World Generation Performance Milestones (Tested on 12 Cores)

Beta 3.0 delivers unprecedented world generation speeds powered by the redesigned StageCache architecture and density router optimizations:

  • Overworld Generation: Up to 515.99 chunks/second peak batched throughput (1024 chunks in 1.98 seconds — sub-2-second milestone achieved!).
  • Nether Generation: 1,394.91 chunks/second (1024 chunks generated in 0.73s).
  • The End Generation: 8,929.73 chunks/second (1024 chunks generated in 0.11s).
  • Structure Reference Queries: Down from multiple milliseconds to 209 microseconds per chunk.

What's New in Beta 3.0

1. Breakthrough World Generation Optimizations

  • StageCache Pipeline with FxBuildHasher: Chunk generation stages now leverage high-speed hashers and lock-free StageCache caching, eliminating cross-thread contention.
  • Noise Density Router Acceleration: Dropped the Noise evaluation stage from 11.4ms down to 3.8ms (~66% speedup) through sample_wrapper density caching and hoisted vein sampling.
  • Sky Air Skipping: Chunk noise population now skips expensive 3D density sampling for empty air columns above surface terrain.
  • Lighting Engine Overhaul: Implemented VisitedBitSet, reusable
    eset_queue, stride traversal optimizations, and stack-allocated carver arrays for zero-allocation propagation.
  • Structure Generator Mutex Elimination:
    • Added cached bounding boxes in StructurePosition::new(), completely removing mutex locking on every bounding box intersection test.
    • Upgraded StructureInstance::Reference(BlockBox, Arc<Mutex<...>>) to enable instant O(1) spatial pruning.
  • O(1) Direct Array Feature Lookups: Replaced hash map lookups in ConfiguredFeaturesTable and PlacedFeaturesTable with direct array indexing via enum discriminants.

2. Minecraft 26.3 & Protocol 777 Compatibility

  • Full Protocol 777 Support: Support for Minecraft 26.3 client connections, handshakes, and lifecycle state synchronization.
  • Dynamic Registries (REGISTRY_V_26_3): Full serialization of 26.3 dynamic registries, including visual attributes (sky_color, og_color) and trim material descriptions.
  • Registry & Packet Regenerations: Updated packet IDs, data component IDs, and sound effect IDs for 26.3.
  • Block Network Expansion: Expanded BLOCK_NETWORK_MAX_BITS to 16 bits to seamlessly support hundreds of new block states.

3. New 26.3 Gameplay Content & Mechanics

  • Straw Beds:
    • Authentic sleeping mechanics with correct vertical Y-offset and player yaw orientation.
    • Nether and End bed explosion mechanics and custom block drop tables.
  • Shelf Mushrooms:
    • 0.75 bouncy trampoline physics for players and entities.
    • 50% fall damage reduction when landing on shelf mushrooms.
    • Bone meal interaction for mushroom expansion.
  • Poplar Trees, Wood & Vehicles:
    • Full Poplar wood set: logs, wood, planks, stairs, slabs, fences, gates, doors, trapdoors, pressure plates, buttons, and signs.
    • Native Poplar Boats and Poplar Chest Boats.
    • Dedicated tree placement algorithms: PoplarFoliagePlacer, PoplarTrunkPlacer, and ShelfMushroomTreeDecorator.
  • Red Shrubs:
    • Authentic ground placement rules, survival checks on valid soil, and propagation.
  • Wool Slabs & Wool Stairs:
    • Placement and state conversion for all 16 wool color variants.
    • Dedicated WoolSlabItem and WoolStairsItem handling.
  • Cushions:
    • Interactive cushion entities allowing players to sit and relax, with authentic item placement and break drops.
  • Concrete Slabs & Concrete Stairs: Full implementation for all 16 concrete color variations.
  • Explorer Maps & Structure Locating: Locate command and map generation support for new structures.

PotatoMC Beta 2.0 Release

Next-Generation, Ultra-High-Performance Minecraft Server Engine

Welcome to the Beta 2.0 release of PotatoMC! This release introduces major gameplay mechanics including the Totem of Undying, Core Redstone & Glass Transmission rules, Pistons & Sticky Pistons, Mace & Wind Charge Combat parity, Villager Trading, and record-breaking World Generation Performance.

Direct Downloads

Platform / Host Download Link Description
Pterodactyl & Game Panels server.jar Universal Bootstrap JAR for Pterodactyl, Multicraft, and existing hosts
Windows (x86_64) potato-windows-x86_64.exe Standalone Windows 64-bit Server Binary
Linux (x86_64 MUSL) potato-linux-x86_64 Standalone Static Linux Binary (Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, Arch, RHEL)

Performance Benchmarks (Tested on 12 vCPU Cores)

PotatoMC delivers breakthrough generation throughput with the new StageCache pipeline:

  • Overworld Throughput: Up to 427 chunks/second peak generation speed.
  • Nether (Batched StageCache): 1,298.56 chunks/second (avg: 9.18ms | worst: 34.60ms | total: 0.79s — +9.4% speedup).
  • The End (Batched StageCache): 6,633.22 chunks/second (avg: 1.79ms | worst: 13.98ms | total: 0.15s).

What's New in Beta 2.0

1. Totem of Undying Parity

  • Lethal Damage Interception: Intercepts fatal damage in LivingEntity::damage_with_context before death events trigger (health - damage <= 0.0).
  • Hand Priority & Detection: Evaluates both Main Hand and Off Hand for Item::TOTEM_OF_UNDYING or items with DeathProtection data components (Main Hand checked first).
  • Damage Bypass Rules: Honors vanilla rules—void damage (OUT_OF_WORLD) and /kill properly bypass totem protection.
  • Health & Effect Reset: Clamps health to exactly 1.0f (half heart) and wipes all active harmful status effects (Poison, Wither, Slowness, etc.) while preserving beneficial effects.
  • Vanilla Buff Application:
    • Regeneration II: 900 ticks (45 seconds)
    • Absorption II: 100 ticks (5 seconds)
    • Fire Resistance I: 800 ticks (40 seconds)
  • Animation, Audio & Inventory Sync:
    • Broadcasts Entity Status Packet 35 (EntityStatus::ProtectedFromDeath), triggering client floating totem screen animation, particle burst, and item.totem.use sound.
    • Consumes 1 totem from the holding hand and synchronizes the slot via player.sync_hand_slot, eliminating visual phantom totems on the client.

2. Core Redstone Wire & Transmission Rules

  • Horizontal Strong Power Bugfix: Fixed an issue where redstone wire emitted strong power horizontally. Wire now strictly emits strong power downwards into the support block beneath it (BlockDirection::Up query) and 0 strong power horizontally, preventing signal leakage through solid walls.
  • Signal Decay: Accurate 0–15 power decay (decrements by 1 per block of wire traversed).
  • Stepped Slope & Glass Rules:
    • Directional stepped slope ascending/descending connectivity on solid opaque blocks.
    • Transparent glass block rule: glass blocks do not conduct redstone power and do not sever/cut wire running over or climbing stepped blocks.
  • Redstone Torch Parity:
    • 1-tick delay inversion when the attached supporting block receives power.
    • Standing and wall torches emit strong power (15) upwards and weak power (15) to adjacent horizontal neighbors.

3. Pistons & Sticky Pistons Mechanical Logic

  • 12-Block Push Limit: Full PistonStructureResolver port enforcing the vanilla 12-block maximum push line limit; lines of 13+ blocks are strictly rejected.
  • Immovable Block Enforcement: Halts push/pull when the line contains Bedrock, Obsidian, Crying Obsidian, Respawn Anchors, Reinforced Deepslate, or extended piston heads.
  • Fragile Block Destruction: Fragile blocks (torches, flowers, redstone wire) are destroyed and dropped on push without consuming the 12-block push budget.
  • Sticky Retraction Bugfix: Fixed North-facing retraction index bug (to_index() == 2), ensuring sticky pistons pull the adjacent movable block properly across all orientations.
  • Slime & Honey Mechanics: Slime and Honey adhere to standard blocks but do not stick to each other.

4. Combat & Projectile Parity

  • Point-Blank Self-Shot Bugfix: Fixed boundary clipping and raycast face detection for Ender Pearls and Wind Charges. Projectiles shot straight down at the ground hit the top block face instead of tunneling underground.
  • Wind Charge Trigger Blocks: Wind charge bursts interact with trigger blocks (doors, trapdoors, fence gates, levers, buttons, bells, candles, and TNT) while zeroing direct block destruction.
  • Mace Smash Attack: Falling > 1.5 blocks triggers tiered fall damage scaling (fall distance <= 3, 3 < d <= 8, d > 8), critical hit multiplier (1.5x), attacker fall damage negation on hit, and outward shockwave knockback.
  • Mace Enchantments: Full support for Density, Breach (up to 60% armor reduction), and Wind Burst launch impulse.

5. Villager Trading & Village Simulation (TASK5)

  • Villager Trading: Complete trading interface, trade generation, and tier leveling.
  • Sign Parity: Fixed sign placement on normal terrain (dirt, grass block, path) and eliminated garbled text synchronization issues.
  • Mob AI & Golem Spawning: Fixed pillager lockups when sighting distant targets, and resolved Iron Golem overspawning (30s panic cooldown, 10m gossip cooldown, 64x32x64 detection bounding box).
