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.
Gameplay
- 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.
Redstone
- 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
- Villagers do not naturally spawn in the world
- If you don't have villagers, please buy villager spawn eggs.
- 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, tools, and diamonds themselves are removed from all trade tables
- Raids cannot be triggered near spawn
