What's new

• A balloon can now oscillate up and down (swinging in the wind)
• Improved performance

Oscillator (swing)
A balloon can swing up and down following a sinus curve. Therefore we have add two new rule parameters:
oscillatorPeriod: 100
oscillatorAmplitude: 0.1
To enable the oscillator (swing) you must set the following flag in the template:
oscillating: true
You can find more information about this in the Wiki, or see our example demo2.
Swinging is currently only avail for pets. We will add support for walls and optimize the swinging for animals in the next release.


Performance
As soon as the balloon stands still, the balloon goes to sleep, which means there is no movement calculation or validity check.
So a sleeping balloon consumes almost no CPU load (except micecraft's own entity handling).
The balloon wakes up if it detects a player action e.g. player move. A balloon with an oscillator (swing) associated cannot goto sleep.


Other improvements
We have found a strange behaviour in minecraft: If a Falling Block is positioned at y=64 and has another Falling Block on top of it,
the Falling Block gets invalid after est. 3 Ticks. To prevent this, we have added a warning in the config loader
which prohibits positioning walls at this height. You can turn off the warning by setting the following rule parameter:
enableWarnY64Walls: false


Attention
Please delete the old config so that the new configuration demos can take effect.
