Testing and Integrating Full Minecraft 1.8 by keenanjt August 22, 2015 at 6:08 AM UTC

I rolled out Minecraft 1.8 (dropping 1.7 support) on a couple servers today and if all goes well, we will be full 1.8 when the time is right. If you are already panicking based on that, know that we're doing this because we love our players and want to give you all the best server experience possible. We'll be working on optimizing our server for 1.8 because other plugins have dropped development on the older versions and it has become a hassle lacking the new features and latest fixes. We're talking less lag and more cool features with updates, at least that's the plan :P

In addition to the version dealio, you're all test subjects with a new anti-cheat plugin that I have high hopes for, but it will require some fiddling for it to better suit a PVP server (again, only on a couple servers right now). It's not developed by us, but it is designed to be a more efficient and lightweight alternative to NoCheatPlus which we have used for some time now. We may switch back, who knows!

Finally, I made some changes to Avicus and Avicore which target potential sources of block lag. Those are deployed on the select few servers.

Server Test Subjects (updated 8/22/2015 2:00 AM EST)
Edit: I don't know why it's kicking people, but that's gonna be fixed.

Edit 2: Try out full 1.8 (no 1.7 clients connected) using this IP: 1.8.avic.us

Good job.

Now, fix the knockback.

And then I will actually hug you.

I agree there is still tonnes of block lag, 1.7 is the least of the servers problems

hippitydippity August 22, 2015 at 8:08 AM UTC

Apparently the mix of 1.7 and 1.8 is what's causing block lag and knockback inconsistencies, which is why a full move to 1.8 is the best thing for the server.

emilizzle August 22, 2015 at 8:08 AM UTC

1.8 is great, I don't get it why people complain about it Im using it for months now

AstroPizza August 22, 2015 at 8:08 AM UTC

I went on DTM01 and got knocked back 10 blocks within 2 hits?

Spoookeh August 22, 2015 at 10:08 AM UTC

Thank you for this! I knew it had to happen eventually and I'm glad of it now.

That's perfectly plausible, that's vanilla minecraft. The error was that player order had an impact on the knockback which was why people got knocked different distances under the same circumstances but the time they logged in.

There is some glitch where blocks don't register, when ninja, breezily and other types of bridging that invovles non-shifting.

Told Kylo, add me on skype to provide a video.

The only thing I'm hyped for from the update is floor buttons :o

And of course less block lag.

Pressure plates dont get washed away? Buttons do.

Nicely done Developers. I believe that this will go over well enough :)

Yea, the animation of the 1.8 block hit makes me cry it looks nasty.
EDIT : Is Avicus fully 1.8?

Not yet, just the DTM01 and CTW01 servers, but it probably will be soon.

Why have only 2 dedicated servers for this? Either make the entire network 1.8 or leave the entire network 1.7 + 1.8

AstroPizza August 23, 2015 at 4:08 PM UTC

It's for testing purposes mainly , i'm sure it will be fully 1.8 once they fix any bugs they find.

rinn August 23, 2015 at 4:08 PM UTC

go back to avicus 1.0
Stop.

There's loads of bugs the whole server doesn't need..

Like the spectator name tag glitch. Hope that gets fixed.

Well I don't know about "loads" but there may be a few. Report any if you see them at the typical: avicus.net/issues.

I was just presuming seeing as it's a relatively large step up.

I played some yesterday and I say - besides the very few glitches - that the 1.8 servers don't lag as often as the 1.7/1.8 server. Please, integrate full 1.8 support ASAP :P

Emmaye August 23, 2015 at 8:08 PM UTC

I like the change and all for the most part.

The only problem I had was some NCP issues but nothing too serious.

Chief_Hacks August 23, 2015 at 9:08 PM UTC

What did you retire from again?

I heard that feature crashed some players when they got near it.

Can the new anti-cheat detector support 1.7 in the other servers? It's working really great, and I'd love to see it working for all servers.

That's the catch, it's 1.8 only!

So then can you and the others fully update the server? Would be really awesome.

It's only a matter of time, so yes.

Creanetor September 6, 2015 at 11:09 AM UTC

Ok,Avicus was updated in 1.8 or lapis.
But there is one problem the maps such as Rendezous Redux,Formager and other map dont have Lapis Luzui!
So it needs to be fixed.
