Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

A: Shaders incorrectly render lower parts of vertically extended worlds The reason for this is because the bedrock layer is hardcoded into the shader packs. There's a uniform for exposing the data pack specified bedrock level in Iris. This is not available in Optifine. The best option is to reach out to the shader developer, and ask for them to update their shader... (more) |

Bringing proposed communities with X amount of backing to the dashboard and Codidact.com website is actually a good suggestion. Add a new section on the bottom. I'll post a feature request for it on Meta. :) (more) |

Yeah, I think you should revisit this post in light of your suggestion under my post on PU: [Turning a Samsung smart screen into a dumb computer monitor](https://powerusers.codidact.com/posts/292284)

Prevent offhand item from being used when selecting an area In darker spaces, I often hold a light source block in the offhand to light up the area around me, such that I can see properly. However, when I use the wooden axe to select pos2 of a working area, this offhand item is used in addition to the selection, resulting in the light source being placed down... (more) |

Ah. I've also been to electronics stores for testing, but they have only a limited set of keyboards and mice at display, and the majority of them are just the generally cheap stuff, so trash quality, there. Only the online stores have K100 Air, and they're quite expensive, so I'm not able to test it.... (more) |

I may be going a bit off the rails here, but this is the _shopping_ community proposal. I don't have a lot of experience using different keyboards, but I know one thing for sure: I absolutely cannot stand thick keyboards. I _must_ have a flat one. I recently switched from a game-playing laptop to a d... (more) |

| Question | — |
Shaders incorrectly render lower parts of vertically extended worlds I have an older Minecraft world first created almost a decade ago, as a superflat desert world. In MC 1.18 or 1.19, I increased the world height with a simple data pack to y ∈ [-256, 1024]. Unfortunately, shaders don't render like I would expect them to. Most shaders incorrectly render the world when... (more) |

| Question | — |
Do datapacks have to list every single attribute of a type? When modifying the configuration of a type in Minecraft with datapacks, does the datapack have to override every single attribute of that type, or will Minecraft use the defaults of a type if they are not specified in the datapack? For instance, I want to override two or three properties of the Mi... (more) |

A: How to change weapon aiming mode Use the keybinding for "Camera 1p/3p toggle to change the aiming mode. The default is `C`. Due to the name, it can be somewhat easy to miss, especially because it doesn't mention the long press function. A short press switches between positioning the camera on the left or right side in third perso... (more) |

Point is, the fewer communities we have, the easier it is to involve oneself in the ones that already exist, and the easier it is to get experts into the communities where they are useful. Adding overlap fragments the userbase. (more) |

Because those two communities fully encompass the topics, I don’t think such an Android community should exist at all. It’s not healthy to split up the communities like this, as it makes it harder to structure a knowledge repository.
Anyway, thanks, @#61308, that might be where the idea comes fro... (more) |

It would be very unnatural for me to ask in English, when I’m looking for the Norwegian word. I’d probably prefer asking on a Norwegian forum instead. But if it had been on a language site, it would feel much less awkward to be asking in English.
In addition, the chance of somebody having an answer... (more) |

I am wondering, though... if I was to ask this question, I'd be asking for the Norwegian word. If this Q/A site is of use to people in English speaking countries, it certainly should be to me as well, right? I should be able to ask the same question but for my own language, right? But, how would I do... (more) |

I don't think this is a good question for an international home improvement site. It's too localized, and not universal enough. In addition, is it really about home improvement? Is it not about the English language? Maybe this question would be much better in a language community? (more) |

Well, I’m still not fully convinced a dedicated site is the right choice (I’m not a fan of excessive fragmentation). But, I agree, go ahead and post incubator Q/A for the site.

That’s reasonable, though. Might not need a category to begin with. A community wiki Q/A may suffice while the needs of such a category are laid out. A «resources» category, perhaps, which can also hold other resources. (more) |
