Mineverse Updates - May 23rd, 2020. More Skyblock Updates. Hoppers have been increased to 100x per island and will not depend on expansion. I know there has been some complaints about what was set previously, however some sort of limit needs to be in place as from experience a single island can slow down the server entirely. It is likely something we experienced many times before however went unnoticed as it clears up once an island like this is unloaded. I think a limit at a 100 is a good number and an expansion will not be required so it is fair for all. Let me know what you guys think. Natural monsters should spawn a little bit more often. Trees grow a little faster.
100? It's 4 more?? wow. If your plugin is scanning for hoppers why not scan for how the hoppers are placed. 1000 of hoppers placed in specific formation of chest on top into hopper with different items can crash a single player world but 100K of them wouldn't do a thing if isn't in that. I think Crew should research on this further and come up with a different method that is bit more sophisticated. For example have a point system out of 300. Hoppers in a line wouldn't be that much but the condition I mentioned could drain 50 points or so. So in overall people would contribute much less lag while still being able to commit more hoppers to make the game enjoyable. I will be leaving this server if the situation doesn't get better and many share the same resentments. If we wanted hopper limits we'd just be playing sb.net. But now this server is also gonna die with these changes. I don't mind saying the truth of things here because I won't be playing further if @Noobcrew don't come out with a better solution than just stamping a small number without knowing about it.
Yes add another 4 and call it good... LMAO just get rid of the stupid hopper limit... Like why? Its so stupid. Just limiting the fun people can have on their skyblock islands. You cant make a big farm with 100 hoppers. VERY BAD IDEA!!!!!!!!
The limit is in place to keep mineverse from having 2tps like .net does. Though it could most likely be bigger without causing harm.
Thanks but you can easily add a mob arena like in the old days yet you haven't even though it's one of the most highly requested things for skyblock. I appreciate the effort but I really don't think anyone asked for these tiny specific updates other than maybe the hoppers thing and I certainly don't think that they will bring in any more players. I know I'm sounding harsh but I feel like I need to be honest. Skyblock is one of the most popular gamemodes on Mineverse, reaching 60+ players at peak times. Instead of adding features like the mob arena to boost the player count, you are re opening Minetime. As so many things on this server are broken (/staff, /friends, ranks and worledit perms on Creative, broken spots on Infection etc), you should not be working on a new server and should be working on fixing these issues on this server. I still find it unbelievable that you reopened Minetime and added Prison to it yet the gamemode hasn't returned in years on here despite it being one of the most requested gamemodes.
Here is my issue! The ones who have been on here for months even years voting and grinding are the ones who suffer... I have put so much time on this server not to mention the amount of money I have spent to support the server and yet to have restrictions... so instead of adding more resources with all this money coming in you just tie our arms behind our back and expect up to continue to play! This is what drove many of us away before and not its all happening again. I know they have the money to add more resources and what would it cost??? Hardly anything since this is on a cloud server!!!! So heated right now!
I understand that, though I wish it worked like that. All network/cloud servers are just all single servers linked together. Our real limitation is 1.12 itself and working on Skyblock.net, things such as hoppers and farms are hugeee bottlenecks and I would like to put certain things in place so that if we do have an increase in players in the future, that we can handle it. Though of course for right now, we do get peaks of 50-60 so the server can technically handle a bit more.
I have increased the limit to 150x right now. I am trying to find a middle ground with everyone as I do get the frustration however I cannot for instance accommodate 300 for a small group of people as this can cause issues in the future. BedWars was made really well and yes even though it doesn't get players right now, it would if we get an influx of players later on, the plan is to grow Mineverse of course. :p
