Earthquake

1.5.0: Quake behavior and performance

Performance

• Replaced surface block scans with heightmap lookups.
• Reduced object allocation during earthquakes to help prevent lag spikes.
• Connected the performanceMultiplier and maxBlockOperationsPerTick settings so you can tune the workload for your server.

Effects and gameplay

• Replaced jittery screen shake with smoother, sine-wave motion.
• Added smoke and dust rising from cracks across the quake radius, plus falling ceiling dust indoors and underground.
• Quakes now push players around, making movement harder at high intensity.
• Reworked the intensity scale. Intensity 1 is roughly as strong as the old intensity 10; intensity 20 causes much more severe destruction.
• Animals interrupt their normal behavior and run around in panic during a quake.
• Improved the physics for falling trees and ground cracks.
