Advertising while in a server

[robust cosmos]

If you could advertise without being in the minehut lobby. This would not cause spam because ad limits still exist

[terse portal]

lol no

[sage field]

what if you could buy a lobby ad that shows up in servers with the free plan? (would be funny trust)

[robust cosmos]

You type /mh-ad (SERVER) (MESSAGE) in a minehut server to advertise it

[terse portal]

no 😂

just go to the lobby and advertise

[sage field]

well its kinda annoying if theres a server resource pack and you have to wait for it to load every time and often when i leave to ad a bunch of people leave my server so I lose players from advertising lol

i would enjoy this being added

[robust cosmos]

I don't see the drawback to this

[terse portal]

whats the good thing about it?

saving a few seconds going to the lobby?

wow

so helpful

[sage field]

this

[terse portal]

thats still just a few seconds

[sage field]

i said i lose players when i leave and ad, even when i tell them ill join back right after

even though im not even doing much/anything with the players

i dont understand why either

[robust cosmos]

I’m saying we should add this to make it more convenient

A few seconds is still time

Plus 9/10 times it makes you re-equip the texture pack

[analog estuary]

Wait people actually use the mh texture pack?

Solution! Just have 2 Minecraft Clients open at once, one in the lobby, one on your server

[hidden ridge]

solution: launch Mc twice, have one instance ad and the other one stay in your server

[hidden ridge]

ah I'm late xD

and if you're using a bad client that only allows one instance... time to switch

vanilla client is underrated for that

lunar is able to do it but not well

badlion absolutely not

polymc of you copy everything from your instance then you can launch the new copy

I timed loading minehut's resource pack (including when it fails multiple times and restarts) and my average was just under 30 seconds.

[terse portal]

Yeah just a few seconds

I swear no one on the Internet has any patience anymore

[amber helm]

Only those who don't know how to disable it probably. I turned that stuff off as soon as possible

[amber helm]

A few = 3-10 seconds. The 30 seconds is longer than it takes for me to launch the game

[terse portal]

Lol

[fierce crest]

if you're talking about where it looks like its loading twice when joining, thats not a minehut thing. its a minecraft 1.20.2 thing.

in 1.20.2, the packs now unload everytime you switch the server. so what velocity now have to do is to reload the pack everytime the player goes to a different server. thats why you go through that load animation twice.

tho for me that double load time is still only like 5 seconds

[robust cosmos]

Allowing advertising whilst in a server would fix everything

Minehuts probably not gonna ad this cause then people would stop watching the hot wheels ad 💀

[amber helm]

This was in 1.19 and sometimes it would load like 5 times. I never bothered to read the code for resource pack loading in 1.19, so I don't know the cause

[hidden ridge]

I mean... 30 seconds everytime you join and leave does get very annoying
I disabled it ages ago

[hidden ridge]

fr

and, idk since when this is a thing, but I relogged on my paid smp and had to wait 1 minute before I could rejoin? like wtf

I had to reload cus there were some block glitches

[fierce crest]

hmm ive never had issues with the pack recently

also advertising while in your own server will just lead to more people botting cause minehut cant really track them

[robust cosmos]

Bots already exist and the lobby + ad limits still exist and pretty sure minehut cant stop you from using the ads you paid for

[hidden ridge]

"will just lead to more botting"

this just isn't gonna happen

[fierce crest]

dont think they should add a feature that could lead to more people breaking the rules just cause people already do it anyways. and no one is stopping you from using the ads you paid for. you just have to do it in the lobby

[robust cosmos]

the ad limit was made to fight bots

I paid for the ads so I should be able to use all of them\

[fierce crest]

like I said, you can still use them. just normally. its not really that hard.

[robust cosmos]

My main reason for making this suggestion is because of the resource pack

Disable it so we don't have to re-equip it to ad

disabling the ip pack does nothing

[fierce crest]

you can disable the pack yourself. its not a requirement to join the lobby

[fierce crest]

do you mean this thing? I just disabled it and I join the lobby fine without it

[robust cosmos]

Yes, but if join a server then go back to the lobby it re-applies the pack

[fierce crest]

not if you have the pack option set to disabled. I just tried and it didnt do that

[robust cosmos]

If you disable the pack, join a server through a minehut server IP, disable the pack prompt then type /mh it will re-apply the pack

[amber helm]

What important things can be tracked in lobby and not in player server? As far as I'm aware, the most important things to detect botting such as when ads are sent, ad content, and frequency would be trackable in lobby and in player server if a system to permit advertising in player servers were to be implemented

[amber helm]

You have to disable it for every player server IP that you join thru the multiplayer screen and the minehut lobby IP

[hidden ridge]

you can disable it
but I'm sure it was said before me

[hidden ridge]

(it doesn't)
what launcher are you using? do you have mods?

[hidden ridge]

are you really sure you want minehut to have more detailed control over your server? to have more stuff running on the cpu and ram you paid for?

[fiery needle]

thing is you can force players to execute commands as a server owner

so you could get random people to advertise without their consent

[strange anchor]

not proxy commands afaik

just like how you can't force players to /hub

[fiery needle]

oh i didnt know that

thanks for telling me

[strange anchor]

I may be wrong.

[dark ingot]

Yea you cant force players to /hub

[amber helm]

All they need to know is the time the ad was sent at and the content of the ad. Both of which they can record without any modification to the player server

[brisk surge]

Wow this is probably the worst suggestion I've ever seen

[robust cosmos]

How does it suck?

bro had to ping me to ping someone else?
