File Name

Shards-0.4.2.jar

Supported Versions

  • Early Access
  • Add system to clean up orphaned rift blocks still present in the world.
  • Made it so you can't enter a rift if the other side is a collapsing shard world.
  • Changed up the lifetimes of all shard worlds and rifts to stagger them so they don't just all collapse at the same time.
    • Leaving the exact numbers a mystery but the ranges are...
      • Shard worlds range from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours.
      • "Home Rifts" range between 30 min and 50 min.
      • "Zone Rifts" range between 48 min and 66 min.
  • Added notification popups to indicate the lifetime status when you enter a shard world as well as when it changes.
    • This is a temporary measure as a better solution is figured out.
