1.21.3 Update!

UPDATE - 1.21.3 is out AND WE UPDATED!!! Man the drops are going to make this process more frequent and painful, but I'm trying to keep up. We're also chasing a pretty awful cyclic lag issue that I think is dynmap related. I'll keep this updated as things progress:

UPDATE 2024.11.26 - I think enough is ready to proceed however we are on vacation and not home so I can't process it at this time, I'll see if I can shortly. We're losing mob health bars and the VR connector. Also, just because Mojang loves pain, 1.21.4 is on RC3.


Server Engine:

Plugins: We need plugins to be ready/tested in 1.21.3:


Here's some "optional" plugins that we use that aren't critical but need to be upgraded:


Here are the data packs we use:

  • READY. Our main datapack bundle comes from vanillatweaks and can be found here: https://vanillatweaks.net/share#d9kElj
    Discord Updates>
    • Decorative/Cosmetic
      • Mini Blocks - Use a stonecutter to craft certain miniblocks
      • More Mob Heads - Mobs have a chance to drop their head when killed, the head is a player head with a texture baked into the item.
      • Player Head Drops - Players will drop their heads when killed.  The dropped head will have a tag showing who killed them.  The block is a player head with a texture baked into the item, so texture will persist even if the player changes skins.
      • Silence Mobs - Adds the ability to silence mobs using a name tag. "Silence me","silence me", and "silence_me" are all acceptable names.
      • Wandering Trades - The wandering trader will now sell mini blocks which cost emeralds AND a full size version of the mini block.  The blocks are player heads with textures baked into the item.
    • Convenience
      • Unlock All Recipes - Automatically unlock all recipes as soon as you start playing
    • Informative
      • AFK Display - Grays out a player's name if AFK for 5 minutes
      • Coordinates HUD - Shows the players XYZ coords and time of day above the hotbar
      • Durability Ping - Get notified when a tool is under 10% durability
      • Track Raw Statistics - Adds 100+ things to a scoreboard which can rotate and show online players who has done what
      • Track Statistics - Tracks some interesting statistics
      • Villager Death Messages - Notifies the server chat when a villager is killed
      • Workstation Highlights - Allows you to find the workstation of any villager
  • Armor Statues - This is a more advanced version of the Vanilla Tweaks armor statues mod, made directly by the original author on his CurseForge Page. It allows posing and modification of armor stands and item frames. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/armor-statues-datapack
  • Custom Roleplay Data - A datapack to allow custom re-modeling of items for additional roleplay stuff; it's technically no new items, but if a custom model is added to the server resource pack, it renders in-game for anyone in game. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/custom-roleplay-data-datapack. Our current list of custom models can be viewed here. My own fork of the datapack updated for 1.21.3
  • Stillagers - A custom DataPack made by surfrock66, this allows you to apply a nametag to Villagers titled "Stillager" which disables their AI which reduces lag in 1x1 spaces in trading halls.  The still villagers will restock at 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM in game.  This can be reversed by applying the nametag "Moveager." https://www.teh3l3m3nts.com/new-datapack-stillagers/
  • Revault - A datapack to reset trial vaults every so often, so they are not one-and-done per player which is unnecessarily punishing in our opinion. https://modrinth.com/datapack/revault My own fork of the datapack updated for 1.21.3
  • Dynamic Lights - Adds dynamic lights for players, items, mobs, etc. https://modrinth.com/datapack/dynamic-torches/versions

 

Lastly, there are some client mods we use which are very helpful but aren't deal-breakers
