New Today On Civcraft

• No Changes to Civcraft today

New Today on Civtest

• Updated Humbug, properly scaled bow buff is now online, please test it out.

• I placed a new Burricos chest spawning command block near Civtest spawn, please us it to generate the chests you need to test burricos.

• Updated Burricos, this new version should be significantly more resilient to server crashes in addition to being less reliant on Humbug, I would greatly appreciate it if people headed over there to test.

Bugs And Development Focus

• After seeing how the bowbuff worked in testing its seems that we need to modify the buff so that it's buff scales down as you make your way from power5 all the way down to the lowest level some suggested scaling values are here.

• In response to the buffing of bows projectile prot also needs to be buffed significantly, enough to be useful in a combat situation with archers as a major issue. This should hopefully help to diversify away from a single best configuration.

• latest developer log

• Civdisease!!!!!!

ttk2's thinking corner

• I still need development feedback on, the new burricos method (and possibly its interactions with prisonpearl), The humbug bow scaling currently on Civtest and I would like to hear everyone's experiences with Directional JukeAlert levers on the main server.

• Since we are at this point running our own Spigot, we should probably patch in somthing to make tile entity ticks more efficient since that seems to be most of the lag right now, I know Pruby had a proposal and even code for that which he submitted upstream, but I think somthing perhaps less dramatic got in.

• I also still require feedback on Wither spawning on Civcraft itself since I modified the setting a few days ago, are things back to the pre 1.7.10 norm or not?

• I would like to remind everyone of why Civcraft insists on using open source plugins with clear licences and why I spent a month or so way back when sorting out the license for all of our repositories, by the way new repositories on the Github/Civcraft/ repo should have a license.txt with the MIT license inside.

• Walls of text can be hard to write, they eventually start to tie into so many things that you are trying to transfer a state of mind into words, it does not translate well. I will bang my head against this one for a few more days.

• Moto 360 NSA report, almost useless, the power budget is so small that the screen only turns on when it detects proper gyroscope movement to think you are looking at it. The always listening is only running when the screen is on, I don't think it has sufficient power budget to always listen for variable keywords and make any useful recordings. Its a hugely less efficient solution than say, trawling all communications coming in and out of a persons phone.
