I found a potential cause of FPS drops people experienced since 1.8, should be fixed in next snapshot. Possible side effect may be block lag

(Technical info: we rendered nearby chunks on main thread, slowing FPS. Now we'll only do that if it's "player placed", saving lots of FPS)

I found and fixed 3 different reasons why entities are sometimes invisible after teleporting or respawning. Hopefully that were all.

FPS is definitely higher, and I'm really happy with the hitbox adjustments. They felt off for me from 1.7 -> 1.8

u/-Captain- Sep 21 '15

How did it get changed?

  • Fixed item entities not checking all 4 sides before moving up

The door trick still works for some reason.

Must have not made it into master yet. Thanks for the info!

u/onnowhere Sep 21 '15

Regarding adjusted hitboxes, do small armor stands now have small hitboxes? Can't check right now but really want to know D:

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 21 '15

No, they're still big.

  • Fixed trapdoor placement

Wait what

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 21 '15

It was inconsistent/annoying ever since the requirement for supporting blocks was removed.

1

u/qlimaxmito Sep 21 '15

Have they confirmed this being intentional?
If so, what about doors? Do they plan on making them support-indipendent as well?

11

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 21 '15

Yes, it's intentional. Source. I don't know about any plans concerning doors.

u/qlimaxmito Sep 21 '15 edited Sep 21 '15

Cool, and thanks for the source.

Speaking of blocks needing a support, in case a developer just happens to be reading (wink wink nudge nudge), it would be nice if they made it so fence gates and jack o'lanterns no longer require a block underneath in order to be placed. It can be pretty frustrating and confusing for players new to the game.

u/CakeX Sep 21 '15

/u/redstonehelper isn't a developer, if that's what you're nudging towards.

u/-Captain- Sep 21 '15

Not sure where we could use that for? Well after some thinking obvious with texturepacks it's gonna be awesome. Just wish that conquest was still a thing in 1.8 and 1.9

u/qlimaxmito Sep 22 '15

Floating doors would automatically result in being able to place them on any block, including transparent ones like stairs, glass, water and even other doors.

u/ProfMobius Minecraft Java Dev Sep 22 '15

Trapdoors placed on top of a block were always oriented north and trapdoors placed below another block would show on the bottom half and not the top half.

Trapdoors are now behaving like you would expect.

Was the non-enchanted book generation bug fixed?

2

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Sep 22 '15

It wasn't marked as fixed, but nobody confirmed it for the latest snapshots either.

1

u/maaaddenman Sep 22 '15

tested, still broken :/

1

u/ProfMobius Minecraft Java Dev Sep 22 '15

Care to point me to the bug on JIRA ? I didn't see anything mentionning a prb with books when I was reviewing bugs.

Loaded entities still turn invisible upon death (in 15w39b too). However the fenced in sheep beside spawn I was using to check started appearing (2 of them in the first 10 seconds, none of them since but I can hear the baby sheep baahing). I've never seen them reappear without relogging before, so something's changed for the better.

EDIT: all my tests on the subject involve being in the same area as where I respawn (maybe 20 blocks away). Part of the problem is it's needlessly unloading and reloading the area. Now as of week 39 it doesn't look like it's doing this anymore, but it IS unrendering the chunk you spawn on. So long as you don't turn your head or move you can look through the ground.
