If you're going fast enough in your Elytra, if you hit a solid block an explosion effect will trigger proportional to your speed. It could just affect mobs and non-stone blocks.

I don't know if it's in the game already, but this would be a nice thing to have.

This would change the way block and entity motion works. Essentially, through heating water with fire, or operating a Piston, opening a door, etc, you generate Force in a direction. You can then use various new blocks called Engines to transfer, transform, and move Force to new areas to do new things. For example, you would place a wheel on top of a block, and push the block with a Piston, and the wheel would change the Force from linear to radial. Or you could apply radial force to a wheel, which would in turn change that force to linear force allowing the wheel to move.

Force would be spread out in a radius like an effect.

This mechanic could be used for mechanical items and machines, li

I've been wanting to try out new window managers, and I am willing to forgo titlebars, but I am a fervent believer in window decorations. Because of this, I'd like to know if any utilities exist to add windows to all clients relative to said clients' positions. It would drastically increase customization possibilities even on more restrictive WMs, and create theme portability. Does any such thing currently exist?

I have had this idea brewing for a more modular X11 or Arcan desktop that would not be possible with Wayland. Essentially, the desktop would be as separated as possible. Replacing panels would be movable tile layers for full applications. Desktop icons would work in a similar way. The final piece of the puzzle is something I've just wanted to see in wm world in general: window decoration would be a separate utility from the window manager, serving only to draw additional windows in positions relative to other client windows.

This solution to decoration would help make themes portable, allow less experienced users to get used to window managers, and increase the customization possibilities o

Every time I hear of some new distro, half the time they just slapped on a new theme out of the box, or added a set of preinstalled packages which I could install anyway. Either that or they completely remade something that does the same thing as everything else, with no real benefit to it.

I was wondering if anyone here knew of a distro that does something completely different from the others. Distros like Qubes, Bedrock, or GoboLinux come to mind as examples. I'd like to explore the variety, but I'd like to actually have a point to doing that. Any ideas?
