Empire 1.12 Update! World of Color - 6/23/17

Discussion in 'Empire Updates' started by Aikar, Jun 22, 2017.

  1. Mojang delayed 1.12 due to custom crafting. Later jeb said that custom crafting would come in 1.13. Last week jeb tweeted about 1.13.

    I see 1.13 entirely possible in 2 months(the beginnings of)
  2. Hmm, I have my doubts. You're right of course: they did announce it as a small (bugfix) update which should put the dot on the i. However... They're also planning on restructuring all block ID's in order to break the current 256 limit, block meta data is rumored to disappear entirely and with that we might see an expansion of blocks types.

    So... right now you'd set up "wool" as a block type and add a color attribute to define the color. In the next release that might be changed into a separate block type: red_wool. This may sound simple enough but that's just the catch: many things which may seem very easy can in fact be extremely hard to set up.

    And that makes me somewhat doubt that it'll be very quick (though I know that much work has already been put into all this). The snapshots may come out quick enough, but something tells me we're going to get a tiresome testing period.

  3. I think it will come fast because they were planning to do that system for 1.12, but troubles came so they postponed it to 1.13 .

    Another factor is that these 2 months are summer, so they will prob update during this time
  4. well this update did include changes to the crafting system....

  5. Can I be the first to say I absolutely hate this recipe book. I always accidentally bump it. I haven't found a way to disable it. D:
  6. I love it. It pretty much takes the place of macro mod for the most part. Its about time they added it.

  7. I think you may be referring more to those announcements than the system itself, right? So; you pick up a block and wham.. new recipe unlocked.

    It doesn't bother me too much but you are right that it can get a bit tiresome to see that same popup appear every time you visit another server and pick something up. Maybe they'll add an option in 1.13 to hide these ;)

  8. Yes I was more referring to the recipe book button... and considering I didn't even read into the update itself to figure out what the recipe book was, was silly of me.. :oops: The announcements do get frustrating though lol

  9. Soon as I get time, I think ill look into synchronizing Advancements between the servers...
  10. So, that's like "never" but with a sugary layer of false hope, right?
  11. Pretty sure that 'sugary layer' is also just Splenda, so not even a real false hope ;)

    (Edit: Dev team has actually been doing quite a bit of work behind the scenes, so even if it doesn't seem like anything is being done, still lots of stuff being improved :D. The bug fixes that caused the server restart tonight are a good example of that.)

  12. Naah. I've seen likewise comments before and then when you didn't see it coming wham. Aikar has (briefly) mentioned a few more options for the compass before. Here we are.

    I know for a fact that either Aikar or Chickeneer (but IMO their comments count as those from the dev. team) hinted at maybe looking into ways to treat animals more like pets. Found it: it was Chickeneer who hinted at other options for pets. But a post in the same line as Aikar's here I think. Well... here we are; players can take parrots with them everywhere they go.

    Sometimes things do really happen :)

  13. Last night we sent out some miscellaneous bug fixes.
    Some issues with shops with concrete powder naming was changed.
    Also resolved a conversion vault from the update.

    Certain items (book/other) with the sweeping(edge) enchant were messed up during the update. You can check on them and send me a message if they are wrong. I will ask you to clarify certain details about the item; then shall get them fixed up right away :)

  14. Soo... Let's say I go out exploring with my little parrot friend on my shoulder, and I die.. What happens to the parrot? Is he dead? Is he still on my shoulder? Is he left with my things? Might be a stupid question, but I'm curious.

  19. Somehow I forgot to check out the 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12 songs, so I just watched them.
    And if I forgot, some of you might've too... so here's the 1.12 one, as it's probably most appropriate for this thread. ;)
