Accepted [Skyblock] New Stacking System fix for mob drop farms

I think they would have to be careful implementing this. While it has ‘broke’ auto mob farms if you made it possible to damage the entire stack at once (remember up to 100 mobs) it could quickly become too OP

 

This could be negated by calculating the amount of damage you have done and reducing that from the stack of mobs.

So for example you did 3 hearts of damage and the first mob in the stack has 1 heart. It will die and the second mob in the stack will lose 2 hearts. (If the second one has 1 heart it should die and the third mob would take the damage as well.)

 

I would suggest magma blocks.

 

I’m not a dev but that sounds like a royal pain to code. Not that the rest of the stuff doesn’t also

 

change the config here:

# Only kill some of the stack
kill-step:
enabled: true
# The maximum amount by which the stack should decrease by.
max-step: 5


change to a reasonable amount to achieve something at least close to what kaslan suggested

 

Alright so here's how we approached this issue.

- When a stack of mobs dies from fall damage, the ENTIRE stack will die properly.
- When a stack of mobs dies from any other kind of damage, only ONE mob from that stack will die.

Further more drops will indeed multiply by the amount of mobs that died at once.

- There is only one caveat:
- If you have a stack of 10 mobs, they fall and die, and the first one wasn't going to drop anything, you will get 0 drops.
- If you have a stack of 10 mobs, they fall and die, and the first one was going to drop 2 drops, you will get 20 drops.
- This evens itself out over time, as in the above scenarios, you've dropped a total of 20 mobs, and received 20 drops. There is no way to do this differently in the code and it would be a nightmare to pull of a project to do this differently.
