The popularity of Minecraft mods has been credited for helping Minecraft become one of the best-selling video games of all time. The first Minecraft mods worked by decompiling and modifying the Java source code of the game. The original version of the game, now called Minecraft: Java Edition, is still modded this way, but with more advanced tools.
In computer graphics, a texture atlas (also called a spritesheet or an image sprite in 2D game development) is an image containing multiple smaller images, usually packed together to reduce overall dimensions. [1] An atlas can consist of uniformly-sized images or images of varying dimensions. [1]
Downspouts are usually vertical and usually extend down to ground level, although may be routed at an angle to avoid architectural features and may discharge onto an intermediate roof. At the bottom of downspout there are typically features to divert discharged water away from the building's foundations to prevent water damage.
In geology, texture or rock microstructure [1] refers to the relationship between the materials of which a rock is composed. [2] The broadest textural classes are crystalline (in which the components are intergrown and interlocking crystals), fragmental (in which there is an accumulation of fragments by some physical process), aphanitic (in which crystals are not visible to the unaided eye ...
Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock composed principally of the silicate minerals plagioclase feldspar (typically andesine), biotite, hornblende, and sometimes pyroxene.The chemical composition of diorite is intermediate, between that of mafic gabbro and felsic granite.
Amazonite, also known as amazonstone, [4] is a green tectosilicate mineral, a variety of the potassium feldspar called microcline. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Its chemical formula is KAlSi 3 O 8 , [ 1 ] [ 7 ] which is polymorphic to orthoclase .
A pyroclastic rock containing 25–75% volcanic bombs and/or volcanic blocks is called tuff breccia. [4] Tuff composed of sandy volcanic material can be referred to as volcanic sandstone. [5] Tuff is a relatively soft rock, so it has been used for construction since ancient times. [6]
Trachyte (/ ˈ t r eɪ k aɪ t, ˈ t r æ k-/) is an extrusive igneous rock composed mostly of alkali feldspar.It is usually light-colored and aphanitic (fine-grained), with minor amounts of mafic minerals, [1] and is formed by the rapid cooling of lava (or shallow intrusions) enriched with silica and alkali metals.
