    is it against the rules though... do noob guards need to screenshot everyone’s searched inventory or do we take their word

     

    No you make a good point. We will change it so that the items transfer to your ender chest instead.

    So as you said items are returned, what If there are more items than an inventory full, aka too many items to hold ?

     

    the items are collected in a vault of their own and you use /itemcache claim

    It’ll only ever give you the items you have room for and keeps track of the rest for you until you’re ready to claim them. It shouldn’t ever happen that you’re walking around and suddenly your inventory bursts with items because somebody somewhere evicted you.

    Sup LotC,

     

    Presenting today with all the features you didn’t ask for is me, celebrating the official launch of Tythan 0.5. What’s Tythan 0.5? Don’t worry about it it certainly won’t impose horrifying restrictions on every Minecraft action on you very soon. What it will do is give you features that allow us to test for something greater. Such as the things I will now explain below

     

     

    Eviction

    Hate Biased GMs? Modreqs always being closed by GMs when you’re offline? Do you call them GMs just to spite Fireheart in an attempt to mock his team and his power? Well you’re in luck because the #1 Modreq message has now been automated. No more will brave and handsome PROs have to wait for hiatusbotsadmins before burning a city to the ground and remove everyone who wanted to RP there.

    Enter /evict . Just one command and 1 click is all you will need to unlock a lock from someone who needs it. It does require that you are a moderator or be an owner of the region the lock is situated in, but as long as that is done you can clean up all the old locks from vanished players to your heart’s content.

     

    Now I know what you’re thinking: “Pwah! I, the steward of [insert human nation], will just unlock all the chests and gain all the pixels I desire”. Well unfortunately we thought of that. Chests unlocked through /evict will have their items returned to the owner of the lock. If you want to steal someone’s items you will have to do it through Roleplay. Ask your dad... he might still know what that is.

    Repairing

    Nothing gets me more excited than taking commands away from mods. Their indignant shrieking really soothes me right to sleep. So needless to say when I removed /repair from the command list I got a semi. Then I realized Tythus might not pay me this month if I caused too much ruckus for him so I decided to automate the repair process to put you, the player, back in the driver’s seat

    Now repairing is extremely pointless given the fact that materials are cheap and repairs cost 1,000 minas as per Mod policies, so most of you will never need this feature. However I still coded it because I wanted this news post to have 2 items. However if you have damaged roleplay items and you really dont want to break them this feature might be for you.

     

    Also when it comes to repairing we are running a temporary experiment to gather infield data. This has to do with a feedback item that has been coming up a lot lately. Some of you will never find out what the experiment entails while others will spoil the surprise by lamenting it in an angry feedback post. Please enjoy.

     

     

    What Else

     

    • We’re testing an experimental feature with Inventory Backups. A semi-common issue is people losing valuable RP items from glitches and crashes and whatnot so now we can possibly recover these items more reliably. This is great news for you because next time you request your gitched items back instead of hearing We Can’t you will instead hear We can but we won’t. You’re welcome.
    • The sprinting boost plugin may or may not be removed soon because the chunk loading is really doing a number on our performance and players going too fast is a major cause of these issues.
    • Same for horses on cocaine and sprint jumping. Just don’t do it please. We’re at 14 tps and I’ll literally explode if it goes below 5. It’s a bet I made with Tofuus (which I’m winning btw).
    • You can now use /freja pm to send forum PMs to players that are offline. Wow great for birds and stuff right? All it needs is that both you and them are forum integrated which means running the other Freja commands. USE THIS because it will give you free diamonds from gamebreaking bugs.
    • As warned before some people will have their alt accounts unwhitelisted soon. This means you have to use the /whitelistalt command. Even if your alt is NOT unwhitelisted you will still have to use /freja forum on both accs to register. Oh and we have commands to find potential alts with great reliability so please just do it before I start manually banning you until you integrate.  Unlike admins with their cute little VPN whitelist I actually can detect you for trying to skirt past me.  Looking at you potts and your other potts it’s bugging me out just do it please ?

    Sup LotC,

     

    Most of this won't be relevant to you but I'm going to post it anyway because I have no life.

     

    Change 1: The Discord and Forum integration.
    Some people have noticed ingame you can now add your forum account and discord account to your Minecraft toons. You can even use this to link multiple Minecraft characters to the same forum account! There's now a slight benefit to this because you can run "/freja sync" and automatically get the right VIP ranks on both forums and ingame. This command can also be used to verify you in the Discord as a "Server Player" in lieu of the old method of verifying (using the #verify channel)

    Please feel free to try this and report any bugs you might discover. From now on, don't worry about contacting GMs to get your forum/disc vip rank... it's now self-serve!


    Change 2: Alt Applications Overhaul.
    Alt applications are now automated. You can have your alt whitelisted without CT interference using /whitelistalt. All new accounts and some older alt accounts will be required to register using this method so the moderators have a better idea of who's who. There's been a lot of alt account shenanigans and we would like this to stop, hence the need for everybody that has more than 1 MC accounts on LotC to integrate these with their forum handle.

     

    In the event you have an UNWHITELISTED MC alt account, do the following:

    • 1) Make sure you have a Main MC account that is whitelisted and forum-integrated.
    • 2) Log in to your unwhitelisted alt (wandering soul) and use /whitelistalt.
    • 3) The command will require to give the forum handle of your MAIN account. Provide it. At this point you will receive a forum pm.
    • 3.5) If your forum account does not have an associated Minecraft account yet (your main), this command will NOT work.
    • 4) Fill in the verficiation code ingame from your ALT account. It will now be whitelisted automatically

     

     

    If you have an ALREADY whitelisted alt:

    • 1) Log in to one of your MC accounts
    • 2) use /freja forum [forum handle]
    • 3) Fill in the verification code ingame. This account is now integrated
    • 4) go onto your next alt account and repeat
    • 5) If your forum name is not recognized somehow, make a Support Topic.


    If your account was falsely flagged as an alt and was wrongly unwhitelisted:

    • 1) Contact an CT member


    Change 3: The lEver command suite

    We've replaced some of our older, very functional but ultimately bogged-down plugins with a series of homemade commands in the hope that this will speed up the server and help slim down dev work in the long run. If you're not staff, This likely won't affect you. If you are a moderator, you're in for a very frustrating next few weeks as some of your command portfolio has been altered, adjusted, is bugged or has flat out been taken from you by the evil Tech Team. But you will also have noticed that some broken commands are now back, the tab completion works once more, and some commands have their functionality changed. Some things will probably also be broken because of an oversight on our part. If this is the case, please do not hesitate to make a Bug Report Topic in the forums.

     


    Change 4: Dynamic Player Load Optimization

    So while nobody loved the wool pits there remains the grim reality that our server tends to perform extremely poorly when we reach higher player counts in the nights and during the weekends. However, for most of our uptime we are unaffected and it makes no sense to prematurely scale back some of the features when there's not that many players online causing stress on the server. As such, we have released a load balancer which scales back features based on players online. This means that in the downtimes, all features will be working to their fullest extent. But during peak times, and especially during events, a lot of things will be turned down to ensure a smoother roleplay experience.

    The following is affected by these measures:

    • Random block ticks, meaning how fast crops grow, leaves decay, snow forms or melts, etc
    • Mob spawning, whether or not mobs will attempt to spawn randomly
    • Mob AI, inlcuding whether or not chickens lay eggs, sheep spawn wool, and whether your animals wander/follow/breed or if they dumbly stand their like ragdolls.
    • How far out around you new chunks will be loaded, aka your view distance.

    When a new level of server stress is reached, there should appear an informative message to explain you what has been changed by the rising or falling player counts
