This appears to be about the spelling of "snort" instead of "snout". "sherd" vs "shard" is not mentioned, so I think this should be re-opened.
Requesting the wording of "@unknown was removed as reporter because they added an official-looking notice without consent from bug tracker staff. If they want to add anything to the bug report they can still comment and we will add it to the bug report if appropriate." in the pinned comment to be updated.
It heavily comes off that the current banner is not official, I am just now learning that there was a different banner (that was not official looking at all IMO) that was added, and then subsequently removed. The wording of this phrase makes it sound like the currently displayed notice is unofficial, when it in fact is official. I suggest this comment's wording be updated to clarify this is referring to a banner that was removed and is no longer exist, and is NOT about the current red banner that is visible on the issue.
Given the recent attempt at quietly adding a reporting system, I am starting to think Mojang is just pushing back the deadline on this simple fix to keep us quiet. Surely there's no way they'd want these ancient versions to be fixed when they want even more authentication on new versions...
While the end of summer is still a fair bit away, I'd like to quickly inquire if this is planned for later this summer, the end, or soon?
Server owners only run cracked Beta servers because they have no choice. If there was any official auth it would force their players to buy the game.
I would say it takes more effort to put up this ruse or even make these fake plans to show us than just... adding the redirect to the launcher. I'm sure even that Mr. Unpaid Intern could do it.
And just like that, I have lost faith in Mojang's truthfulness about this. For a moment I believed it was actually going to be changed thanks to a community effort, but I believe now the deadline was just to silence the active discussion and keep old versions abandoned.
I would be more than happy to be proven wrong.
Is this still going to happen? We have reached the projected deadline. Any updates?
If even. I am starting to think these previous developer comments were lies.
Very well put. This would be a mutually beneficial fix for Mojang and us.
I agree. If no changes are actually planned, why do we have to be left in the dark speculating if anything is actually planned contrary to the "Work planned" comment? I mean, you can say that, but then proceeding to say literally nothing else, no updates on priority, nothing makes us think that was simply a lie.
Why should we be left guessing? Is communication not a priority especially when this could potentially bring in new customers for your brand AND satisfy some existing ones? The suggested changes are mutually benificial on both sides, so if they aren't planned why is there basically no communication?
They indeed are different. Ones on outposts show their banner patterns while ones dropped by captains havw it hidden.
Is it a coincidence that your idea is exactly like what I had in mind or did you see my Reddit post?
It works with un-dyed candles too.
Thank you so much to Mojang for fixing this!!!
Thank you for coming through, I haven't been able to test in a very long time.
Hello Chandler. I see you have edited my ticket. Did the bug change, last time I checked it was offhand only.
What do you mean? I thought these servers were permanently offline.
Thank you for posting. Due to moving process I recently haven't been able to post updates.
If there's no ETA I doubt they even knowif they'd have any other plans.
The launcher should’ve updated from 8u51 years ago anyways… Mojang, just use 8u461, why was it never updated anyways!?
