Assuming the cows are causing a lot of lag, so he's upset that he can't clear them out and play the game

The obvious solution then is just using a command to kill the cows.. and probably tell the other kid not to do that again x3

I remember when alpha 1.8 was released and mobs would drop enchanting XP as multiple orbs worth one point each. It was fine for cows, but killing even a moderately high level player would drop thousands of orbs and basically implode reality in a radius of several chunks. Good times.

Real x3.. I still sometimes go back and replay the old versions of minecraft, and there's a lot of interesting stuff to them that I had forgotten

This is an opportunity to teach them about the command line, so they can use their powers for revenge.

80 cows? Ha! How about 8,000 cows!

I read that in the cadence of "500 cigarettes" from the orville

Make a pen outside the house, cut a hole in the house to let the cows out, free farm.

Assuming they're playing on a device that can handle 80 cows yes :3

If they're playing bedrock on a tablet or something it may need to be downscaled a bit

Ohhh, I thought the obvious solution was to just keep throwing more server resources at it in Proxmox LMAO

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago

That too haha x3

I mean.. it's little kids so I was just sorta assuming minecraft bedrock over LAN.. if we're doing proper server stuff and you have the resources to throw around that'd also fix the issue.. though they'd still have to clear the cows manually, so depends on what point in the game they are, an enchanted diamond sword is way less of a hassle than a stone one y'know? :3
