Full Changelog: https://github.com/crossy-l/VanillaPings/compare/v1.6...v1.7
Release v1.6
New features
Quality of life
- Added the amount of items laying around within a certain range of an item ping into the ping message
- Fixed typos on the modrinth and GitHub page
Release v1.5
New features
Quality of life
- Made pinging living entities apply glowing to them directly instead of creating a normal ping (suggested by wallysaurus on discord)
Release v1.4
New features
Quality of life
- Made pings in shorter range to the player more precise. This way you can ping through slabs or any other block that has a smaller than one block hitbox (but only up to a certain distance for performance reasons)
Allowed pings below water and lava
- When outside of a liquid you may ping it, when inside of one (for example in the ocean) you can ping right through it
Release v1.3
New Features
- Added new property to allow server admins to set a cooldown for pings (this should prevent ping spamming)
Bug Fixes
- It's no longer possible to ping entities through walls
Release v1.2
Performance improvements
- Limited max ping range on the horizontal axis to 32 chunks
- Limited max ping range on the vertical axis to build height
- Switched to from Minecrafts raycast system to using a custom raycast algorithm for finding ping positions
Issues and future planning
So far I haven't found any issues please post any bugs or errors you find as well as feature requests you might have. I'm happy to implement more settings and tweaks in the future. The chat messages will likely be reworked to only be visible to players nearby.
