  • Again, Mojang has zero control over what websites host. And the British government has zero control over what websites host in other countries.

    Yes the government can try to block access to certain websites, but as you’ve started, a VPN is an easy way to get around that.

    But also if you think Minecraft mods are high up on the government’s radar, you’re not really thinking clearly.

    Like, think it through… If I have a website that runs on server in Switzerland, serving a Minecraft mod, how the hell would Mojang know about it? How the hell are they gonna stop me? They can’t and they would be foolish to try. The British government can’t shut it down, they have no jurisdiction. Any attempts to try and block the UK population from accessing it would be thwarted by a VPN.

    So while I agree the age verification stuff is stupid. You’re assuming it will prevent you from being able to use commands (highly unlikely), and your assuming Mojang will somehow take down websites they have no control over to prevent mods from changing this? And you’re also assuming the UK governments will care enough about Minecraft mods to block access to mod websites?

    You’re making a lot of assumptions and literally none of them make any sense


  • I’m talking about mods that could allow running commands. Please re-read this comment chain.

    Mods hosted on websites not based in the UK cannot be taken down by the UK government.

    So yes, people in the UK have to abide by the age verification ( if they want social features, so you do have a choice). But people in the UK can also download and install any mod they want.

    Age verification sucks, but at this point in time all we know is that it will be required for social features. Running commands, which seems to be your main concern, is not a social feature







  • I don’t think snacking and overeating have to go hand in hand. You can snack without overeating - if you know you’re a big snacker, try having smaller portions at meal time to compensate for it.

    Replace snacking with drinking water or chewing on ice cubes. It’s the same stimuli, and it’s healthy.

    Celery sticks/carrot sticks are good, healthy and give you something to bite into that isn’t ice. 1 carrot gives you probably 20 carrot sticks, which would probably get you through a movie. And I wouldn’t be concerned about 1 carrots worth of extra calories a day.

    Or a charcuterie board, not as healthy as above but at least it’s not full of sugar. Having some crackers with hummus, and some cornichons is a relatively healthy snack, maybe some cherry tomatoes and prosciutto, and a little bit of cheese to go with it although that’s getting into meal territory - but I found that if I’m having a charcuterie board for dinner, you can drag it out, eat it over a couple hours, slowing down your intake and satisfying your craving for snacking without it being in addition to a meal - it is the meal.

    Lastly, if you only snack when you’re bored, don’t get bored (lol easier said than done). I find that I love a project and when I’m working on a project time flies and I haven’t eaten anything because I’ve been busy.
