Server Software
I've wanted to move HCFR to custom server software for years but I was never able to give it the correct time and energy it would have needed. Now is finally the time and I've very happy with the results.
The goal of HCFR's custom server software is to keep it a modern version completely untouched and only revert combat mechanics if the player is holding a "legacy item". Holding a legacy item triggers the legacy features to activate.
What is a "Legacy Feature"?
Legacy Features are patches applied on top of the modern version server software that revert game logic whenever you're holding a "legacy item". A legacy item as of right now is all of the swords.
Legacy Features:
- Weapon Damage
- Knockback
- Armor
- i-frames
- Fishing Rods
- Sword Blocking
The combat may have been rewritten but it will not feel 1:1 with 1.7 because there are several aspects of the game client and how it interacts with the server that will still make it feel fundamentally different but in our opinion it is much closer to 1.7 style combat.
This server software is now on Arena and ready to be tested.
