Conceived in a secure military facility, this Jedi Knight fansite has been running consistently for almost 30 years: ‘It looks really close to what it did back in 1998’

In the late 1990s, the internet saw a surge in websites, including those dedicated to PC gaming. The Massassi Temple, a website for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, was founded by Brian E. Lozier in early 1998. Lozier created the site to share tutorials and support fellow modders after discovering a community of modders while exploring other gaming websites. He learned programming to build the site, which has remained active due to the dedication of its community, despite challenges like the dotcom bubble burst and the failure of some games. The site hosts a vast collection of Jedi Knight content, including mods and multiplayer maps, and serves as a hub for ongoing support and development. Lozier has stepped away from the site multiple times but continues to return to ensure its survival. He aims to create a permanent archive of community contributions and reflects on the evolution of the internet and the shift toward corporate dominance.

How to Use WorldEdit in Minecraft Java and Bedrock

WorldEdit is a tool for Minecraft that has different requirements for Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. Users must select the correct version for their Minecraft edition. For Java Edition, WorldEdit can be downloaded from EngineHub or Modrinth, while Bedrock Edition requires a separate add-on. To install WorldEdit on Java Edition, users need to download the appropriate .jar file and place it in the server's plugins or mods folder, depending on the platform. Command access must be granted based on world or server settings, and users can select blocks for editing using various commands. Basic edits can be made using commands like //set, //replace, and //undo. For Bedrock Edition, users must download the add-on package, enable experimental features, and use semicolon commands for editing. The add-on also includes item shortcuts and management commands for access.
