Crafty Cannoneers

Minecraft 1.20 Update

As of this release and going forwards, Crafty Cannoneers now primarily supports Minecraft 1.20 and above, and we will not continue providing support for Minecraft 1.19.4 or below. This is due to a number of breaking changes to datapacks and resource packs introduced in 1.20 and our needing to support the latest version of Minecraft.

If you wish to still play Crafty Cannoneers on Minecraft 1.19.4, an alternate release of Version 1.0.5 which supports Minecraft 1.19.4 is available for download through the following links:

• World Download
• Resource Pack

At this time, CubeKrowd will still be hosting Crafty Cannoneers for Minecraft 1.19.4 using the above version.

Fixed Bugs

• doFireTick gamerule did not reset properly, making it possible for ships to burn longer than intended.

Looking Ahead

We have been working on a massive 1.1.0 update for Crafty Cannoneers over the past few months, and we’re super excited to debut it on Minecraft Realms in the very near future. Get hyped!!

2022-11-06 - Map Released.

World Update System:

Added a system to automatically apply necessary game updates to existing Crafty Cannoneers worlds.

When a new version of the game is available, download the latest datapack zip here and extract it into your world's datapacks folder, deleting the previous craftycannoneers datapack: https://github.com/ZeroniaServer/CraftyCannoneers/releases/latest

Then run /reload (or /minecraft:reload, if on a Spigot/Paper server) in chat/console or restart your world/server to apply updates.

Alternatively, you may download a new copy of the world with updates already applied, but you may lose player data in the process.

(Note that this does not just involve replacing datapack files, as actual entities or blocks may need to change from version to version. The world update system exists to automate this process.)

Hostile Mob Spawning:

Crafty Cannoneers requires hostile mobs to be able to spawn, as creepers are used to simulate Cannonball explosions. The world difficulty is now set to hard upon reload, and if hostile mobs are still unable to spawn (which may occur under certain server configurations), a warning is outputted to chat upon trying to change game settings.

(Note that this has introduced a 2-tick delay to actions on the Settings Map, as hostile mobs are alive for 2 ticks even if disabled. Consider it a feature: spam proofing!)

Fixed Bugs:

• Cannonballs could explode prematurely on Spigot servers.
• The game could choose invalid locations to spawn Weakpoints and then fail to spawn anything, therefore freezing Weakpoint destruction progress for the remainder of the game.
• Entities used to detect interacting with Cannons could despawn.
• Players could keep improper tags if they relogged while in control of game settings.
• You could remove gunpowder from the top left-most Cannon by clicking on the gunpowder slots of the bottom left-most Cannon.

Minecraft 1.20.2 Support

This release of Crafty Cannoneers now supports Minecraft versions 1.20.1 through 1.20.2. We will soon be dropping support for Minecraft 1.20.1 due to future game content relying on new technology exclusive to Minecraft 1.20.2.

Fixed Bugs

• “Shader rendertype_item_entity_translucent_cull could not find sampler named Sampler2 in the specified shader program” warning appeared in client logs after loading the world resource pack.

Looking Ahead

We have been working on a massive 1.1.0 update for Crafty Cannoneers over the past few months, and we’re super excited to debut it on Minecraft Realms in the very near future. Get hyped!!
