[Game] Mineclonia [0.121.0]

[repetitivestrain]

Hi,

I'm noticing a couple of things with the current version:

1. I'm seeing a lot of semi-underwater villages, attached screenshots show what I mean.

2. Villages seem to be getting rarer in recent releases, I had to adjust the settings to "1 out of 1" per chunk to start seeing them more frequently again. Did a formula change?

Which map generator have you enabled? Is it valleys or Carpathian?

The village generation system was rewritten to render placement mechanics in agreement with Minecraft's. The village frequency setting no longer produces any effect (and neither would it be feasible to implement).

[DrewPH]

Ah I see... so village frequency is now out of the player's hands. I figured something must have changed, I just couldn't work out what. Thanks for the info.

Map generator settings are this:

It would be edifying for you to post your world's seed and the location of the village you observe, or better, map_meta.txt.

[DrewPH]

I no longer have the world where I saw those submerged villages. Next time I see one I'll post the map_meta.txt file.

I am seeing a lot of crashes, MineClonia is not stable anymore. I think the code might need to be optimized to avoid crashing. Because, on average, it takes between 10-30 minutes for Luanti to crash outright while playing MineClonia. It is supposed to work well with 4 GB of RAM, yet it's performance is very poor, MineTest, even when crammed full of mods, performs much better than MineClonia.

If you want a crash to be addressed, you will have to inform us where or how it crashes, and provide such all-important details as the contents of your debug.txt or other errors printed when the crash takes place.

Here's the problem: The WHOLE Luanti app crashes, no chance for a log to be created! Plus I can't take a screenshot of the exact crash moment. This is a Trial & Error situation.

UPDATE: Still crashing, even when Debug updating is disabled. So it's definitely an issue with MineClonia running dangerously close to Luanti's limitations. Perhaps this game should be updated immediately before these crashes affect other devices. Plus, the Debug log showed nothing that would indicate an issue. So the crashing prevents Luanti from updating it's Debug log.

Is there no method on Android to fetch crash logs for an app?

Then it's not Mineclonia's fault, but Luanti's.

Not currently. Blame Google for that.

However, with an active FOSS community, it's theoretically possible to use Rooted or Shizuku'd devices to fetch such crash logs. But it's a longshot.

It's definitely possible to capture a bug report from the Power menu.

Huh...Never really considered doing that after unlocking those options...

Thanks for fixing the creative-mode inventory scrollbar. I liked the scrolling better than the pagination.

A common error, not unique to this piece of content... If I could give multiple users access to an OP, I would.. (if you cared to go that way, a shared account called "Mineclonia" might be an option)

[Twinsonian]

On the topic of bees. Searching the post, it looks like there hasn't been much discussion on them since the end of 2024. Same with issues submitted on codeberg with issue #747. Anyone know if there is any further progress being made?

[repetitivestrain]

I'll get around to them eventually.

None of this fixes the underlying poor stability of MineClonia in general. In fact, it likely made it worse because now the coding is going to get too complicated for Luanti on even 4GB RAM to handle. Pushing the minimum to 5GB RAM. There needs to be emergency patches in order to restore stability for weaker devices, or users will likely flee back to VoxeLibre, which is a lot more stable on said devices. This particularly affects Android & iPad (if applicable) users.

Memory consumption is in no wise connected to stability, and neither is Mineclonia's excessive.

Before this server was restarted for updates, it was online for in excess of 1 month.

Anyway, if you don't report the backtraces of crashes to us, but simply post deceptive and affected protests, which contribute nothing at all to their resolution, you cannot expect them to be addressed. As you have been informed on numerous occasions, of which I hope this will be the last. (And I also urge other players to take this member's comments with skepticism, considering how much he has been guilty of hyperbole as of late...)

If Luanti itself crashes, no log can be made, and I could try exploiting a feature of Android that can reveal what causes crashes. But, it wouldn't match what this Forum expects when it comes to code. I use my T901, which has 4GB RAM, and when MineClonia runs long enough, it forces Luanti to crash outright, kicking me to the OS screen & killing the Luanti process. I suspect a RAM leak.

A case in point for the RAM/Stability link is Donkey Kong 64, from 1999. If you play the game non-stop for 10 hours, the RAM is used up completely, and it begins overwriting used RAM, which causes stability problems, and eventually it crashes. This seems to also happen with MineClonia, but because of Luanti's RAM requirements, when MineClonia starts to overload, it easily overwrites a piece of RAM that Luanti needs, and it kills the app to prevent corruption. That's my assumption.

Comparisons with archaic video games have no bearing at all on this matter.

[ArceusI]

Comparisons with archaic video games have no bearing at all on this matter.

Ah, but it does have bearing, because similar situations occurred after and before it. DK64 is actually one of the most popular examples of RAM issues in games. It's also known that other games suffer similar problems, and there are YouTube videos that suggest it too.

If MineClonia has coding errors that could lead to a similar issue, then a log wouldn't be necessary at all, because if you test it on a T901 tablet like mine, you very likely will notice the frequent crashing of Luanti itself, and likely want to know why it's happening too. This actually happened prior to its update, when 5.14.0 was the official Luanti version. So on my end, in Singleplayer, it started happening a couple months ago. If I could, I could take a video of the crash.
