make the game look better. Take the caves and cliffs update: those giant caves may look cool, but whats the fucking point? The mining experience is not really "supposed" to be this open. There was nothing wrong with the old caves, and now the new caves are not the same. I miss the pre 1.8 days of adding brand new mechanics like restone.
