Can somebody inform me, what does this all mean? and when I try the latest development build with the latest stable install of Pocketmine and try to connect via my iPad I just get "Incorrect Protocol #20", so I even tried to get the latest "Bin" from Jenkins and still no luck. Is this error because you MUST have 0.11 to even try it? As you may know, servers that are currently online are missing the biggest part of the minecraft experience, complete world generation and mobs, so does this build mean that there's finally a work in progress for Pocketmine to become 10x better than it is? EDIT: Want the entire changelog? http://jenkins.pocketmine.net/job/PocketMine-MP/993/ That's a total of 86 changes lol That's a lot.
Okay what? You should type a sentence at least to make our post worthwhile to read lol Pocketmine at it's current state is like bare bones. Maybe I'm the only one excited for complete world generation and mobs? lol ... okay Some people. ray789, help me to understand you.
But my server says that it isn't run be Zekkou and Cake ( sorry if I spelled those wrong) my server says that it is run by some random people. I will post that ASAP I took a screemshot
So yah I decided to take a stab at it and look at the code myself, even though I don't know what I'm reading exactly, and I see some interesting biomes in the code that I AM familiar with. -use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\BeachBiome; +use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\SwampBiome; use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\DesertBiome; use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\ForestBiome; +use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\IcePlainsBiome; use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\MountainsBiome; use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\OceanBiome; use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\PlainBiome; use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\RiverBiome; use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\SmallMountainsBiome; +use pocketmine\level\generator\normal\biome\TaigaBiome; use pocketmine\level\generator\populator\Populator; use pocketmine\utils\Random; So, there you have it, we have several biomes (not all of them), the random generator and the populator all in conjunction. I think I'm on to something good here
If there is actual working biomes or at least caves, it would be pretty awesome! Especially when 0.11 fixes tons of multiplayer bugs and makes MCPE overall much better.
Zekkou and Cake aren't people... They are the pronunciation of the Japanese codename of PocketMine 1.4...
I know its work in progress however certain biomes have weird colored top blocks and effects never run out unless you run the clear command
To clarify to anyone reading this thread and is really confused: Because shoghi now works at Mojang, he was able to work on updating PocketMine in his free time. He did not release any of this before because there was no reason to (no one could use 0.11.0). Now that the 0.11 betas were released on Android, shoghi decided to release what he had as dev builds and work on PocketMine as these betas continue. Anyone who has iOS, wishes iOS players to join their server, or want 0.10 clients to be able to join their server, do not update to the newest dev builds. Build #989 was the last dev build supporting 0.10, so downgrade to at least that if you already updated.
Yay that is exciting news, especially the biomes. Now the MCPE Mojang Team gotta fix fishing rods. Its getting really annoying with all the glitches that comes with it but totally worth the new gameplay. Keep it up.
You can only get it on Android, viâ Google Play. Join this community: https://plus.google.com/communities/106796800070120508354 Then join the beta testing: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mojang.minecraftpe
The biomes I've seen as of dev build 1041 are plains, snow plains, desert plateau?, snow forest. No more rolling hills, or islands as I liked to make. Plateaus had overhangs but nothing i would call caves You can place birch, jungle, and spruce sapplings. When switching gamemodes it no longer kicks you from server. You can hold a fishing pole but not fish. effects via command People where using colored writing on signs And how can I forget, Skins work. That is what I've noticed so far
I can't even hold a fishing pole. @shoghicp hinted that there would be commands in MCPE 0.11.0 build 3.
