OctoberPeaks v1.7 Release
This video is to announce OctoberPeaks 1.7 (OctoberProject 1.9).
In this version, items dropped on the ground now exist as dynamic entities within the world, instead of being stored in the "empty block inventory".
The player is now 1.7 metres tall instead of being less than a block tall.
Movement has been redone, yet again, into a far simpler design which should avoid all of the "stutter" problems sometimes found in the previous release when making certain actions the server couldn't validate.
Internal engine scheduling and caching changes should improve general performance.
Entity view distance is now dynamic, based on the cuboid distance, instead of being static.
Some changes to the network IO scheduling which should improve load performance when joining a new world.
Some of the plans for 1.7 (bow and arrow, for example) have now been split out to 1.8 and expanded in scope.
Thanks for checking it out,
Jeff.
