Vanilla Changes

We have changed a few things from Vanilla, from redstone and hoppers to more subtle balancing tweaks. Here's a complete list of our changes.

Fortune only triggers on diamonds half the time for eco balancing reasons
- This effectively reduces the bonuses from fortune by half.
- When fortune occurs, a sparkle sound (amethyst step) plays.
Elytras are disabled and cannot be used for flying
When you die, a message appears in chat telling you your death location.
Mobs spawned from spawners have no AI, except in the Nether
Global sounds, such as Ender Dragon, Wither, and End Portal sounds, only sound off locally.
"Low value" items despawn in 15 seconds
- All leaves, sand, dirt, raw stones (not ore blocks), vines, netherrack, cactus, gravel

We use the Alternate Current redstone engine on Paper.
Hopper update and transfer speeds are reduced via config to levels that may be changed at any time.
- Our levels as of Oct 21, 2023 are hopper-transfer: 8 and hopper-check: 8
Only 4 hopper minecarts can exist per chunk at any time to avoid abuse.
- Additional minecarts will not be saved when the chunk unloads.
Hoppers will take slightly longer to tick when they're full
Armor Stands do not tick

Villagers do not naturally spawn in the world
- If you don't have villagers, please buy villager spawn eggs.
Villagers are not usable within 500 blocks of world spawn

Villagers used to previously not be breedable, but they now can be.
- This may change in future seasons!
Natural zombie villagers do not spawn at night
The maximum discount you can get in trades is 40%
Diamond armor and tools themselves are removed from all trade tables
Trades involving diamonds cannot be discounted
Raids cannot be triggered near spawn
