Tyron Posted March 2, 2025 Report Posted March 2, 2025 Dear Extraordinary Survivalists v1.20.5-rc.1, an unstable release, can now be downloaded through the account manager. This update provides some basic DoS/DDoS protections, should fix chiseling sometimes not working properly anymore as well as a number of other issues. Please note, this version is network incompatible with v1.20.4. In other words, with v1.20.5 you can no longer join a v1.20.4 server. Dwarven Balloon, Screenshot by ANTIFLUX, shared on Discord #screenshots Game updates Feature: Multiplayer server improvements Performance: Slightly better ticks-per-second on large multiplayer servers (Technical info: Improved handling of client packets queue) Protection against one type of denial-of-service attacks (Technical info: Disallow large packets from unauthenticated clients) Two more protections against repeated attempts, disabled by default: server configs TemporaryIpBlockList and LoginFloodProtection. If activated these automatically ban IP addresses when they send invalid packets or when they attempt to connect too many times - more than what a normal user would be able to do. Added command /ipban to list/clear the banned IPs list. The banned IPs list is temporary, it will automatically be cleared if the server is restarted or after a certain amount of time has passed. Please note: These protections only mitigate certain denial-of-service attacks, not all. Additional protection layers are necessary for solid protection, such as the use of iptables against SYN/PSH-ACK floods and/or use of a reverse proxy. Tweak: First person chiseling animation now less view covering Tweak: Smoother transitions between sky colors around midnight Fixed: Old and long-standing bug where selecting a tool mode is sometimes not properly synced to the server. Example while chiseling, bits would disappear or re-appear at random Fixed: Wonky output of /stats command with the connection queue system enabled Fixed: Able to break decor inside land claim Fixed: A unintentional pink block in one of the ruins Fixed: Naming a chiseled block with VTML could cause a client crash when using an invalid path for an icon Fixed: Various fixes in villager dialogue Fixed: Villagers sometimes appearing to stand in their beds Fixed: Villager and some Drifter "hurt" animations were not playing when hurt Fixed: New issues introduced in 1.20.4 Certain dropped items appearing to sink into ground/snow Issues on unstable blocks if sideways falling was enabled as an optional world config Fixed: One rare exception when shutting down a dedicated server Fixed: Command /ban would log an error but the player was still banned and kicked Fixed: Issue where the Beehive Kiln would not work properly when a firewood or peat pile was placed in the clay burning chamber View full record 7 1 2 1 2
