How to spawn Herobrine in Minecraft (with mods)

Herobrine is a character in Minecraft that players can summon using external modifications, as the game does not support his appearance natively. The Lunar Eclipse Studios’ From The Fog Mod is a popular option for the Java version of Minecraft. To install the mod, players must ensure they are using version 1.20.5 (or 1.20.6) of the game, download the datapack, and follow a series of steps to activate it in-game. Once installed, Herobrine will appear within three in-game days. Players can also build traditional Herobrine shrines to expedite his appearance, requiring specific materials: 1. First shrine: - 2 Blocks of Gold - 2 Netherrack 2. Second shrine: - 9 Blocks of Gold - 1 Netherrack - 4 Redstone Torches Players can gather these materials by mining or crafting: - Blocks of Gold are crafted from 9 Gold Ingots, which are obtained from Nether Gold Ore. - Redstone Torches are made from 1 stick and 1 Redstone Dust. Players can also use commands to switch to Creative Mode for easier material acquisition.

This Windows 11 update broke a plane in GTA San Andreas…20 years later

After the Windows 11 version 24H2 update on October 1, 2024, players reported that the Skimmer seaplane in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas disappeared from its usual spawn location and could not be spawned using mods, leading to game crashes. Silent, the creator of SilentPatch, investigated the issue and found that the game froze due to a bug in the CPlane::PreRender function, which was caused by a missing configuration in the vehicles.ide file. This bug had remained hidden for two decades and was triggered by changes in the Windows update. Silent confirmed that the issue would be fixed in the next update of SilentPatch.
