This is the seventh alpha for Movecraft 8. Movecraft 8 requires at least Java 13 will be required to run the plugin. As usual with alphas, DO NOT RUN THIS ON ANY WORLD YOU CARE ABOUT WITHOUT A BACKUP - we are not responsible for anything that may go wrong with your world. If you do find any issues or have any suggestions, please report them in the issues section.

This release brings the first support of 1.18.2 to Movecraft, however, support for 1.17.1 and 1.18.2 remains experimental. As such, block highlights and smooth teleportation are still disabled for 1.17.1 and 1.18.2. The rest of the feature set is fully supported and functional.

To help clean up the code, we have dropped support for 1.15.2 in this release. If you are using 1.15.2 or lower, we recommend you update to 1.16.5 which remains the optimal version to run Movecraft 8 on. We will continue to support 1.14.4 for a while longer to assist older in servers upgrading to 1.16.5, but we may drop support before a final 8.0.0 release.

New Features/Changes

  • Removed 1.15.2 and 1.18.1 support and added 1.18.2 support. We still support 1.14.4 as a bridge for older servers on their update path, but we highly recommend servers update to 1.16.5.
  • Cleaned up internal code surrounding player interactions.
  • Clicking signs with a pilot tool no longer interacts with them. Addons may not have integrated the nessecary code to do so, and as such please report issues to their respective GitHub repos.
  • Hovering over the void no longer causes intense lag (PR #498). Big thanks to @galacticwarrior9 for fixing the problem!
  • Added support for non-player detection events in the API.
  • Added a new event for entity translation in the API.
  • Fix a bug in maxHeightOverGround.
  • Redo the way sinking crafts are handled internally and the CraftManager has been simplified. Many addons are likely affected by this, and as such we recommend you check for updates.
  • Fixed a bug that caused dynamicLagSpeed crafts to take far longer to cruise the first time than intended.
  • Fixed gearshift behavior to match 7.0.0.

Notable Bugs

  • We are still working on a bug which rarely causes crafts to no longer respond to player input. The working way to fix this is to run the release -a command to release all crafts and have players repilot. Reference #485 for more information.
  • Sinking crafts to not behave properly near WorldBorders and MinHeightLimit. Reference #489 and #480 for more information.
  • CraftsUseNeverPortals appears to have an effect on lighting updates. Reference #479 for more information.
