Mineverse Updates - May 22nd, 2020. Bunch of Skyblock updates. All of this has been added to improve performance along with getting the server up to date with our own custom plugin. This took quite awhile, thank you Matt for helping. Some of these features were long overdue and had to be implemented, such as the block values, which needed some blocks decreased/increased as users could for instance have an island consisted of only note blocks to have a high level or islands requiring limits on spawners & hoppers to decrease the amount of strain one single island could have on the entire server. Improvements to our SB plugin, code re-written or changed in order to load more efficiently. Organized the island types in the /newisland menu to be centered and neat. 'Loading...' message added when visiting an island. 'Locked' & 'Unlocked' color coded within the /sb menu to display what the lock status of your island is. Removed the sounds of pistons, other players, and piggy footsteps. If water isn't flowing or updated, it is ticked less. Disabled baby chickens following their parents, disabled chickens colliding too. Optimizations to parts of the SB plugin including trust and guest commands. Optimized the /sethome command, /setwelcome command, /sb, & /coop commands. Droppers will now slow down when containing items such as pork. Made login code within Spigot a tiny bit faster. Changes to lighting updates. Rendering light updates are now done async. Block values of some blocks have been changed. Fixed some bugs calculating island level incorrectly. Whenever obsidian forms on an island, the owner and coop members within 24 blocks will receive a notice. Limits on hoppers & spawners placed per island, the maximum for a fully expanded island is 48x mob spawners & 96 hoppers. Updated info on hovering a player to include if a player has fly mode. Added an extra confirmation messaging when accepting a coop. Added new protections for tamed & untamed mobs. Added restrictions on naming/re-naming mobs to be only for the owner or coop members. Added /petnear to show nearby tamed mobs. Island owners, members, or trusted players can use a stick to hit tamed mobs to send them home. Fixed plants, vines, mycelium, mushrooms from spreading or growing outside of island boundaries. Fixed error when using /sb or /settings command when not having an island. Fixed a bug showing island welcome messages multiple times. Fixed some issues of commands looking up players with a changed username or when mojang's servers are offline. Allowing colors to be used in SB Ad descriptions. Ads have been changed from 24 hours to 48 hours. Cleaned up the permissions file. Herobrine removed.
I second this, I haven't played on the server since the update but if the water streams are still as laggy as they were then we don't have an alternative to hoppers (which do create a lot of lag). If the water stream issue gets fixed then I can see hoppers having a limit and people have to work around around it
lol. --- I mean, sb has hopper limits so i don't see why you all don't like it here :/. Thanks crew just give sb more updates lol, ty.
Standard = 99x99 Middle = 149x149 Large = 199x199 Spawners: Standard: 24 Middle: 36 Large: 48 Hoppers: Standard: 48 Middle: 64 Large: 96
I understand, it is still not enough at 96 for large expansion, lot of people enjoy skyblock to make $, run shops, farms and improve their islands. I believe this limit broke so many people's islands. I'm just waiting for everyone to realize this. Because until I tested my farm producing nothing I didn't understand what was happening. I think this seriously hurts people's ability to enjoy playing skyblock. Item entities will become more of a problem now too and increase lag, water doesn't work properly. Many people has a working system that is now broken and some unfixable unless it's like creative where you can worldedit stuff. Also this hopper limit doesn't take into account at all, how not all hopper configurations contribute same lag. For example a chest filled with different items on top of a hopper that has different items filled in causes 1240 times the lag empty hopper would cause (Source: ). Not all hoppers contribute same amount of lag but everyone gets a 96 cap at large island making it very restrictive as you climb. So, I just wanna suggest one option which is to increase the hopper limits a bit more and still allow less lag while also not being too restrictive in designs that were already created. Second option could be for the plugin to factor in the pattern of the hopper systems because not all hoppers are same and the lag they create is literally day and night empty hopper vs worst lag creater chest with items dropping into hopper with different items. Motivation for me to play this server has decreased a lot because of this and those of you who agree or would like to suggest feel free to say something.
They just ruined skyblock everyone is selling their hoppers and farms. Very bad idea on the staffs part. I will not be looking forward to play skyblock anymore lmao
Cool update, but these max hoppers make our farms practically useless now. Please remove this one update. It spams our chat as well. If you play Skyblock, you know that pumpkin farms are the best way to make money. With this update, it prevents us from making money.
