Experimental

Experimental Server

• Maahes0 mentions that the Decorative Blocks mod has had no signs of updating to future game versions, and asks if the server should be reset to 1.19
  • Joe states the original idea was the server would run until 3 months before this season of Hermitcraft ends.
  • This is now believed to be a bad idea
  • Joe suggests to decide in a month if the Experimental server should be restarted every time there is a new minecraft version, they kick mods they don’t like and add new mods they do
    • Maahes states we would need a nomination process for what mods to add and to consider how much time to allow for mods to come out
    • Joe states we could add mods as time goes on, just not remove them.
    • Joe gives until the end of August for people to consider the following: Toxxic takes the vision for his Fall SMP server and sees if it is compatible with the Experimental server player’s desires, and for Toxxic to take lead on it.

Deep Slate Nine Vanilla SMP

  • Kindalas states it was presented as a vote, and proper labeling would help avoid that confusion
    • Mardigan mentions NJ was kicked mid-stream due to updates
    • Joe mentions that it has happened to him on HermitCraft and a server that is dedicated for streamers for uptime and quality would be something to be workshopped as another patreon tier

• Kindalas requests discussing the expectations of update timelines at the next quarterly meeting
  • Joe states DS9 updates as soon as possible, the Vanillish server updates in 2 weeks depending on the creative lead, and the modded server going forward resets each new game version and the Everstorm server only updates on monthly refresh.
  • Joe feels this is part of the value of the Vanillish server, and the problem is people would rather play on DS9 than Vanillish
  • Joe suggests having another server be the flagship server come next HermitCraft season, as he doesn’t want to change things from being a server that stays up to date with the latest minecraft versions
    • Kindalas states there is room to discuss this at the quarterly business meeting
    • Joe states that he is not at a place to commit to a 48 hour window
    • Kindalas suggests being able to warn Joe about updates that are game-breaking
    • Joe states he was not concerned about long term security risks with the release of 1.19.1 and was prepared to update the server again if it warranted that

• NJ requests for Joe to help her finish organizing her shulker monster
  • Joe denies, but grants NJ 4 allay spawn eggs to pay people with to help instead
• Joe mentions that in terms of creative frustration the HermitCraft server doesn’t rollback so it can give folks confidence that the work they have done won’t get undone.
  • CaseWalker states that this update felt rushed and more controversial and potentially damaging than any other updates
    • Joe agrees and states that if we genuinely wanted to not rely on Microsoft we would have to fund other projects such as MineTest so we would have our own Minecraft to not worry about Microsoft changing things on.
    • Kindalas states that sounds like a waste of time, money, and effort and defeats the purpose of playing minecraft
    • Joe agrees and states that if we don’t agree with moving to our own sources then we need to agree with relying on Microsoft, though it makes him nervous to be dependent on them.
    • Joe mentions that the last creator summit had only talked about this update and not about future updates, and is worried they don’t know what direction they are heading in
