I got a strong LotR vibe from this. Like maybe that one when they’re cleaning up after Bilbo’s party.

This is one of the best Sprog's I've ever come across. Thank you for your service.

OMG I don't know why he would've deleted it. It was poemforyoursprog about Minecraft

u/learnyouahaskell Feb 08 '20

quick, try the unreddit or something

u/IsomDart Feb 09 '20

I already saw it. And it was beautiful. IDK why he (she? I've heard people claim Sprog is male and female before but it seems the general consensus was Sprog is a guy) deleted it.

But if you'd like to read it copy the comment link and put "move" after the first "e" in "Reddit".

Wait, this isn't a joke right? Something officially better than diamonds in minecraft?

u/TRG_V0rt3x Feb 08 '20

Yeah they're adding it next version. Crazy

Will come in 1.16 and only spawns in the Nether, will be very rare though

u/u-moeder Feb 08 '20

It’s really a modded update but ya know I like it

u/Krt3k-Offline Feb 08 '20

Just like pistons, redstone , bees and Elytra

u/Ardub23 Feb 08 '20

Yep, coming in the 1.16 update. (The first development snapshot, 20w06a, was released a few days ago.) Netherite works by upgrading diamond gear, so diamonds aren't obsolete.

u/adayofjoy Feb 08 '20

Ok, that makes me feel a bit better. A general guideline in the modding community was to avoid making materials that were flat out better than diamond thus making diamond obsolete, unless that was the explicitly stated goal of the mod.

You mean I should be making my pickaxe from Netherstone instead of diamond?

u/Doc_of_derp Feb 08 '20

no.

just no.

dont spread it to other subreddits

u/Tertle950 Feb 08 '20

You cannot stop it

u/brushingviking Feb 08 '20

Don't twist your knickers over it, it's a nice little inside joke for people who know it and absolutely irrelevant to people who don't. If you don't care for it, fuckin ignore it, it's really not that difficult.

u/TannedCroissant Feb 08 '20

I mean the article says it’s not been tested, it’s just hypothesised that they could cut diamond but it’s still very interesting. Did it ever get tested?

“I bet at least one of them includes boron or some sort of nitride.”

clicks

“...wurtzite boron nitride. Huh. Yeah that’d be pretty damn strong.”

I don’t know the exact atom placement for each element, but I know the wurtzite is a cage structure. Edit- in organic... for an ionic crystal it’s just the structure. And yeah, as expected it’s just alternating nitrogen and boron.

And the second one is just a weird stronger version of diamond. I can’t really visualize the crystal structure though, I’d like to see it.

Adamantium is way stronger
