Linux easy mode - Linux Mint
Linux medium mode - Ubuntu, Fedora
Linux hard mode - Arch, Gentoo
Linux hardcore mode - Linux from Scratch

pulsar fox
#

but like 90% of games run on linux kekw

static pilot
#

linux is too convenient for me to give up

cedar spade
#

I've tried several distros and never found any of them comfortable enough to use on a daily basis

pulsar fox
#

why dual boot

static pilot
#

wsl doesn't apply to every one of my case scenarios

#

though i may try again sometime

cedar spade
#

(and using Windows Search as an app launcher is perfect and I have no reason to bother setting anything else up)

peak dirge
#

Windows is pepega

cedar spade
#

WSL2 negates any slight inkling I had in the past to try a dual boot lol

serene bolt
#

yup

peak dirge
#

I've only had to use Windows for a task very few times

void void
#

i made a boat

cedar spade
#

that... that's on land

void void
#

its a barge on wheels

neat smelt
#

nice boat xd

void void
#

i am launching it off the beach of whatever island this game spawned me on

peak dirge
#

Mostly it's because of some stupid school thing.

#

One of my professors (for software engineering no less) has a real boner for Visio

#

Then there's that time I had to do a bunch of stupid UWP crap. Honestly, screw UWP, there's a reason why MS is throwing in the towel on that.

#

But then the C++ nation attacked and that was pure torture.

cedar spade
#

I mean, UWP hasn't been relevant since Windows 10 Mobile died

peak dirge
#

Windows on your phone pepega

#

The professor who made me do that UWP crap was probably one of the 5 people who liked Windows on a phone

cedar spade
#

Windows CE and mobile pre-7 were pretty neat OSes for the time imo

peak dirge
#

cough Android, iOS

neat smelt
#

had a windows phone
except for app compatability it was pretty nice

cedar spade
#

Windows Mobile 6/before predated Android and iOS becoming mainline, not in the same league at all

#

for the time, CE was neat

#

7/8/10 were... eh, MS tried to make a modern smartphone OS but it fell flat on its face for so many reasons

#

I'm glad they're not holding mainline W10 back to keep Mobile alive any more

static pilot
#

The clock's ticking. The hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities are decreasing, regrets are mounting.

#

Yeah it's great man

serene bolt
#

RDR2 is awesome, but only if you're really into story games

#

it's massively long, and a solid half of that is cutscenes

#

but it's incredible if you're into that

#

I had a lot of fun just being a cowboy

cedar spade
#

I don't think I could be bothered with it tbh

fallen oracle
#

Yeah starwars is pretty cool

cedar spade
#

glare I swear

#

one more bad joke and I'll leak your PaperMC mod application video again

serene bolt
#

.... video? PepeLaugh

#

well then you'll love it, it's super narrative

#

I enjoyed it a lot

#

yeah it's exactly the same vein as that

fallen oracle
#

Oh you said RDR2

#

I thought you said R2D2

serene bolt
#

I never touched online

#

yup, GTA Online gave me nightmares so I didn't even bother with RDR online lmao

cedar spade
#

I personally wouldn't buy it anyway because ree Take-Two, but I imagine most people don't think about Take-Two being a shitty company lol

serene bolt
#

yeah i only just got RDR2 recently because it was on sale for quite cheap on Epic Games like awhile ago, $30

cedar spade
#

I mean, they don't publish much that interests me in the first place, but I barely even consider their games because of that stuff

#

The only game they published that I've played recently was The Outer Worlds, and only like an hour of it

fallen oracle
#

Damn MD exposing me.

cedar spade
#

I mean, if you like Fallout then probably?

serene bolt
#

It's very fallout 3 / new vegas, so if you enjoyed that style of game then you will like the outer worlds

cedar spade
#

not really my cup of tea

#

graphically the final game looks pretty good

#

(though not on my PC lol)

#

I only tried it because it was on Game Pass tbh

#

the KSP2 bullshit is just one of the latest of a whole host of reasons I don't really want to give Take-Two my money lol

#

Kerbal Space Program 2, sequel to the original

static pilot
#

i'm downloading no man's sky right now

#

apparently i get it free with xbox game pass

#

so i'm excited to try that out

fallen oracle
#

Halo 3 came out today in master chief

cedar spade
#

it was being developed by an external indie studio and published by Take-Two, they started negotiations to buy the studio, they fell through so Take-Two cancelled the contract with the original developer, started their own studio up and emailed all the staff from the original studio telling them to come work for the new one

#

the original studio ended up being put out of business

#

(fyi the "original studio" in this case is not the same studio who made KSP1)

fallen oracle
#

So are they known as Take-Three now?

cedar spade
#

Take-Two is massive lol

#

they own 3 publishers already

#

eh, I consider the game's state at the point I'm thinking of playing it lol

#

if Fallout 76 went free-to-play now I'd probably download it

static pilot
#

well

#

you could get an xbox account

#

then buy the game pass for $1

#

it's like $1 first monthh

#

that's why i'm getting nms for free now

#

outer worlds and fallout 76 are also on the game pass

#

also surprisingly rdr2

#

but it's console only

cedar spade
#

76 is on game pass?

static pilot
#

yes

cedar spade
#

PC or just Xbox?

static pilot
#

both I think

potent fossil
#

NMS has redeemed itself, if you haven't tried it since launch then shut the fuck up tbh

static pilot
#

i hhave both

potent fossil
#

HG fucked up but they have more than fixed the game and are continuing to add to it

static pilot
#

woahh calm down watch dogs 2

#

i'm joking wd2 was a good agme

cedar spade
#

I mean NMS isn't my kind of game so I have no comment lmao

potent fossil
#

No I'm talking about the people who shit on it because of how it was at launch

cedar spade
#

yeah

potent fossil
#

Not considering how it is now

static pilot
#

nvm

#

76 is console only

cedar spade
#

was gonna say I didn't see it on the PC list

#

rip

static pilot
vestal jasper
#

While this might not be objectively true, through the eyes of a lot of people it may well be: A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad

#

I don't subscribe to that mentality but a lot of people do

finite wave
#

That procedural generated game that everyone refunded

cedar spade
static pilot
#

nms is cross play now right

cedar spade
#

might actually renew game pass

static pilot
#

no

#

it's $32 with game pass

#

oh nvm

cedar spade
#

yeah all Game Pass games come with a discount if you want to buy them outright

#

not sure why you'd choose to buy a PC game on the MS Store, but like, it's an option lol

#

the xbox app/MS store integration is janky as hell

#

I've heard some people who actually bothered to return to 76 for Wastelanders thought it was a massive improvement, so maybe idk

waxen panther
#

tbf

#

microsoft store downloads very very fast

#

the rest of it sucks but I get way faster dl speed on it than I do any other platform

cedar spade
#

true, except I've had massive problems getting games to actually start downloading in the first place

#

and if you pause then it tends to crap out and start from scratch

#

even more janky if you try and use the Xbox app to manage downloads

waxen panther
#

I haven't had that yet but it doesn't surprise me

static pilot
#

a hack, md

#

just make a new xbox account

#

and keep getting the $1 game pass trials

#

rather than outright ph that shit for $15/mo

#

if you want to play a game long term you’ll end up paying more than you would’ve if you just outright bought the game

vestal jasper
#

Mfw you make a game centered around a desolate, lonely, and depressing setting, and you fuck it up so bad people complain that it's desolate and lonely.

waxen panther
#

what game

#

oh

#

pepega 76

vestal jasper
#

F76

slim nymph
#

welll if you get it on ms store, and do use xbox, some games are play anywhere where you can play on both devices and share save files

vestal jasper
#

It should be lonely and desolate but half of bethesda's people are dum dums

cedar spade
#

seems like there's very few games with shared licences or saves between W10 and Xbox tho, like that seems to be limited to mostly MS first-party games right now?

vestal jasper
#

Their people who design interiors and build stories out of them are like 8.5/10

slim nymph
#

limited games yeah, but i know ARK is PA

cedar spade
#

huh

#

but also, ark

slim nymph
vestal jasper
#

But building an entire game around "look how nice our interior designers are" is a bit pepega

void void
#

hes beginning to believe

vestal jasper
#

It really shouldn't exist and I'm not sure what it accomplished other than proving that an engine made for MMOs can do multiplayer.

cedar spade
#

It really shouldn't exist and I'm not sure what it accomplished other than proving that an engine made for MMOs can do multiplayer.
do you mean an engine made for RPGs?

vestal jasper
#

No, their engine was originally NetImmerse

#

Which was an MMO centered engine

#

Later forked as GameBryo and then fucked with by bethesda until we have what we have now

cedar spade
#

oh huh

#

I mean, it mostly served Bethesda well... ish, kinda not really idk

slim nymph
#

im sad what happened to dragon age 4 😦

vestal jasper
#

I mean it takes bethesda notably longer to create games vs other AAA studios and their results are... Impressively fucked and buggy.

#

Doesn't help that they care little for fixing things

#

Afaik f76 contains bugs that were discovered in morrowind

#

That being said they provide notably entertaining titles with pretty good replay value so at the end of the day they often do what they set out to

cedar spade
#

wait what

static pilot
#

pokémon sword

cedar spade
#

why does IntelliJ now have its own tray icon

static pilot
#

knock it or try it

cedar spade
#

I completed Sword

#

then proceeded to never pick it up again

serene bolt
#

Pokemon Sword was so disappointing to me

static pilot
#

I bought it

serene bolt
#

it was just.... boring

static pilot
#

just I don’t like the switch lite resolution

#

I have like

#

let me check

serene bolt
#

they need to actually start innovating with the pokemon games, instead of just copy and paste

#

the whole new "wilderness area" was pretty pathetic lol

static pilot
#

FighterZ, SMM2, Sword, Smash, LM3, BOTW

serene bolt
#

BOTW is a masterpiece

static pilot
#

Haven’t played any of em

cedar spade
#

For me it was fine, but I'm also not really into Pokemon

static pilot
#

I’m not big on pokémon but ya know, I played a few games and enjoyed a lot of pokémon-esque creepypastas

#

the haunted video game cartridges type thing

slim nymph
#

so they ran outof things to call the games and moved into weapons

true canyon
#

Some day we'll get a BOTW style pokemon. But it might not be until 2050.

slim nymph
#

whens Pokemon Ruger edition

serene bolt
#

do you know how incredible that would be

#

Pokemon BOTW style... dear lord

cedar spade
#

I've got Sword, Smash, ACNH and Stardew Valley on my switch

#

setting the bar quite high for a Pokemon game lol

serene bolt
#

i have the most hours in BOTW and ACNH lol

cedar spade
#

205+ hours in ACNH now

#

I don't even know how

#

My island is a mess lol

serene bolt
#

you just start playing... and it consumes you

cedar spade
#

daily grind

serene bolt
#

I have a 5 star rating on my island :D

cedar spade
#

gotta dig those fossils

serene bolt
#

hit some trees, hit all your rocks for the day, maybe spend a nook miles ticket or two

cedar spade
#

still on 3 stars, I was on 4 for a while but started renovating and haven't finished so I've been at 3 for like 2 months lol

#

imagine going to mystery islands after the first month of owning the game

serene bolt
#

I haven't played since they added the new underwater stuff earlier this month

#

glad they added that though, it was fun to swim in the 3ds version

cedar spade
#

I don't really understand mystery island tours, but then again I never played New Leaf so there's a whole load of stuff I'm not used to lol

#

New Horizons still feels kinda barebones compared to City Folk

#

nintendo pls bring back the city I want to get the bus and go to auctions and buy balloons :(

static pilot
#

i feel like just grinding out sword over the course of today

#

with mcnuggets and sauce by my side

#

i’ve never played any animal crossing game but maybe after sword i should try that

#

smm2 doesn’t seem too interesting to me

vestal jasper
#

Pokemon Furry and Pokemon Weeb

cedar spade
#

I'm hoping they start adding new buildings in the future, not just new visitors

#

also let's ignore the fact daily visitors were completely broken for over 2 months

Well, some time passed since 1.16, I guess I'll update this weekend

#

Or maybe next week

#

😴

potent fossil
#

id wait for 1.16.2 if you want the new mob

#

otherwise youll need to regen your nether

tired heath
#

hmm that's a point, but I could skip the pregen for now

potent fossil

up 2 u

tired heath
#

Did'nt even knew about new mobs, have to google that now

#

uu nice

#

Why do I have to think about that football player of super mario world, when I see it 😄

minor badge
#

theyre not changing gen for the mob

#

so starting now is fine

#

just gen new chunks once .2 drops

tired heath
#

It would affect my farmworlds only, since the rest is citybuild or my open arena dev server. I guess I will take the time this weekend

Is that all this person does? Spend hours blowing up TnT?

#

Granted, I know a lot of people like to do that. But for all of Minecraft? Seriously?

tired heath
#

If all you do in Minecraft, is blowing stuff up, with TnT that you have to dupe, since you don't know any other way to get enough of TnT

any idea why my console is spamming 14.07 19:10:03 [Server] INFO Removing entity COW @ Location{world=CraftWorld{name=otherworld},x=-587.1139007514616,y=64.0,z=264.51962967856235,pitch=0.0,yaw=127.654526} all different kinds of animals, all in one world (otherworld)

tired heath
#

:=

void void
#

cow too fat

#

cant remove

still cape
#

grr takes one to know one

tired heath
#

Maybe some clean up or anti lag plugin, or maybe some PETA server?

void void
#

whatever plugin is doing that

#

it seems to be getting the Location object and straight getting the string of that object

#

and printing to console

tired heath
#

no way captain obvious 🙂

#

sorry, is late already

void void
#

i mean they area literally doing toString(); on that object and prints that massive string instead of only printing the needed info

tired heath
#

Lazy way to do things or maybe a debug left over

finite wave
#

You got many plugins Empathy?

#

Also that message makes like 0 sense all different kinds of animals, all in one world

kindred storm
#

They might not be the ones calling toString, if they're submitting an object to a logger, for example.

tired heath
#

Maybe some stupid protection plugin, removing entitys after spawning inst. of denying spawn

void void
#

@still cape yeah so its a plugin in case you thing its something else

#

is it meant to be used for the version of minecraft you are using on?

still cape
#

yeah but it won't say what plugin it is...

void void
#

process of elimination

tired heath
#

Empathy, only way is going trough it by disabling one by one, start with best guess

still cape
#

... my most hated process of troubleshooting

finite wave
#

Send me all your plugins

#

And i'll figure it out

#

Of course, you can also do it yourself

unkempt drift
#

nah, impossible

void void
#

you can assume

#

but might be wrong

still cape
#

you don't know what you're asking jan, if you did, you wouldn't ask

#

anyway the logs are saying it's grief prevention that's removing it, and recently i did set that world's setting to creative in grief prevention's config

#

don't have a lot of experience with that setting in grief prevention per se, i've had gp for six years but always all worlds as survival

tired heath
#

Maybe you have explosive cows and the plugin is preventing the grief?

finite wave
#

Yes

still cape
#

aha so

void void
#

send plugin list il have a guess

#

lol

still cape
#

but i don't want to have it mob-spawning deny 'cause i don't want it to prevent mob spawning in claims or players not be able to use mob eggs... these must be the animals that were there before i did the change

#

should i just killall animals and then it will be fine?

finite wave
#

Sure

#

If all chunks are loaded that is

still cape
#

well they aren't

finite wave
#

How u gonna kill them in unloaded chunks

still cape
#

any idea how to fix or just let gp hunt them down and ignore the console?

#

i don't know i'm asking u

void void
#

there are plugins im pretty sure that can force load chunks

#

but understanding how that works may take time

finite wave
#

I mean it only removes if it isn't in claims.

#

Also that fucking formatting

still cape
#

hmm i'll post under gp message board see what's recommended

#

?

finite wave
#

GP looks fucking ass

tired heath
#

I would not care, since it removes it if not claimed. That happens because you generated chunks before the plugin was enabled, so entitys already spawned.

#

It will stop anyways if all entitys (unclaimed) got removed, except your world is already discoverd big time

#

or entities escape all the time from claimed stuff

still cape
#

not just discovered, /fill and /dynmap fullrender done

tired heath
#

uu

still cape
#

so it's all discovered i mean /wb fill

tired heath
#

yeah, than it will spam on

#

🙂

unkempt drift
#

what is wrong with the animals here?

finite wave
#

urn debug off in logs Empathy

#

config:

#

**

#

GriefPrevention.Abridged Logs.Included Entry Types.Debug

still cape
#

is that in gp config?

finite wave
#

Yes

#

The dots are sections so

still cape
finite wave
#
GriefPrevention:
  'Abridged Logs':
    'Included Entry Types':
      Debug: false

#

Hmm

#

I would turn that off, it will spam you due to entity limits

still cape
#

not to mention it's not deleting them either, tried to go to an armor stand that's actually a hologram and it's still there

#

well how do i turn it off it's already debug false

finite wave
still cape
#

it's not updated to 1.6, though i'm using 1.15 (but plan to update), i hope that won't be an issue. i will install it if gp message board inquiry doesn't come up with a response that works, and/or if i need it in the future. thanks!

#

it's also not showing up as an error but an [INFO] so i hope it does get rid of it if i install it

tired heath
#

Because it is not an error is a feature, if you wanna call it like that. The spam is more like a problem, why it does not stop without debug

finite wave
#

I mean the code itself looks disgusting so i'm not even gonna bother

still cape
#

i edited my post to state the debug is false so hopefully the dev will see that

fallen oracle
#

I mean it probabaly still works on 1.16.

still cape
#

gp's dev is RoboMWM and he's pretty responsive

tired heath
#

I use hes RTP plugin, now that I saw the code of this here

finite wave
#

It doesn't even look at the debug tag

tired heath
#

I have to rethink things tonight

#

😄

finite wave
#

It's apparently supposed to be removed from logs

still cape
#

yeah it really like, takes over everything

#

i can't make much use of the console because it spams a bunch at once so i miss everything

tired heath
#

I mean, if you won't get a solution and really want this gp thing, is open source, you could remove the line and build it

wary lynx
#

I heard md_5 still uses neatbeans. Could just be a rumor but if it's true that's hilarious.

still cape
#

i'm not a dev and i'm not about to mess with gp. weird to think of as "this gp thing" 'cause it's very widely used and i've used it for 5 years with my 1.0 server. just now trying a few new things in 2.0 beta

Well I name a lot code things as things meaning things

no offense

#

You can decompile it yourself noob.

It's not obfuscated, but it is their code.. so might as well look like it.

#

honestly i'm scared to use stuff that's not by the original dev for something like gp, let's see what he replies, no offense

#

plus what will i do when i upgrade, keep asking you?

finite wave
#

? I just commented out that line

tired heath
#

Or learn to build a project until than

still cape
#

i'm too old to learn that stuff

#

(hides)

tired heath
#

naaa never to old

still cape
#

i'd have to learn a lot more than what it takes just to change that part

tired heath
#

A little bit more

#

but is worth it

still cape
#

to understand what i was doing

#

trust me if i had the time i would love to

tired heath
finite wave
#

I did, git clone thatshit, nano EntityCleanupTask commented out the line and then mvn package

still cape
#

that doesn't look suspicious

tired heath
#

if you would check out, how git works, you could even do automated rebase on each update. Just like one command

#

just saying

#

getting your change included

still cape
#

you're living up to your name, i have no clue what that means

tired heath

Well okay, maybe too much, but building this project isn't a big deal, believe me

Hello! I am considering to update my server from 1.13 to 1.15 or 1.16. When it was updated to 1.14, the update had to be rolled back because of massive lag. In terms of performance, which do you think is better; 1.15 or 1.16? Do you know of any caveats or do you have any other recommendations in my process of upgrading? (I will force a world conversion first with 1.14.4 and then with 1.15.2,

#

and then possibly to 1.16.2.)

potent fossil
#

1.16 is better but if you want the new mob that is coming out soon then wait for 1.16.2

#

otherwise you'd have to regen

heavy jetty
#

I used yamllint but I'm not sure how to fix those errors

limber knotBOT
#

1.16 is better from a performance perspective, you mean, simp?

potent fossil
#

Yes, but it's still not as good as 1.12 was

#

It's the best of the recent versions

quasi valley
#

that's just a totally borked yaml, fixing=deleting it

limber knotBOT
#

Do you think 1.16 better than 1.13, performance-wise, or at least as "good"?

quasi valley
#

yes

potent fossil
#

A lot of the performance hurt is mitigated by using aikar's flags and applying the full optimization guide, and giving the server plenty of ram. the standard is 10 gigs, accounting for the 4gb overhead (2gb jvm, 2gb system)

heavy jetty
#

oof, I'm trying to use the !conditional of BungeeTabListPlus but I can't figure out how to do it

potent fossil
#

it can be done with less, but YMMV

limber knotBOT
#

That sounds promising, KnenyTV!

heavy jetty
#

1.13's performance was horrible

limber knotBOT
#

simp: I think I've followed most of the tips in the optimization guide. I remember 1.12 running fine and 1.13 runs quite alright, but 1.14 was a nightmare. (The player count peaks at 80-90.)

potent fossil
#

for a high player count on these newer versions, you need to focus on a good physical CPU, no more shared hosting you need a dedi with a good cpu that is battle tested (@spare venture might know which CPU is good to get), and use Aikar's flags with plenty of ram like I said, and then make sure you've done the optimization guide fully as there may be new options since 1.12/1.13

#

but definitely, good CPU and fast ram. SSD is a must, if you have an HDD you will die

#

so this could mean that moving hardware is in your future depending on what your current machine is

limber knotBOT
#

Thanks. I have a dedicated server with an M.2 disk and uh, the CPU was pretty good at least when the machine was purchased in 2015.

heavy jetty
#

5yrs is a really long time for CPU improvement, you might want to find a new one :P

limber knotBOT
#

My friend, who is more into hardware than I am, is scanning the market for a suitable upgrade \o/ I'm just curious to know if 1.15 and/or 1.16 is as bad as 1.14. It was quite embarrassing when I upgraded to 1.14 and had to roll back a week of game time; not to mention the additional work!

potent fossil
#

they are better than 1.14

#

however, still not as good as 1.12

#

performance still hurts, so you need to really have the resources. so long as you do, it runs well

#

essentially: the game has gotten more resource hungry. feed it, and it is happy

limber knotBOT
#

And in comparison, 1.14 doesn't run well, even if you have the resources?

potent fossil
#

1.14 was just a mess.

limber knotBOT
#

I'm glad to hear that. :)

potent fossil

It is the version which we do not name

For all intents and purposes, it goes 1.12, 1.13, 1.15, 1.16...

This is a big question, does anyone have a detailed analysis of how minecraft's chunk system works in terms of dealing with the global world block locations and local chunk block locations?

I know that it uses bitwise operators but don't fully understand it

um looking at the code?

umbral parrot

looking at minecraft's codebase for it is the equivalent to asking for a hot poker up the ass

blockX >> 4 = chunkX

well, asking here for somebody to break it down for you might be a hotter poker

so @worn ember if your location searcher fails, then you call the random() method again... user gets double charged if eco enabled, gets delayed again if delays not ignored, gets cooled down again, and then finally gets the teleport method called again, which could potentially do the same thing again if the location aint safe meanwhile the original call continued to run and potentially teleported the player anyway

#

thats like saying theres 2 halfs of your brain, read the front and the back of a book at the same time

peak dirge

SalC1 knows more about 2b2t than he does about thread-safety. That's why you can't "move as much packet handling as possible to the netty thread" - lots of Minecraft internal state is not thread-safe.

I'd be willing to bet he knows more about 2b2t than he knows about computer science in general.

The only way you make Minecraft threaded is if Mojang makes major changes to the game internal code, and they've repeatedly said they're not going to do that when they can pick all the low-hanging fruit they can.

It can use multiple cores, but the logic is largely confined to one thread.

are you just asking random questions at this point? do you even know what "using x cores" means?

glad narwhal

not really lmao

left swift
#

They're trying to figure out what raspberry pi to buy for a server

void void
#

hehe

peak dirge
#

The JVM uses multiple threads in the background for garbage collection and compiling native code. Minecraft packets are received (and encoded/decoded) on a separate thread pool. Finally, Mojang has made some game logic multi-threaded - world generation and lighting are the notable ones in recent versions of Minecraft.

#

Paper adds async chunk loading, though I think this is mostly because Spigot made it single-threaded.

glad narwhal
#

it's like one core has one thread and some stuff to process instuctions

as i know virus has rna

and inject it into cells

cunning raft
#

that's how viruses work

#

not just this one

glad narwhal
#

i think that we will inject rna of weak virus and body will fight it

vernal moth
#

Just gotta thank the EU and bill gates for funding work like this

#

Without those two, CureVac and the whole mRNA tech (messenger rna, that's how they call this) wouldn't be here yet

maybe you miss us

When I'm going to 1.16.1 from 1.15.2, can I just use the new version of Paper? I was doing before with Spigot forceUpgrade and such with the map, is that a necessary or a good step? Or it doesn't matter?

Hello!

Does anyone knows how to find a build in a flat world?

Like a village?

um i take screenshots of coords

You just fly back to where you found it.

I don't know cords.

I've got a map sent by a really good builder

Ask them where it is then

I've got many specific block to look for.

Paper MC amazing. Question how does spawning change?

latent valve

what "spawning"

sleek tree
#

How far/close you are to the mobs in question for them to be spawned? Zombified piglin to be exact

left swift
#

Not changed unless you changed it in the configs

sleek tree
#

No I didn't only per player mob spawns

#

Thank you ✌️

@ what aikar commented, I'm one of those players

#

I value my command completions greatly

#

prob the single feature from 1.13 I enjoy and it's one I rely on often

waxen panther
#

command completions 🤤

void void
#

can't live without meh command completion

waxen panther
#

can't wait until i figure out bridager flushed_baba

vestal jasper
#

completions also help me figure out what commands I can and cannot use on my own terms

#

since server owners also like to block plugin list

#

I can tolerate plugin list being blocked tho

olive marlin
#

I got asked quite a few times, why didn't I block plugin list etc.

#

Some thought it's a security issue lol

#

I don't see any point in doing that. Maybe I'm biased since half of plugins are self-made.

left swift
#

Only thing that might be a security thing is giving people the ability to see versions of plugins lol

sleek tree
#

^^ Had a server I use to paly on that you could get the anti cheat version. Didn't listen to me when I said it was a bad idea.

tame pendant
#

same, bloodstone

slim nymph
#

why does it matter if they know the version? theyll prob have stuff working around the anti cheat anyways, cheaters gonna cheat

still sun
#

how does extremecraft support multiple client versions?

#

im using papermc but i can only play on 1.16.1

slim nymph

ViaVersion

vestal jasper
#

Some versions of plugins are prone to exploits like old versions of illegal stack (the one with the donkey dupe protection that... added another donkey dupe exploit)

left swift
#

Can see if the version running on the server has known exploits

vestal jasper
#

That being said that should absolutely not be a reason to block plugins / plugin versions

#

You should be keeping your plugins up to date

slim nymph
#

yeah and version isnt gonna save you, theyll just try it anyways if its blocked

left swift
#

But yeah true

#

Doesn't mean u should make it easy for them

still sun
#

viaversion is a plugin to help the server support multiple client versions?

void void
#

YEP

#

woops caps

vestal jasper
#

The servers that were affected by the issue I brought up would not have had any problem if they were not using a 3 month old version of the plugin

still sun
#

awesome

slim nymph
#

the most seeing a server is running outdated is gonna do is give them a bit more confidence that some "new" exploit is not detected on this and they can get away with it

still sun
#

gonna try that now

left swift
#

Some servers are still using that version

void void
#

yeah theres lists of servers that are using outdated versions of plugins

left swift
#

People cant exploit on your server if you delete it

slim nymph
#

for epic trolls, make your anti cheat intentionally report out of date to trick cheaters

vestal jasper
#

I used to run a server where we relied on coreprotect as our anti grief, and we'd setup trap bases near spawn with valuable stuff in item frames etc and it was fun to see all the people who'd fall for the obvious bait.

olive marlin
#

Ooh, that's what we are doing Vic.

#

I might steal the idea of fake valuables.

left swift
#

My server runs no land claims, weeds out the stealers real quick since player shops are near spawn lol

vestal jasper
#

We had an armor stand with iron armor and some meme items in item frames so it'd look plausible as a noob base

#

They start with leather so the iron was enticing

#

Tbh even just putting a normal vanilla diamond sword in an item frame was enough to catch a lot of people

#

Retards like to steal custom player skulls as well

slim nymph
#

please dont use the word retard like that

#

but careful on traps like that. lot of times very young players fall for it, and yes because they didn't "Read the rules", but presents a teaching opportunity vs "banning evil player"

worn ember
#

r word monkaStab

slim nymph
#

we've had plenty of conversations with parents around that

worn ember
#

do they give you their credit cards tho?

slim nymph
#

advice is dont just perma ban them, have a temp ban and a conversation

#

um, to me? no. to paypal sometimes

worn ember
#

do you actually make profit of Empire?

slim nymph
#

some yeah, enough to live on no

worn ember
#

ah, so more of a side project then

slim nymph
#

EULA compliance + non PVP

#

niche market 😛

worn ember
#

yeah fair enough

slim nymph
#

though the recent eula relaxation helps

worn ember
#

i never liked "scamming" people for their money, it feels so wrong

slim nymph
#

i still need to make some changes to bring some perksback

olive marlin
#

Yeah. I'm having trouble figuring out perks that mature people would pay for, but ones that don't give any advantage over free players.

slim nymph
#

i can pretty much undo most of my eula changes now ._.

spice finch
#

Aren't offlinemode servers breaking eula? 🤔

slim nymph
#

wish mojang would of put this thought into it back then....

#

yes

#

well "actual" offline mode

worn ember
#

why are they even a thing tbh? I mean, without it bungee wouldnt be possible but still, thats not their concern

slim nymph
#

iirc when we talked to mojang about it once im pretty sure they said they see it as not compliant since it supports piracy

#

for legit oflfline mode play lol

#

if networks down, lan play

spice finch
#

so... why don't they simply ban most of existing servers?

#

if they're against it

minor badge
#

@vestal jasper we did that too for a good while; most players didn't grief at all after the first punishment from raiding trap houses, while some just ignored it ending in a permban as we didn't wanna deal with it

peak dirge
#

they would get immediate backlash

slim nymph
#

"most of existing servers" since when is offline most servers

spice finch
#

I mean... it depends on community & country

peak dirge
#

even if it would not be deserved AT ALL

spice finch
#

but here in Poland we have no big onlinemode server

peak dirge
#

since most of these people didn't pay for the game

#

and Mojang is within their rights to stop offline-mode servers

slim nymph
#

well be the big one. poland isnt some third world country
