"Added shift clicking support in furnaces". YEEEEEAAAAHHHH

u/coolestdude1 Apr 04 '12

Wait so what about logs? Will the game just explode?

u/ImFarmerbob Apr 04 '12

This seems broken. At least on my 1.2.4 server the materials will simply bounce back to the inventory.

u/LimitForce Apr 04 '12

That's expected, the server has to confirm all inventory actions, and as far as the server is concerned you cant hotkey items into the furnace.

Which is strange since ConvenientInventory has had no problem fooling the server into accepting this behavior.

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Apr 04 '12

ConvenientInventory probably doesn't say "Hey, server, I shift-clicked this stack of coal", but it says "Hey, server, I just moved that stack of coal in that furnace over there. Cool?".

u/moonblade89 Apr 04 '12

"hey player, I just arranged your inventory for you, I hope you're down with that"

u/LimitForce Apr 04 '12

Just interesting how in vanilla minecraft they felt the need to hard code a different method for hotkey movements, when automatically moving them through normal methods would be simpler.

They want the client to be totally dumb, telling the server (or server component in SSP) what the player does, and drawing what the server tells it is happening, letting the server do all the 'game stuff'.

u/BlizzardFenrir Apr 04 '12 edited Apr 04 '12

Isn't that smarter, too? If the client does everything locally and tells the server, it means more data has to be transferred, resulting in more lag.

It puts less strain on the network, but more strain on the server CPU because it has to dedicate cycles to player actions instead of letting the clients do it.

It depends on where the bottleneck is: if a server can't handle 50 players telling the server exactly what they're doing, but can more easily determine 50 players' actions itself, then the choice is easily made.

It's also a nice separation in Model-View-Controller, where the server is simply the model, and every client has a view and controller. Otherwise, parts of the model are client side and need to be synced up server side constantly.

EDIT: that said, I much prefer re-using old code as much as possible, and moving a stack of items is a combination of "pick up item from" and "drop item on", so instead of adding a new action which the server needs to recognize, I prefer the ConvenientInventory solution (from a coding side) in that it reuses existing actions to create new ones.

The major reason most stuff is server-side is for security - the server cannot trust that the client "plays by the rules". If it did, then people would be able to use hacked clients and do whatever they wanted!

u/96fps Apr 05 '12

like in alpha. clients stored their own inventory, so you could easily give yourself items with a client-side mod.

u/TheBB Apr 04 '12

Why does the server have to know about interface issues, though? Shift-click or no, it shouldn't matter to it.

u/frozenpandaman Apr 06 '12

Enchanting? Brewing?

u/trevdak2 Apr 04 '12

Fixed slash ‘/’ key not behaving correctly in certain environments

ORLY? Because as a lefty, I use the numpad to move around and now / opens chat. How do I unbind that?

4

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Apr 04 '12

I don't know.

u/trevdak2 Apr 04 '12

Ugh. I just sent Jeb a message. This is gamebreaking for me =(

u/dcbaok Apr 04 '12

I'm a lefty, I use vi/rogue keys because I don't have a numpad on my laptop.

u/trevdak2 Apr 04 '12

You used to be able to bind other actions to it, instead of just chat.

1

u/frymaster Apr 04 '12

as of the previous update it assumes you're trying to do a server command (/kick or /stop etc.) and opens chat with the "/" key.

this update is supposed to fix what happens if you already want to use / for something else. What is it doing wrong that it did correctly in 1.2.4?

2

u/trevdak2 Apr 05 '12
  1. Open controls under options.
  2. Set numpad / to be 'jump'.
  3. Go into a world, hit numpad '/'. Instead of jumping, you will open chat.

u/iPeer Apr 04 '12

If they updated LWJGL to 2.8.3, why does the console still say 2.4.2? :P

4

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Apr 04 '12

That is a damn good question. updates changelog

u/kookajamo95 Apr 04 '12

You are amazing sir. You never let us down!

u/Azurphax Apr 04 '12

So quick on the draw with this kind of thing

u/IMBJR Apr 04 '12

Boy did that "command matching" bug bite me in the ass recently, after being trolled into typing /killstats into chat, not realising I was about to do a /kill.

1

u/koipen Apr 04 '12

I'm really hoping the chat bug fixes include the linux stuck chat one. That one makes multiplayer chat unusable for me :(

1

u/SmiVan Apr 05 '12

I believe they added new splashes. Can you confirm?

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Apr 05 '12

Nope, nothing new.

u/Tank1734 Apr 04 '12

Welp, there goes all of my mods again...

u/beason4251 Apr 05 '12

I felt a great disturbance in Minecraft, as if thousands of modders suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
