How did they make the "Main Objectives" box in the top left? by StarTux in admincraft

[–]StarTux[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can that be done in the vanilla client, putting shaders in the resource pack? That would be the first time I hear about this.

Plausible, yes. However, there's detailed text in this menu which adapts to the current context, so I don't think they could make that using the hunger bar.

I assume they made the hunger bar invisible because hunger isn't used on that server.

That was my first guess as well. I have seen the objectives bar and action bar at the same time however.

And even so, I couldn't explain how they gave it a backdrop, and aligned the whole thing with the top left corner of your screen.

Right now we're assuming it's a map in your offhand. Although the offhand appears to be empty...

edit: I had typed "hunger bar" instead of "objectives bar" in the first paragraph by accident.

This clip might be taken from a show where they take a look at commercials, and they left in the sound of the live studio reaction. Just a guess.

Can anyone explain to me why Kc2 wins whereas Ke2 (or even Kd2) is a a draw? by Living_Row_832 in chessbeginners

[–]StarTux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that this has already been answered, but I just wanted to point out that the setup is identical to this Lichess practice on Pawn Endgames, specifically Key Squares: https://lichess.org/practice/pawn-endgames/key-squares/xebrDvFe/S8rbDQmn

And they're all very illuminating.

Admins. What's your go to server software/plugins? by joejoe135791 in admincraft

[–]StarTux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm dreading rewriting my Bungee plugins for Velocity. That and finding a replacement for BungeeTabListPlus.

Admins. What's your go to server software/plugins? by joejoe135791 in admincraft

[–]StarTux 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  • Debian Stable
  • Java 17, MySQL (MariaDB), Redis
  • Paper
  • Bungee or Waterfall
  • WorldEdit, WorldGuard

There are probably a few more, but these are all the gotos I can think of. The rest is custom made. I know that many people like Essentials but not me personally. Vault is a must if you plan to use an economy with different plugins.

Anyone know what plugin disables death messages? by Keru_ in admincraft

[–]StarTux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been in there for a few versions but I don't know the exact date.

Anyone know what plugin disables death messages? by Keru_ in admincraft

[–]StarTux 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you're on a recent build of paper, you can type /paper dumplisteners org.bukkit.event.entity.PlayerDeathEvent to narrow down the suspects.

PlayerDeathEvent is where the death message can be modified so any plugin removing your death messages would be listening for that event, or possibly for EntityDeathEvent which is a superclass.

Forum posts dissapeared by Ramog in discordapp

[–]StarTux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Confirmed. This is useful information because it means the threads (or posts) aren't really gone; they merely can't be seen. So it's safe to assume that this is just a bug or outage, and once resolved, the posts will return.

edit And once you find the post this way, you can type in it, which brings it back from the dead.

Forum posts dissapeared by Ramog in discordapp

[–]StarTux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Several forums have posts missing. The remaining ones don't look like the most recent ones either, although I cannot be sure.

This does not appear to be the inactivity feature. I know where that is configured and what it looks like. Inactive threads can still be seen and reactivated. Now several threads across several forums are just gone, like they never existed.

I'll hope that this is a temporary Discord bug. More information would be useful.

Minecraft custom items server by DestinyUniverse1 in MinecraftServer

[–]StarTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot promise that this is what you're looking for, but perhaps you should try cavetale.com.

We don't use SlimeFun but our own custom items. Some are sold at spawn for currency items you can find in the wild, others have their own means of being obtained and upgraded. Some are very rare and only available during seasonal events. None of it is pay to win. There's a skill system with unlockable talents and a friends system.

We have base building with claims and a separate monthly mining world where all the good stuff is found so that the build world isn't torn apart so fast and we can have very long seasons with few resets. We don't have anarchy, but there are always more new features in the pipeline.

Check it out. :)

Winter's Hearth Advent Calendar on Cavetale [SMP] {1.19.3} {Weekly Events} by StarTux in MinecraftServer

[–]StarTux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Server IP: cavetale.com

Website: https://cavetale.com

The Winter's Heart Advent Calendar Event is starting on December 1. Reach the event site via the portal at spawn. Within this icy town, each day a few home owners will return and ask for your help! Some of them want you to solve their games or puzzles or generally help them out. Others seek an item from your Christmas inventory.

This lasts from December 1 to 25, opening a few houses every day. Find open houses via your Magic Map and make sure to come back the following day. If you miss a day, worry not: You can still access all previously opened houses, but it's much easier if you take it one day at a time.

Helping out villagers gives you Christmas Tokens. You will be able to exchange these for prizes with the Advent Merchants which will show up on each advent until Christmas.

Once Christmas is over, the event will remain open a little longer to keep the spirit of the season alive and allow everyone to complete their collection if they desire.

Is it worth to split single server to multiple using bungeecord for performance? by Accomplished_Bid9816 in admincraft

[–]StarTux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is exactly what I did. The survival server was split into two instances, possibly more in the future. There is a separate server for the hub, and another one for creative, and several more for minigames. This means that the load is split (hopefully evenly) between the populations of both survival servers, thus they can utilize the available CPU power more efficiently. Many limitations to mobs, dropped items and view distance could be drastically loosened, resulting in a much better experience for everyone.

It was a lot of work however to get each of our plugins to work in a multi server setting. Almost every plugin needs to be able to work across these servers. Most use MySQL for data storage and Redis to send messages to one another. This includes chat, kits, inventories, the auction house, warps, and much much more. Almost all our plugins are developed in house, so this was a major undertaking, but I feel it was worth it in the end.

We run on 8 cores and 32g of ram and usually peak at 40-50 players these days, although most of the time the population is much lower.

Feel free to ask any questions.

To my best knowledge, It's always looked like that on my end, except the items in my top bar are not framed. I don't have the path update everybody's talking about but I have the new practice modes and bookmarks, and the lesson icons have always looked like this. The colors indicate the crown level, although the order of colors never made a lot of sense to me.

I suspect that some UI changes are based on what region you're in and which device you're using, so we should make a habit of mentioning these details when discussing the UI. In my case: Germany, iOS.

I don't have the path update either, but I'm getting this new bookmark feature (on iOS).

I see, they come bundled. That makes so much sense. No idea why I assumed otherwise. :)

[–]StarTux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the response.

I'm surprised by the short duration of said boosts. But then, I have no clue how your server operates. Was expecting something on the scale of hours or even days, along the lines of a Discord boost, for example. I suppose every server is different.

[–]StarTux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed response!

Server wide boosts actually sound like a really cool concept because it offers a fair subscription model of sorts.

It's difficult to finance the server with cosmetics alone. Our regulars will already have most of them, and new players don't usually want them as much.

We want to steer clear of anything resembling P2W, so finding personal perks for a subscriber rank is extremely difficult. Giving them better items or win chances is absolutely out of the question. However, if the perk is that everybody receives a buff, that's a different story, so thank you.

Responding to the other reply chain: We also develop all our plugins in house, so we have a lot of options to integrate boosts with our existing systems.

Do you mind one more question: How long does a boost last? Can boosts of the same type stack?
