  • Consider the Paper.yml redstone optimization setting

    Freedom-01 has been attacked several times by lag machines which have been used to drop the TPS quite considerably. Paper, I found out, has a setting that optimizes redstone to reduce server lag. The setting, use-faster-eigencraft-redstone when set to true, changes redstone behaviour to reduce lag while maintaining its functionality. I feel it would be worth a shot to implement given its only changes a single thing in Paper.yml and as such, requires 0 developer effort to try and see if it makes a difference in dealing with the effects of lag machines. The recent spike in lag machines is primarily the variety pictured below which is very easy to construct and use with the capability of crashing the server with ease.



    I've also tested the setting on my own server with a similar lag machine setup and noticed no server-crippling drops in TPS. In fact, the lowest the TPS dropped was in the 19s range. No matter how many times I spam-clicked the lever, the TPS would not drop with optimizations on.


    My test results:

    I crashed my server with the device pictured and had the setting disabled.

  • Admin Application - Yurni

    I Vouch. They are very proactive in reporting rule breakers and they always inform me of when someone's doing something funny. Their knowledge in exploits is also quite beneficial as well given most administrators are often unable to handle situations with these types of problems.

  • Master builder reinstatement

    I Vouch. They're still a good builder. Just don't do anything stupid that gets your MB title stripped again.


    Changed to Object. Jwmphall is indefinitely banned across all platforms and is not deserving of the MB title due to offences they committed.

  • Super Admin Application

    ↩  matscalle Discord is not used for any administrative things. While it may be nice to have for chatting, discussions etc, it is not a requirement for admin since admins have access to telnet to remotely administrate along with access to the panel to be able to start/stop/restart the server. Discord has no features for administrating the physical server so I don't see why it is "important" to have in those aspects.

  • Super Admin Application

    ↩ @'wxtermelon' Video fixed the IP problem and announced the fact here.


    The bot being Admin'd due to shared IP shouldn't be a problem in the near future.


    I am Neutral. I will see what others have to say before making a proper vote.

  • I am being targeted by Ivan

    I recommend maintaining screenshots of the messages along with their URL and copying the account ID for evidence. Ivan's an absolute idiot for doing this and I really shouldn't be surprised he's doing stupid shit like this.
