I'd like to put on record thanks to Cora for her work and dedication as a maintainer of the project through a challenging period of time. There are big shoes to fill. I hope I can do the role justice.


Hotfix Release 0.81.1

Due to some server performance issues raised in the last release, we have investigated this and put in a fix for it as a hotfix which is now available on ContentDB. Thanks to rollerozxa and MatthiasZM for their help in getting to the bottom of this.

If there are issues, please let us know.

I'm again working on my texture pack for MCL2. If anyone wants to help feel free to reach out to me so more work can progress on it. I'm hoping to make a texture pack relatively close to Minecraft's.

Is there a custom setting to not change respawn if bed is destroyed? I have a house far away from spawn and a creeper destroyed my bed and killed me. I have a hard time getting back to my house everytime.

Not at the moment. Might be an idea to add though.

Hi, I;m playing the current mineclone (0.81.1)
I got to the end. a few of the pillars did not have a crystal on them, but I destroyed the crystals that were there. I did damage to the ender dragon, till it was down to 75% health, then it flew off/disappeared when I was behind a pillar.
I built a tall tower and saw it in the distance, then it went away.
how can I kill the dragon when it flys away?. is this a bug?. I've waited for half an hour and it is still nowhere in sight.
any ideas on what to do?
many thanks.

Kind of working as intended, I think.
Trapdoors act as ladders when open, try sneaking/crouching.

You may have to back away a little so the game notices you're not trying to sneak while standing on the rim of the door. Somewhat tricky at times to get it just right, especially in one-block spaces like this.
If it doesn't hurt aesthetics too much, I occasionally place an additional, permanently open trapdoor just right above the actual one, so you bump into that and get aligned correctly to slide down the other one.

Hi all, I'm proud to announce the release of 0.82.0.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8qo-F4IK2w

Here are the release notes:

Important notes

Due to a much needed dye refactor, the following items have been added:

"mcl_bone_meal:bone_meal"
"mcl_mobitems:ink_sac"
"mcl_core:lapis"
"mcl_cocoas:cocoa_beans"

Due to this, those items now appear as dye (which they were named as in the backend. e.g. Lapis was called mcl_dye:blue). We have added new crafting recipes in so that users can convert their dye back to those items. We will be leaving these recipes in for a period of time (3 - 6 months), so it is best to convert your old lapis back into lapis from blue dye as soon as you can.

Zombie siege raids will be turned off by default. Once we resolve a bug where zombies will path through doors causing a blood bath, we will readd these in, but your villager's safety is a priority (ish) to us. If you feel like living dangerously, or are of sadistic disposition / simply hate villagers, you can still turn these back on...

Huh, I'm curious, if there's old lapis and new lapis and the old is going away, is there any reason you don't just use an alias to auto-convert them instead of having players turn it into dye and back?

The old one (lapis) was actually named mcl_dye:blue, and mcl_dye:blue was used where lapis should have been. Old lapis was consistent with what we wanted blue dye to be named. It should have been a separate item the whole time but unfortunately wasn't, so we've created lapis, and changed mcl_dye:blue icon to be blue dye rather than lapis.

It's technically the correct change, but not ideal, so we added a crafting recipe so folk can convert it back to lapis.

Technical debt like this isn't fun, but sometimes there isn't a great option for it.

I've edited my original comment to make it a little clearer. Thanks for the question/suggestion.

Re: [Game] MineClone 2 [0.82.0]

Hi! I want to share my experience/challenges with running MineClone 2 on a cloud server, and see if anyone can help me troubleshoot :)

TL;DR:
I was able to get Minetest 5.4.1 running with MineClone2 0.76.0. However, I could NOT get Minetest 5.6.0 running with Mineclone2 0.82.0

Context: I want to set up a Minetest server in the cloud for me and my friends to play. I want to use cloud hosting rather than self-hosting on a local device, because my internet connection is spotty, and I want the server to have reliable uptime.

Cloud: I used Oracle's free cloud service, because it's free, and gives you 4 powerful ARM Ampere CPUs, and 24 GB of RAM https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/. I'm running Ubuntu Linux 22.04 on this Virtual Private Server (VPS).

Problems: There are two problems with this setup:
1. Minetest doesn't provide a self-contained Minetest zip folder on Linux, unlike Windows. So in order to run a Minetest server, I would have to get an outdated version from the repositories, or compile Minetest myself.
2. I'm starting to suspect that the ARM architecture is causing my problems. I've been able to run a Minetest server on my AMD-based laptop without issues.

Failures and Successes:

After setting up Ubuntu on my Oracle Cloud server, I've tried all of the following to get my Minetest server running:

Failure 1: I tried compiling Minetest 5.6.0 on my Oracle Cloud VPS, and running it with Mineclone2 0.82.0.
I chose these versions because they were listed on this Mineclone2 release thread as compatible: viewtopic.php?t=16407

Result: My friends and I can connect and play Mineclone2, but the server consistently crashes during the 1st night. We checked the debug.txt logs in the Minetest folder, but didn't find anything useful.

Here's an example of the segmentation fault crash that happened. All the crashes mentioned below showed a similar message:
Spoiler

Code: Select all

2023-01-23 10:25:59: ACTION[Server]: [mcl_mobs] Mob mobs_mc:spider despawns at (-5.7,-21.5,39.8) lifetimer ran out
2023-01-23 10:26:01: ACTION[Server]: [mcl_mobs] Mob mobs_mc:skeleton spawns on mcl_core:granite at (-7.0,-5.0,14.0)
2023-01-23 10:26:01: WARNING[Server]: [mcl_mobs] mob mobs_mc:enderman refused to spawn at (-7,-5,14)
2023-01-23 10:26:03: ACTION[Server]: [mcl_mobs] Mob mobs_mc:enderman despawns at (-7.8,-23.1,44.0) lifetimer ran out
2023-01-23 10:26:18: ACTION[Server]: [mcl_mobs] Mob mobs_mc:creeper despawns at (-21.9,1.7,-41.4) lifetimer ran out
2023-01-23 10:26:23: ACTION[Server]: [mcl_mobs] Mob mobs_mc:zombie despawns at (44.2,1.5,38.5) lifetimer ran out
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Minetest game works without crashing.

Failure 2: I tried compiling Minetest 5.5.1 on my Oracle Cloud VPS, and running it with Mineclone2 0.80.1.
I chose these versions because they were listed on this Mineclone2 release thread as compatible: viewtopic.php?t=16407

Result: Mineclone2 was stable when I played as the only person on the server. But when my friends joined the server, it crashed after about 23 minutes. It ran longer without crashing than with Minetest 5.6.0 and Mineclone2 0.82.0.

Failure 3: I tried compiling Minetest 5.4.1 on my Oracle Cloud VPS.

Result: I didn't even get to run the server because it had build errors.

Failure 4: I tried compiling Minetest 5.6.0 on my Oracle Cloud VPS, and tried to run it with Mineclone2 0.80.1.

Result: The server kept immediately crashing.

Success 1: I tried installing Minetest 5.4.1 via Ubuntu's repositories

Code: Select all

sudo apt install minetest-server
on my Oracle Cloud VPS, and tried to run it with Mineclone2 0.76.0.

Result: My friends and I were able to play without crashing for ~ 7 hours straight.

Success 2: I tried compiling Minetest 5.6.0 on my own laptop, and running it with Mineclone2 0.82.0. I did this as a direct comparison to the Failure 1 (on my Oracle Cloud server).

Result: My friends and I were able to play without crashing for ~ 4 hours straight. This shows that I was following the compiling directions correctly, but it still wasn't working on my Oracle Cloud server for some reason.

Observations:

- When the server does crash, it either crashes immediately, or during the first night. I'm not sure if the crashing has something to do with monsters spawning, but that's a consistent pattern. I posted this here because the server versions that crashed when running with Mineclone2 seemed to work fine with Minetest game.
- I was able to get Minetest 5.6.0 and Mineclone2 0.82.0 running without crashes on my personal laptop. These same versions consistently crashed on my Oracle Cloud server.

Please help:

I know my setup is pretty niche (running on an ARM-based cloud server), but I was so excited to get my friends off Minecraft and onto the FOSS Minetest, and I want to be able to play with the latest version and feature updates to Minetest and Mineclone2.

I'd really appreciate your help! :)

- i needed to use the jua version shiped with minetest or it also crash immediately

Because there are no details about the crash, we can't tell what triggers it. You should definitely try the latest stable Minetest release - 5.6.1. If even that one crashes without any helpful information, this should be reported in the Minetest issue tracker, so the developers can look into this. It could even be some compiler flag that needs toggling, so make sure you follow their readme closely, just in case.

Also running a MineClone2 instance on Oracle Free Tier aarch64 server, I run AlmaLinux 9.1 and rebuilt the fedora rpm using mock, runs great!

Is there a necessary step to summoning the ender dragon to fight, or should it happen by itself upon entering the end?

And another thing:

In the End, especially farther out in the outer End Islands, there are random groups chunks that have shadows hanging over them to various intensities.

Some have what seem to be a little bit of shadow, and others are completely shadowed. Yet, there doesn't seem to be any objects causing this (especially with how they seem to occupy chunks only and not form independent objects)

hi, I tried to create an account to report some issues but the account verifier is not sending the email, which prevents me reporting anything. my address is a googlemail.com one, so nothing fancy, and there's nothing in spam. is it something that can be fixed, or should I just report issues here instead.?

pistons don't move most containers. eg chest, furnace. they do move a smoker. it would be useful for redstone creations if they could move chests and furnaces, and anvils etc. interestingly you get the xp from smoking food when a piston moves the smoker.

yes the game is getting better and better and i heard WUZZY has left

infinite sadness as he was a GATEWAY to the fields of passion

but if there is a new BOSS maybe he can help upgrade our technology as it is always key to success

no matter if the fields are growing carrots, or skeletons
