1.19.4 Update

I updated us to 1.19.4! It's a big processes these days; the Noob Guide in the sidebar is updated with all mods, datapacks, plugins, and resource packs. Our resource pack has been updated (as well as Stillagers, which I do every update). Enjoy!

1.19.3 Update

I forgot to make a post, but we did 1.19.3. In that, the resource pack went wonky since some of the inventory UI's changed, so if you have issues, upgrade your client to 1.19.3.

1.19.2 Update Done

This is a small deal; I just updated the server to 1.19.2. Everything is the same, except now we have a plugin to disable chat reporting.

New Feature: Connect from Bedrock Clients using Geyser!

Thanks to the spigot plugin Geyser, we are pleased to announce that our server now supports Bedrock clients!  Thanks to The_Banana_Bunch for bringing this up...as his computer died and all his remaining options are Bedrock clients lol.

To use this, Bedrock players will still need a Java Minecraft account.  From the bedrock client, players will simply add our server, mc.teh3l3m3nts.com, using the default Bedrock port 19132.

If you are connecting from a console (Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch) you can still connect, but the instructions are more complex.  Geyser provides their own instructions here; they require using the BedrockConnect DNS servers and we recommend the official BedrockConnect DNS IP here: 104.238.130.180.

Once the bedrock client finds our server and tries to connect, it will prompt you for your Java account login credentials, whether that be a Mojang account or a Microsoft account.  Enter those, and you should be in as your java player with all your inventory, positioning, and permissions preserved.

New Datapack: Stillagers

I created a datapack which helps with villager lag in trading halls.

If you name tag a villager with "Stillager" or "stillager" they will stop moving and path finding altogether. This is done by setting the "NoAI" tag of the villager to 1. This typically eliminates restocks, so I have a function to manually restock all trades at 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM. This is mostly consistent with vanilla behavior, villagers restock twice a day at slightly random times, but their 4 phases of the day (work, gather, wander, and sleep) can be divided into 4 segments which is the logic behind the restock times.

If you want to disable this, you tag the villager with "Moveager" or "moveager" and the name disappears and their AI is restored.

This is particularly useful for trading halls where villagers are locked in 1x1 spaces. In my test world where I have a trading hall with ~150 villagers, it took the tps from 15 to 20. This has tremendous lag reduction impacts without the headache of doing double-carpet tricks, and is completely optional so villagers in mob farms or those that are naturally spawned are completely unaffected; this is opt-in.

Special thanks to the VanillaTweaks team; this was made using their "SilenceMe" and "Track Raw Statistics" datapacks as templates.

This is my first datapack, so feedback is welcome.
