I was going to go with wisehosting.com after Mumbo Jumbo promoted them with an ad in one of his videos but apparently they're in Estonia and my bank doesnt do business with that country.

I've never had a server in MC before, primarily playing solo but have been going on my friend's realm the past couple months and really enjoying it. My complaint mainly is that realms limits render distance to like 16 or so and I'd like to crank it up to 32 as long as client side lag isn't too bad, and I've been told servers don't have the same cap on render distance as realms. We do like to build largeish amateur xp farms and regular redstone contraptions but shouldn't need something huge that can run Minecraft-in-Minecraft or anything like that.

So yeah, nothing fancy, no mods. Maybe 10 total players most we've ever had online at once was 5. What options are popular and known, inexpensive and reasonably reliable? Figured I'd ask on here rather than troll through old redd*t threads looking for people promoting server hosting. Thanks!

Regardless of how you feel about AI, a lot of people have been posting videos about this so you might be interested in seeing it.

Worked on desktop on Chrome, some phones might run it but mine didn't.

These source water blocks all came from some flowing water from the top of the staircase.

I'm playing the Fabulously Optimized modpack (version 6.4.0-alpha.2).

Edit: this bug is even weirder than I thought. The water flow and source blocks change based on where I am. In the following video, as I go down the stairs, the water spreads. I make a hole to breathe, and as I go away, the hole gets filled in. When I go back to the hole, the source blocks expand and I need to dig up to breathe. https://youtu.be/PLsbvyL0rH4

Edit 2: annoyingly, I wasn't able to reproduce this issue in a new world in 1.21.3 Vanilla or Fabulously Optimized.

This week's Bedrock Preview introduces Resin and Eyeblossoms to the Pale Garden!

Resin drops from creaking hearts, but can also be placed on blocks. It can be used to craft bricks and decorative blocks, and also as armor trim material!

Eyeblossoms are closed during the day, but open up at night-time, with a glowing and eye-like appearance.

this is probably a bug due to my world being created in 1.16, but this terrain being generated in 1.21. i used an ocean explorer map to find the monument, and that map was also created in 1.16.

even the map doesn't line up! i'm guessing it follows what the terrain would've looked like in 1.16?

The article is in German, but here's a section machine-translated into English

We look at what players want and what we've changed recently. If we added new types of caves and forests to the game last year, it will be about other things for now, such as the combat system. In this way, we want to ensure that there is something for everyone in "Minecraft". We also try to add things that solve a problem in the game.

Apparently they did this to the IOS version a few weeks ago and here we are, doing it on android too. "Play with friends".
