SKCraft News: Upcoming Mod Removals

Upcoming Mod Removals

Posted Oct. 5, 2014

In light of recent issues we are looking at removing some mods do to server, and client lag.

As of now Binnie's Mods will likely be removed within the next day or so as it is the source of massive drops in tps that can be caused unknowingly by any player.

In addition we will be removing Rotatable Blocks as it is extremely client intensive, and easy to accidentally use.

Updates to Alice

Posted Oct. 4, 2014

An old mob spawn limiter has been removed.
The spawn rate of animals has been increased.
We now again have the tool that we use to figure out whose bases cause the most lag.

EDIT: Salt factories are killing the server.

MORE EDIT: Apparently I have been told that Pam's recipes are really laggy.

EDIT by Tonius: Not just Pam's recipes are laggy. Binnie's Mods seems to be slowing down any crafting process significantly.

Alice 1.7 Ore Generation

Posted Sept. 22, 2014

Because there is some confusion around the tweaked ore generation in Alice 1.7, I have made a cheat sheet that explains where you can find which ores.

It's a quick draft at the moment, but I'll see if I can make it prettier and easier to read soon.

Release notes:

If you are crashing on launch or join:

If the error log shows "ConcurrentModificationException" and you are using a recent version of Java 8, install an older version of Java 8 or a version of Java 7. In the launcher's options, set the Java path to this older version.
