  • Make the portal not be in walls when going to a location. IF not possible make it place the portal to a nearby air block within 1 block radius of the original portal location on the same y level.
  • Make the portal to be at angled placements instead of being strictly angled to North, South, East, and West. For example, if the player uses tempad to get to location and is angled 45 degrees North. The portal to the location will be right in front of it without snapping to any of the the 4 cardinal directions.

Another thing. Fix the tempad exploit. Fizz is hosting a modded smp and found a way to bypass the tempad cooldown.

#

Not sure how but by changing a setting you can bypass the tempad cooldown

thats not an exploit, one of the config files lets you specify whether the tempad uses XP a cooldown, or nothing. if they changed it to nothing because they want their tempads to work like that thats fine its just a personal preference and gameplay option for server owners.

yet people can bypass that

#

Ik the configs files do that

#

if their client configs are different it is possible to over ride that I believe

hmm ok i mean i guess that is an exploit but if you’re going out of the way to set your clock ahead to cheat isn’t that just cheating like why should the devs worry about that? if people want to cheat they will cheat i fee like

“going out of your way … to cheat isn’t that just cheating”

#

yes cheating is cheating?

prime estuary
#

so how is it a bug? they went out of their way to bypass an intentional feature

paper hazel
#

like for example school homework deadlines

#

some people change their local time to have more time to turn it in

#

you shouldn’t be able to do that

prime estuary
#

right but point is why are they going out of the way to set their system clocks ahead? It is obtuse to think that because a player can go out of their way and change their computers system settings to bypass a time feature that devs should go out of their way to stop them. It’s not the devs jobs to make people not cheat. If this bug were affecting players who were just playing the game and not messing with their system clock then thats a different story but why should the devs waste time trying to stop people cheating? if they want to cheat they will cheat.

I agree this is an exploit, Im just not sure its the best use of dev’s time
