[Discussion] Carpet rules about modpack HOT 6 CLOSED

The primary utility for Carpet is the op commands for manipulating tick speed and profiling to help find and resolve bugs on the server. Renewable Blackstone, Coral, and Deepslate is a nice addition though. (Renewable Sponges is nice on paper, but being able to convert Guardians into Elder Guardians can only end poorly. Still up for consideration though)

Moveable Tile Entities is also an option, not sure how well that functions though.

• antiCheatDisabled - would allow for more freedom with stuff like custom hex flight solutions
• chainStone - cool directional pseudo-slimeblock
• commandProfile - can help to diagnose lag in your base
• ctrlQCraftingFix - mass crafting things go brr
• lightningKillsDropsFix - become god of thunder while still collecting mob drops
• movableBlockEntities - fun redstone shenanigans
• optimizedTNT - less lag for hopefully the same effect is almost always good
• renewableBlackstone, renewableCoral, renewableDeepslate, renewableSponges - renewability go brr

Thoughts on these?

• Wither rose chunkloaders: balanced vanilla-y chunkloading instead of just a menu in your inventory
• /playerme + keepalive: fake players that only work if you're targeting yourself, for automated afk when you're offline
• /cam: safe/fair spectator mode

The wither rose chunkloaders seem like they could pretty easily result in a lot of lag, with how it's not too difficult to make wither rose farms IIRC. KyanBirb posted a mod in the suggestions discord thread that has chunkloader blocks which can be configured so that any given player can only have so many active, maybe use that? (I'm adding it to the spreadsheet now)
Edit: looks like it doesn't have a 1.19.2 Fabric version, dang

I admittedly don't know much about the capabilities of Carpet's fake player stuff, but couldn't they present worse server performance issues than having unlimited chunk loaders?

Even with the restrictions of not being able to use it for travel or escaping fights and such, I think access to spectator mode would be too easily abused for purposes like finding lots of otherwise-rare structures, or close-together geodes that all have slipways, that sort of thing.

I concur. While having an in-world chunkloader is good, having it be centered around Wither Roses would make it trivial for players to chunkload vast areas, resulting in incredible lag.

Same goes for the fake player command, we don't really need a player to automate most things. Carpet's utilities are largely focused around Vanilla, so the fake player to AFK is likely an aspect of that. A simple chunkloader would resolve this issue.

Hard pass on the spectator mode. Trivializes exploration and is way too easy to abuse.

CommandProfile is likely covered by Spark, so not sure how necessary that is. It can be enabled if we do run into issues though, since that's more of a server-side config.

I thought the fake players worked quite well on Arcane Compendium. They didn't seem to cause lag afaik. They allow automatic xp farms, fortune, etc, without having to actually leave your computer connected. That's probably actually less laggy because it's entirely server-side at that point. Also, I'm pretty sure most chunkloaders, unlike fake players, don't do random ticks.
