READ BEFORE USE:
NEW FEATURES OF v.1.1
- The machine runs much faster now! The problem with too many lighting updates is now fixed.
- Type /gamerule SeekerMinecraft 1 to enable the more laggy, but better working, water correcting function
to fix water deleting blocks.
- Type /gamerule SeekerMinecraft 2 to disable this. Default is 2 and will reset to 2 every time the machine
is turned off.
- Rename a diamond helmet to "Far View Helmet" to enable double the view range (13 wide by 13 long by 7 high).
DESCRIPTION:
Seeker Minecraft is contained in a small bedrock box that can be placed within ANY minecraft world. Seeker Minecraft is a new way to play Minecraft in which you cannot see the land that you have not yet explored. The world will come to life as you explore it by either throwing snowballs or manually exploring the land!
Gameplay notes/Features:
- You can only see the land that you have explored! Everything else is empty until you step inside it or throw a snowball to it.
- Falling sand, snowballs, and players will all cause the land to load around that entity.
- Mobs when hit over the edge of loaded areas will disappear, but they are still there! They may walk back
into the loaded area or may appear again if you walk towards them and load that area. Note that mobs can
still track you when they are not in loaded areas!
- When loading trees, if the leaves are not fully loaded, leaves may have decayed once the tree is loaded later,
which would explain why leaves may be missing.
- Grass, mushrooms, flowers, levers, redstone, etc. may break if the ground itself is not loaded or half of
it is not loaded.
- Seeker Minecraft continues to work within the Nether and the End! To disable this, you can remove the two
portals inside the machine.
- CAUTION: Nether portals will desync.
- Note that water can be glitchy and/or laggy to load, so if it is a small lake, try to load the entire lake
before continuing. This is due to water being cloned that moves into the empty area far below where the
actual world is and this can delete blocks in the world above. This should not be a problem after the water
in the area is already loaded. Water can remove land around it once loaded due to water flow occuring where
the actual world is located and the water flow is, as a result, cloned up again, removing parts of the land
so be careful building under where water is not completely loaded.
- Sometimes, due to lag, the world may not load fast enough while travelling. In these cases, make sure not to
continue walking or you may walk off the edge and end up loading blocks underground once the command blocks
catch up, causing you to suffocate.
- Tips when in the End - You would probably want to load as much of the island first before fighting the dragon,
as the dragon will only appear over loaded areas. Due to the way Seeker Minecraft and dragons work, the
dragon, when you see it, will most likely be headed downwards into the ground from the high y altitude the
world is located at, so watch out for the dragon popping in and out of the ground :o!
Using the Schematic:
- When putting the schematic into your world, make sure to put it at the HEIGHT LIMIT and within SPAWN CHUNKS!
- CAUTION: If the world you are putting the schematic into has any blocks above y=128, they will not appear
when Seeker Minecraft is active and WILL be erased if they are loaded!
Lag reduction:
- If you would like to reduce the lag that is caused by the command blocks, it is suggested to begin building
in an area far from the command blocks where the command blocks are no longer loaded.
- Water, and lighting updates from the world as land is cloned in above air, can be large sources of lag.
- Another small lag reducer (that may or may not have a noticeable change in performance) is to go to the back
of the machine, go two blocks to the left and two blocks up from the bottom left corner and break the
bedrock block and remove the first redstone block, then fill the hole back with bedrock. This will remove
the part that slightly reduces the water/lava flow problem mentioned earlier.
- To lower lag even more, you can turn off the machine when you are not exploring.
Download comes with:
