Topics

A Question about the Resource Dimension - Neytan269

How old is it and why is it so hard to find Mangrove Swamp? Zedwick pointed out that the resource world was many months old now and the he should probably wipe it. Zedwick suddenly announced it will reset in 2 weeks! (Remind Zedwick of this at next meeting). So vacate the world before then. (Someone forgot their claimed parrot?)

A Question of View - TheMrPayne

The question was what happened to view distance, some people have been wondering. They assume it's tied to the server but would like an explanation. Mr Payne argues that the view distance on single player worlds and other server is fine, but on Zedwork it's limited. One problem is the nether, which we believe is due to the Fog that changed in 1.19.
Zedwick said that nothing was intentionally changed for view distance on Zedwork with 1.19, but two changes in recent versions may have made it feel like it had changed. The simulation distance and entity render distance has changed to be affected by the view distance, although it can also be hanged in the server settings separately too. And the fog is no longer a square but a circule/cylindar around the player, so the corner of the chunks around you will be cut off.
Zedwick has now increased the view distance slightly to compensate, which will take effect after the next server reboot. Might be lowered again if more players start to come online. Let Zedwick know how it feels by next meeting.

Loaded Chunks - Forseth

Once we had issues with loaded chunks in oceans that filled the spawn cap for squids, causing them to be rare on the server. Now that we have lower Y values, is those chunk still spawning mobs?
Zedwick couldn't confirm whether this was an issue or not, but would fill in the newly discovered area anyway.

Possible Bridgeburg Building Competition - Neytan269

As Neytan is back from a burnout, they are continuing their duties as a Mayor. Since the population of Bridgeburg is low and most buildings are made by the mayor, they will soon host a build competition. As for the area itself, it's coming together with streetlamps, decorations and next project will be an actual farm. But for now, preparation of a future build competition is underway, with some fancy prices promised.

These Old Walls - DarthDuck84

DarthDuck84 reminded everyone that the event to decorate the boring old walls of the beginner farm area is still going on, and that there are still some walls left to decorate. If you want to decorate a wall then come on down, and if you already decorated a wall but want to do it again, then it's ok too.
