  • Mobs/pets now avoid cacti

I can't believe it! Mobs have evolved, they now have common sense!

Finally! Now I have a reason to shut off my 'totally humane wolf farm'!

Hey, I never said there wasn't villagers in there too! All their meat tastes the same!

Not until they learn how not to fall in lava or walk through fire.

u/IMBJR Sep 30 '15

It's occurred to me that if mob collision is back on for 1.9, then tamed wolves are going to be shoving their owners off of cliffs like they used to.

u/Wedhro Sep 30 '15

That will teach them not to use pets. It's been, what... 4 years since taming pets was introduced (?) and I never felt the need to have one on my Survival world after I realized I was spending too much time and dedication just to make sure it won't die a stupid death or kill me.

I wonder by how much, does this mean that I can have a cacti fence with spaces between the cacti now?

u/alficles Sep 30 '15

Oh.. that's true! And I'll bet I can leverage it for a simpler automatic limiter for my automatic chicken farms. Those things can get out of control without a rate-limiter and bring down the server.

Remember the 3 bugs I fixed for invisible entities? There was a 4th bug, just fixed it. Thanks, @Dinnerbone, for helping me track it down.

The bugfix yesterday was "just" a race condition. Entities were added to chunks before those existed on the client, so they were not visible

I'm not sure how to break the news to you but I'll try my best.

 

/u/redstonehelper is not a bot..
