No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I haven't played chess in a loong time but when it comes to crushing my soul I doubt it would beat Minecraft when you spend 3 hours on a trip across the whole map, collecting tons of resources (many of them for the first time) only to be blown by creeper somewhere in a the crevice of a deep cave.
If you have a backup map copy, vaguely know where the cave was and its layout, and if are fast you can theoretically go back and pick up your things. So you do it and keep running around looking for the cave, then run inside, start looking for the pile of items but can't find it. Although in this cave you were rather meticulous with torches (yeah it is unfair!) so it's not crawling with zombies and you sort of know your way around, you don't really remember 100% where you met the creeper. After all of this was because of a moment of absent-mindedness. The only way you can really tell is by the pile of items scattered around. But if they've already de-spawned you would not know for sure, and could be running around passing the spot several times.
So over time, the feeling slowly sinks in: if they already de-spawned you might just be running in circles.
I don't think I've ever played a game that managed to pull the band-aid so slowly.
I don't fuck around with that kind of shit anymore. I always pick 'keep inventory items upon death' option. That way, the only thing I just lose out on, is where the hell I was if I wasn't keeping track of coordinates.
Coordinates are the least cheaty way of trying to combat that. Whenever I play I always have the coordinates on screen somewhere, whether through the newer Java debug info, a local resource pack or, in the case of servers, a client-side mod. Bedrock has a coords option somewhere too.
Knowing the coords of where you died doesn't 100% guarantee getting back to your stuff in a timely manner, but it does give you a slightly better chance.
Half the trick is knowing that as long as those chunks aren't loaded, the despawn timer isn't ticking, so you have all the time in the world to gear up to go back. And you might need to gear up for a fight if mobs steal your old gear.
... but none of this is a cure for lava. I lost a horse to lava once. That was horrible.
Lava is horrible but at least it's fast and often you don't need to ponder if or how you should come back, you can just go straight to mourning (your precious diamonds). Poor horse, though. 😢
Not fast enough. Horses take a while to die in lava and they don't make pleasant noises while it's happening.
