I recall reading a review of this when it came out (or thereabouts) that was even more scathing (although for quitw differnt reasons).

Help/JavaEdition what mod breaks the skin? 1.7.10

history

The file preview on google drive is broken so can't see a list of mods (which mightn't help as I'm not much of a mod maven).

From looking at the IMGUR pic it looks like the skin.png is not the expected resolution... at a guess whatever mod is doing this is expecting a higher resolution skin than it is finding…

Try doubling the size [dimensions] of the png file for the skin (it won't look good, but will at least let you know if that is, indeed, the issue).

Discussions/General A Question on the Smell of Permanent Markers

Technically poisonous. The great majority of [non-water based] markers use either ethanol [grain or dinking alcohol] or methanol ['wood' alcohol] as the main solvents with a few using acetone [nail polish remover] and a very few something more esoteric.

All of these are poisonous in quantity (but so are table salt, nitrogen, and oxygen); provided you aren't deliberatly trying to inhale the fumes it's most unlikely you have anything to worry about. [Assumes you have no peculiar medical conditions as there are a few things that can make specific individuals quite sensitive.]

It's being done; whther SCOTUS would consider such laws constitutional is something of an open question, but it requires the right test case, several years, and beaucoup $$ to even try to ask the question…

IDs to buy permanent markers (and spray paint & dry ice & etc & etc) are becoming more common as the political class tries to Do Something™ about whatever the current cause de jour happens to be… concern about logic and/or the Constitution be damned.

Happy Delurking day 👋

no ability to select multiple options:
Skins / Mobs Skins / some minor excursions into texture and datapacks (in process in learning, but the 1.21 rework has pitched a spanner into the works)

history

First looked at the game because some of the family youngsters were clamoring to get it… then found it was like an unlimited set of Lego [yes, I'm enough of a grammar nazi to have looked up the correct plural] on which one would never step.(Younger members ask your parents to explain why that is so attractive.) with extras {Notably redstone, although I'm too old to have had my own sets with Mindstorm or it's simple mechanized predicessors.}

100 zombie sized chickens would still do 0 hps and would offer far more XP (plus other drops)

Prior to being nerfed, dropping a dragon egg in a lazy chunk would break bedrock. This was the simplest way of doing so and often the reason for mass duplication the egg as it made clearing the top four layers of bedrock inside a spawnproofed perimeter a reasonable (if still quite daunting) project.
[Or the 0-layer as well, although this would lose an egg for each location cleared, but allowed the most efficient spawning in farms.]

no image referenced, but the original cartoon version was very 😒 …unusual… in it's 'fashion' (also in the depicted body mods); the movie was not just weak sauce, but tepid tapwater by comparison.

Getting past the 'odd' visuals, the original had some evry interestingly self recursive plot lines as well as a milieu that seemed similar to an all human version of The Dosadi Experiment
