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).

Quick Start

Pterodactyl & Existing Hosts (Recommended):

  1. Download server.jar and place it in your server root.
  2. Ensure your startup command is set to standard Java execution: 
    java -Xms1G -Xmx4G -jar server.jar
  3. Start the server from your panel. The bootstrap JAR will automatically detect your OS/architecture, download the matching native PotatoMC binary, and pipe console I/O seamlessly!

Standalone Windows:

  1. Download potato-windows-x86_64.exe into a new folder.
  2. Rename it to potato.exe if desired.
  3. Run .\potato.exe in PowerShell or Command Prompt.

Standalone Linux:

  1. Download potato-linux-x86_64: 
    curl -LO https://github.com/Flaxa-Technologies/potato-mc/releases/download/beta.2.0/potato-linux-x86_64
mv potato-linux-x86_64 potato
chmod +x potato
./potato
