Explain like I’m 5, what is a memory leak in the context of java and minecraft? How does it happen? What are the effects?

As the noscript states, I’m new to modding and java, and I can’t figure out what a memory leak is. I don’t suspect I have one, I’m just very curious and I’m someone who’s hungry for knowledge, Many thanks!:)

I've built the multiblock according to the guide, checked it 10 times and did it over a few times as well, says "structure incomplete". Am I missing something obvious? Primitive water pump on gregtech community pack modern

Why is it so hard to find/make a good RPG modpack?

Just getting into mods but they've been around for so long and seem prominent on yt and stuff that I thought they would be in a better space. Ive only played 2 so far but Ive reaserched many, watched videos and looked at reviews and comments and most of them seem to have a mostly negative perception. Just random stuff thrown together with little to no cohesiveness, poor progression, horrible balance where youre either surrounded by OP mobs or you one shot everything etc. Even on here theres like hundreds of posts with people searching for one thats actually good which is weird as a newcomer because I thought something like this would have massive interest and many high quality options but it seems there's so few. Theres countless great individual mods but doesnt seem to be any cohesive packs. Maybe theres just really good underground ones that are harder to find? Or Is it just insanely hard to make?

What has Minecraft been neglecting? Need suggestions!

Hey there! Before anything: disclaimer I do not look to advertise!!

So I've gotten experience making large scale Minecraft events. 1000 player civilization events, and ltm games within Minecraft.

I currently was thinking that personally I've fallen a bit out love with the game because of a lack of updates that felt meaningful to me. So I want to create my own "Minecraft update".

So I would really appreciate some suggestions and ideas of what has Minecraft been neglecting for a while. I'd love to hear boss, biome, dimensions, items, mobs etc… Anything that can come to your mind from either real life, existing mods etc…

My goal would be to create this all into a plugin or smt (not to be sold). But There's only so much 1 person can think of. So would love some help.

Go crazy with the ideas only thing try keep it "vanilla" in the sense of keeps the Minecraft feel even if its something crazy make it the Minecraft way.
