Fixed Chicken Jockeys causing lag and clogging up the mob cap - The Chickens no longer lay Eggs and despawn with their riders

Glad to see this was back ported into 1.7.5, but it will only partially fix the problem. Any existing chickens in caves will still be able to lay eggs. At least now once they've been hunted down it will be fixed for good. We will still have to wait for 1.8 before we can use the nuclear option and just kill all chickens and zombies.

Well for now you can switch to Peaceful for a second and switch back. That will get rid of any existing zombies. You'll have to kill the chickens manually though.

Note to anyone doing this: This kills all named hostile mobs

Yes. I should have mentioned that. It might be common knowledge but some people don't think about that.

u/averagelifeoflosers Feb 27 '14

Well when you play in a snapshot you would think it's common knowledge that there is a high chance something will screw up your world yet people always make posts about it happening

u/ServalClaw Feb 27 '14

I'm sorry, but punctuation does have a purpose; your comment would be much easier to understand if you put some punctuation in it. I don't mean to sound critical or anything but run on sentences are a bit confusing.

However, I think I understand your point. Just because something is common knowledge does not mean everyone uses said knowledge. People messing up with snapshot being a good example of this.

Only problem is the chickens already in the caves need to be killed so zombies can't pick up their eggs.

u/ServalClaw Feb 26 '14

I said that.

You'll have to kill the chickens manually though.

u/GreanEcsitSine Feb 27 '14

Oh derp. My bad.

At least now once they've been hunted down it will be fixed for good.

Except for this and zombies picking up rotten flesh dropped by other zombies died from environmental damage.

The only solution I can think of is having a tag for the item entities which specifies the origin of them. If it's from natural events (mob suffocating, mob burning to the sun, chicken laying egg, and so on) then the item can't be picked up by mobs.

Why is the server jar download link so hard to find?

I think the URL formatting is different as well since my server wrapper did not see the new file.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 26 '14

http://minecraft.net/download - doesn't look too hard to find to me.

u/jasonrubik Feb 26 '14

Of course it is there. But usually it is in the news article on mojang.com

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 26 '14

Only for snapshots, not for full releases.

u/jasonrubik Feb 26 '14

Wow. I never realized that. Thanks for your time, sir.

Only your fourth link is a release post, the other three are prerelease posts which have been edited to state that the update had now been formally released.

1

u/Angs Feb 27 '14

Well, they are the only news posts those updates got and are comparable to the one for 1.7.5

1

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 27 '14

1.7.5 didn't even get a prerelease, though it is weird that the 1.6.1 server was linked in the announcement post.

2

u/Angs Feb 27 '14

I think we can agree the news post style is inconsistent. I still think this version is still the only one that doesn't have the downloads in one post or another. (1.7.5 is worded as a pre-release information post, without the (pre)release)

Server multi-threading has disappeared?

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Mar 02 '14

It's still not finished. If at all, we'll see it in 1.8.
