[Zz] Zurvival Changelog

[Zedwick]

Some new and updated features for Zesty Subscribers, and new claim commands for all!

Zesty Subscribers:

• Added Zesty Arrow Trailʑ
• Use /at to select particle trail when firing arrow from your bow (currently just the Zesty trail available, more to follow)
• Quick deposit into chests now uses shift+LEFT-click (instead of right) to avoid accidentally depositing items into chests when attempting to build near (or up against) chests.

Claims:

• Improved claim management where water is involved - now much easier to create claims on water and resize claims when the corner to be adjusted is on water.
• Ensured players who place minecarts on another player's track can get their carts back by only allowing cart placement when the placer has permission to remove minecarts in that same location.
• Fixed shift-click with stick finding too many claims.
• Added /Claim command to create a land claim centred around your current location.
• Create your first claim using /claim without the need for a golden shovel, however all subsequent claims will need one in your hand.
• Added /ExtendClaim command to change the size of a land claim or subdivision, especially handy for scenarios like claiming a mountain or extending a land claim into a solid wall as in an underground build, where getting into position to right-click a claim corner block is inconvenient.
• To use /ExtendClaim, stand in the claim you want to change, face the direction you want to change, and then specify the amount like /ExtendClaim 5 or /ExtendClaim -2. It even works with diagonals.
• Like the /Claim command, you will have to hold a golden shovel in hand to use /ExtendClaim.
• Equipping a golden shovel while you're standing inside a claim you own will automatically show you the boundaries of your claim, so you can skip the stick right-click to find your corners.

Regions:

• Region names can now have capital letters after the first, for example "BigHill”.

Misc:

• Tweaked the monster spawner speed limit to stop shutting-down monster grinders which aren't out of control.

I have to say, I love the perks for Zesty subscribers. The arrow trails are cool and good job changing the left click to depositing items into chests as I have done this a lot by mistake. Thanks Zed.

A perhaps subtle addition of naturally forming paths beneath your feet!

Desire Paths

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path
• Natural dirt paths now form along well travelled routes

Previously

• Removed winter

Let us know if you spot any Desire Paths forming, a screenshot or two would surely be welcome

Claims:

• Fixed protected animals taking damage from explosive mine carts
• Fixed killer bunnies being protected in land claims as if they were passive animals
• Players with with less than 10,000 claim blocks who have not logged on in the last 60 days will have their claims expire.
• Fixed TNT mine carts being placeable without /containertrust
• Reduce threshold for muting join/leave messages, to combat log-spam

Regions:

• When teleporting via region post, anything on a lead held by you, any animal following you (because you’re holding bait), and any nearby pet belonging to you will come along for the ride.

Server performance:

• Now removing abandoned farm animals. Pets (horses, cats, dogs) are never removed, nor are any animals with nameplates. Two of each type will always be left, to allow for rebreeding them later if the owner returns. Each time a player successfully interact with an animal (right click), the “abandoned” counter resets. The abandoned counter does NOT move when the animal is not loaded, so “abandoned” animals which aren’t really costing the server any CPU cycles will not be removed.
  
• Other performance tweaks
  
• Added sound when disabling redstone as part of a potential clock. This, with the particle effects, should make it easier to identify where the breakage is occurring.
  
• Tweaked threshold for disabling redstone as part of clocks to be much gentler.

Zesty Subscribers:

• Zesties can now rest their tired old legs by sitting!
  
• Use /sit anywhere to sit where you stand.

[Zedwick]

Claims:

• Land claims owned by players who have not been online in the last 6 months, and who have not played 15 hours to make Zedling, will now expire.
• If you find an unclaimed build, you can request a Guardian if they would consider removing it so the land can be claimed and built on by another player.
• To request the build be removed: /helpme Please remove this unclaimed build
• Whilst any unclaimed build may be considered for removal, their removal is not guaranteed.

[Zedwick]

General:

• Fixed villagers not breeding/farming. (mobGriefing is now true, returning Zurvival to how it should be, or used to be)
• Fixed not being able to /trust all Seedlings (/trust group.zedling)
