joycons for steam - Lemmy.world

Controllers with paddles? - Lemmy.world

It seems like ring finger paddle buttons are becoming a controller staple. I know of these, what are some others? Remap to an existing button only: - 8BitDo Pro 2 (P1, P2) - PS4/PS5 controller with remap kit from ExtremeRate (K1, K2, K3, K4) Treated by Steam as an entirely new button: - Paired joy-cons (left SL, SR; right SL, SR) - Steam Deck (L4, L5, R4, R5) - Xbox Elite (P1, P2, P3, P4) - Dualsense Edge (LB, RB) I use a modded PS5 controller on PC. I’ve found for most purposes, clone-binding R4 to Cross/A and L5 to Square/X is good enough, as that allows me to crouch and jump while also running and turning with the thumbsticks. But it’d be really cool if I could remap these buttons steam-side, instead of needing to clone an existing button controller-side.

[Request] Server-side plugin that prevents mobs spawning above ground at night but allows mobs to spawn in caves? - Lemmy.world

Ideally I would like a spigot plugin that makes the game pretend it’s “daytime” for the purpose of mob spawns, even at night. If this isn’t possible, I would also settle for a fabric mod that disables hostile spawns above sea level. Does this exist? My use case is a “semi-peaceful” server; I want to make sure it’s always safe to explore the surface so that players don’t get ambushed by mobs when logging in at night, but I don’t want to completely remove hostile spawns because it would make some items and blocks unobtainable. I suppose a worst-case-scenario option would be to set the server to Peaceful mode and add crafting recipes for the missing mob drops?

[Help] two handed split / VR controllers similar to joy-cons on nintendo switch, but for PC? - Lemmy.world

I honestly don’t care about VR headsets or full-body tracking right now, but I would love to have a controller that’s split into two pieces like the wiimote/nunchuck duo or the joy-cons. I know Steam can connect to actual joy-cons, but the bluetooth range on official joy-cons is pretty bad, and I haven’t had any luck getting third-party joy-cons to connect. Can anyone recommend me a controller? I’ve been looking at the HTC Vive controller, does that do what I want? My most played games are PlateUp, Stardew Valley, and Minecraft.

Fabric alternative to Spigot "Dispenser Robots"? - Lemmy.world

the DispenserRobots [https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/dispenserrobot.97341/] plugin has a really neat take on server-only automation. Dispensers can break blocks, but they require a timed pulse, at least as long as a player would have to click. So a wooden tool requires a longer pulse than an iron one, for instance. This “timed pulse” trick also means that you can have axes both strip logs and break logs, depending on whether they receive a short or a long pulse. I’m currently building a Fabric + Geyser setup (so server-side mods only), and I’m wondering if there’s anything remotely like this in the fabric ecosystem.

klay’s simple cookbook for Linux, v0.9.0 - Lemmy.world

Updated my self-hosting tutorial based on suggestions from last time [https://lemmy.world/post/1740386]. The biggest change is the new chapter on network security. If anyone out there is a security nerd I’d love your feedback! I tried to strike a balance between playing it safe and getting something into production.

klay's beginner-friendly self-host cookbook, v0.5.1 - Lemmy.world

I’m writing my own novice guide to setting up a home server, the stuff I wish I’d been told when I started. Would love feedback from beginners on how useful this is, as well as feedback from veteran self-hosters on how accurate this is, and I welcome suggestions from anyone about what I should add next.
