No 1.9+ cannon jars?

[Skullslice]

why are no cannon jars built on 1.9+? did something about entity collisions or timings change making it more difficult to implement 1.7 tnt physics in 1.9+? NO I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A CANNON JAR. I just want to know why people only build their jars on 1.8.8 despite spigot going all the way up to 1.16.1 as of now. Also if I was to go out and develop my own cannon jar for 1.9+ how much more work would it be compared to 1.8.8? Asking for myself and a friend, thanks!

Someone made a 1.9 jar once and stopped working on it in like 2017. I think the main reason is simply because no factions servers (The servers that mainly use cannons in that way) are 1.9+ pvp so there is no need for 1.9 pvp or servers with 1.9+. I also think the owner of vaelox has a 1.9+ jar but he sells that shit for like 5 grand I think. No idea on how much more work it takes vs 1.8 tho

hey really appreciate the feedback! I am still looking for some more answers though and would cherish other feedback. there is a plugin on spigot that reverts pvp in 1.9+ back to 1.8 so this is no problem.

It's not just about the PVP, the performance on 1.8+ for high member counts got absolute sheit, that's also why people stuck with 1.8, I'm not sure but I think this has improved but people are very careful with upgrading. I think people will start upgrading when a big factions server will upgrade & when the performance gets better, but I've got no clue when this is gonna happen.

i know dude it is a shame. I just wanted to be able to cannon in 1.16.1 with working 1.7 cannons : ( I really hope someone comes through with something soon so that I can learn whats taking soooo long.

isn't there also an issue with block id's being full words instead of numbers after 1.8?

yes plugins have all had to switch their ids in order to be compatible against the latest versions. this is why you cant use shop plugins from 1.7-1.12 in 1.13+[DOUBLEPOST=1595182734][/DOUBLEPOST]

im not too concerned about performance as i will be using a 12 core 24 thread cpu to run my server.

theyve been done, putting ur server on 1.9+ means moving away from the 1.8 combat which is basically integral at this stage

I'm not too sure about this but I think minecraft doesn't run on too many cores (unless hardcoded or something, not sure), so that woulnd't matter.
