i typed it wrong

#

LOL

#

but forgot to copy

true lynx
#

you can edit the message you know

storm wasp
#

ffs

storm wasp
#

😭😭

storm wasp
true lynx
#

nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

storm wasp
#

okay, i’ll type it again here

#

what should I use to code and how do I work on the latest stuff etc

low solar
#

IDE of choice + git Repo + Contributor guidelines innit

storm wasp
#

so VsCode would be fine?

true lynx
#

it shared the wrong playlist πŸ’€

#

anyways fixed

storm wasp
#

i know java

#

i just dunno how to do it in a non cyber security context

true lynx
#

ah well, first of i would recommend IntelliJ IDEA (community edition) for minecraft dev cuz there's a sweet sweet plugin

#

kinda memory hungry tho

storm wasp
true lynx
storm wasp
#

i don’t think it will be too much to pick up surely?

low solar
#

Depends on what you doing

storm wasp
true lynx
#

depends on the feature lol

low solar
#

tbh most of the delay of new features is that of

#

a surge of new features

#

rather than

#

lack of contributions

#

That's not even all of page 1 :3

#

and since i don't play skyblock much anymore i can't review some of these cuz i'm not high level enough πŸ™ƒ

low solar
#

I can

#

give u

#

videos

#

of stuff if that helps

true lynx
#

I would prefer if you just test stuff and leave a comment on the PR that it works

low solar
#

kk

true lynx
#

don't need the details 90% of the time

low solar
#

i can do that

true lynx
#

i changed my server nickname to reflect the situation

low solar
#

I can't even figure out what that stands for πŸ˜‚

Maintainer That Doesn't Even Play Skyblock Anymore

I mean if ya all can do that it would help me and other maintainers so we know what works. Also more testers means less likely to have bugs on release

wild fiber
#

I also play a lot less skyblock now - with EU ping blackholes and other stuff to do IRL

#

is it same reason for you?

true lynx
#

I don't really have much fun playing skyblock now, but like last year's summer vacation I would just grind garden all day. But now I can't focus on it

#

i prefer coding ||or doing nothing||

#

and coding for skyblocker is kinda fun, trying to make the most of what the server gives us in info

#

In conclusion: coding for skyblocker, more fun than using skyblocker

#

I didn't get any ping black holes yet
france is built different

peak arch
#

get 30 minion slots
put down 15 t12 rev minions
and 15 t12 melon minions

#

come back to combat and farming 60

deft edge
#

for farming i need to do the gold medal thing. already have enough farming xp for 60

peak arch

#

im still having issues

true lynx
deft edge
#

im in germany maybe im in Epicenter

true lynx
#

hope they put up some EU servers one day

#

i like skyblock music

#

but not at 150 ping and lagging every 5 seconds

peak arch
#

i love playing the game

low solar
#

the dungeons music is p. sick

【Note Block】 Hypixel Skyblock OST | Rift (Island - The Rift)

This is an original ambient track called "Rift", made for Hypixel's Skyblock game on the Hypixel Minecraft Server. It is the general island song that plays in the alternate skyblock hub dimension called The Rift, accessible via the Wizard Tower. Hope you enjoy!

It's been a year since the last track got uploaded, huh? Time flies.
I kept this one...

β–Ά Play video
peak arch
#

oh for sure
but the rev minions are a nice boost on the side and u can use it to get bulk exp for levelling gdrag on the side for profit

true lynx
#

all of shinko's music is great

low solar
#

Isn't the idea of Rev minions not just to level up Gregs? (and then flip)

peak arch
#

yes

#

i just meant as in, if you need more combat exp
its a good source to speed things up on the side while u play the game as usual too

#

but otherwise f6/m6 runs are like 6mxp/hr

wild fiber
#

it cures it

#

but extra ping on top

#

I think you can probably guess why I have personal VPN

peak arch
#

yeah i know a bunch of people who consistently get better routing with vpns within the US

#

still pretty rough though, and you have to avoid free ones

wild fiber
#

mine is good but its 160-170 ping instead of 120

#

but no ping blackholes so it is *playable *

wild fiber
deft edge
#

I don't understand why Hypixel is the only server with this problem. I started playing Wynncraft again and the servers are butter smooth.

wild fiber
true lynx
#

i think hypickle said it was something out of their control or something

wild fiber
#

which is why I believe that CF is fucking it

#

and cloudflare are big enoujgh to not care about issues with such small customer

wild fiber
low solar
#

Hypixel must be super aggressive on resource optimisations or smthn

wild fiber
#

I believe that thing can be cured with injection of 1.20.5+ transfer packets + EU servers

deft edge
true lynx
#

it sounds a bit wack in game but other than that it's GREAT

deft edge
wild fiber
#

586 ms

deft edge
#

Yeah, now you know what I'm dealing with

#

its a pain to reproduce bugs and testing fixes with this ping

wild fiber
#

you probably should try vpn

#

can't make it any worse by that point

#

its like its routing around the globe when server is next house

wild fiber
#

you spend whole day on this

#

then play for 10 minutes

true lynx
#

lol

wild fiber
#

play doogans or something

#

kuuder

#

we should make it replace dungeons and kuudra with doogans and kuuder at april 1st in every piece of text

true lynx
#

eh

deft edge
# wild fiber its like making modpack for skyrim or most games

oh man, you've brought back memories. I actually had more fun putting together the modpacks back then than actually playing them. Several hours of researching, trying out mods and putting them in the right order so that there are no problems/crashes. Watching mod showcases.

low solar
#

Wynncraft is actually just

#

so much nicer

#

to play on

#

when I make an input im not 2nd guessing constantly

wild fiber
low solar
#

honestly It must be beyond that

#

I get TPS could be lower on hypickle

#

cause they have like 4x the entities to keep track of

#

and stuff like that

#

but Proxy issues

#

and all of this jazz

#

just doesn't exist on Wynncraft

true lynx
#

Wynncraft is more adventure and story
Skyblock is more THE GRIND πŸ’ͺ like runescape a bit (note: i never played runescape)

low solar
#

Im purely talking about like

#

servers

#

rather than gameplay

true lynx
#

ah

#

ye well wynncraft is less beeg than hypickle so less servers to maintain

#

also recent versions

low solar
#

They say that

#

but

#

eh

#

Scaling from 1->2

#

then 2->100

true lynx
#

but that also mean they got less mons so idk πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

low solar
#

and 100->1000

#

these are all big jumps

true lynx
#

more competent devs

low solar
#

but 4k->20k

#

its not nothing

#

but surely its just the same scaling strategy

peak arch
#

literally you're better off killing voidlings

#

the only reason ghosts are good is for the money on the side you get from the drops and rare 1m coin
otherwise its garbage

peak arch
#

hypixel is chicago

low solar
#

European so

peak arch
#

routing in chicago is notoriously dogshit in the US

low solar
#

not much different

peak arch
#

it is

#

there is a huge difference

#

there is literally an order of magnitude less 'stuff' in the way within canada compared to inland US networking

#

if u can traceroute to wynncraft vs an NFO/internap hosted chicago server you'll see what i mean

low solar
#

my point is

#

distance to america

#

distance to canada

#

its the same for me

peak arch
#

well yes

low solar
#

now if they chose a shitty location intra these locations

#

thats just a skill issue

peak arch
#

wait so do you have the same issue on wynncraft?

#

i thought you didnt

low solar
#

no

#

Wynncraft is silky smooth

#

no tps/no ping issues

#

hypickle I never know if my inputs are gonna be 5s delayed or not πŸ™‚

peak arch
#

ok yeah that makes sense then

#

that was my point

#

im not talking about ping or distance

low solar
#

Then move their servers

peak arch
#

the ping spikes going to hypixel are a side effect of something else

low solar
#

πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

peak arch
#

yeah i agree

#

but i can see why they dont

#

chicago is a major datacenter/hosting hub and there is TONS of available bandwidth

#

which helps mitigate ddos attacks as well

#

so for a server their size i can see why they do it

#

what they should do though

#

is just jump ship to AWS/HP/Google

#

and work out a realtime mirroring solution

#

im sure they can do it

low solar
#

But like

#

There's no way

#

'chicago'

peak arch
#

just a matter of the initial investment

low solar
#

is the reason why

#

people have

#

12x worse ping

#

than the same distance to canada

peak arch
#

not consistently though right? like its the ping spiking to unplayable levels and generally the connection being really unstable yeah?

#

your 'normal' ping isnt that different iirc
so the issue lies in something else, the most obvious candidate being routing, since vpns can alleviate it to a degree
if routing is the issue, i dont see it getting any better unless they change network infrastructure entirely

low solar
#

my normal ping is like

#

150-200

peak arch
#

or maybe they have some recent change that's made things a lot worse for players not on 1.8.9

low solar
#

to hypixel

peak arch
#

do any of the admins playtest 1.20

low solar
#

and its something in its 30s for wynncraft

peak arch
#

like obv they update stuff for modern version and there are bugfixes etc

#

but do they actually play

#

i imagine they dont do a lot of testing

#

maybe we can get toad to go complain to an admin

#

if we put together a detailed video showcase or something of how unplayable it is for everyone

wild fiber
#

if you talk about ping blackholes

peak arch
#

yeah but theyre all children bitching about internet issues when theyre on 450kb/s wifi

wild fiber
peak arch
#

i mean

#

it looks like not a whole lot of people even interacted with that post
