Suggestion Haven Spawn Pool!

[Capichinola]

Just a quick suggestion I had, maybe it is the way it is for a reason, I do not know!

When you spawn/warp to the Haven spawn, you land in a pool of water that is head-deep. Occasionally due to lag, you can spawn and end up in the pool before your game catches up- and by than you can be already suffocating due to the lack of air.

My suggestion is to keep the pool, but put a base underneath so that a player isn't totally submerged upon entering Spawn.

Thank you for reading!

Yesterday, actually, my friend and I went to Haven spawn from the nexus and he spawned in the ground. Shortly after he drowned, dropped all his stuff, and some guy that happened to be standing nearby was standing on him to collect. Not really fair, honestly, considering the circumstances. So yes, I agree.

I'm still concerned about this and just posting again.

More or less this is two blocks deep so players can fall and not take damage. We'll probably change this to one block depth and see if anyone takes damage.

Can't you fall any number of blocks into a 1-deep water pool and not take damage? I thought that was how it worked. I could be wrong.

It's seemingly random, though I bet there is some thing about it. Sometimes I die in one-block water holes, sometimes I don't.
Maybe it's if you hold space, you don't, because you swim upwards the same second you hit it...? I don't know, but that might be why...

Well, I just tested in SMP, vanilla. 1 deep water pool, fly 200 blocks above, switch to survival, fall and live without touching the keyboard.
Doesn't necessarily make SENSE, lol, but it's minecraft, what does?

I'm up for betting the randomness is the server thinking you didn't hit the water.

It's touch and go with 1 block of water depending on distance, lag, whether people are holding jump and a few other things

No, when there's a 1-deep water pool it depends on when you jumped if you had just walked off the edge or had jumped. Jumping off makes you die when you hit the water, walking off makes you live. I don't know if they have changed this in recent patches, but i'm almost positive this is how it worked before.

This is wrong, I just tested it.

Well more players die from lagging and drowning than taking fall damage. For that reason I support this suggestion.

coughcough it was singleplayer it happend to me coughcough

 

[Carbash]

Test it with half block under the water. I think that will work.

 

[Templar_James]

How about we buy better internet connection and better graphics cards for everyone that would be best solution I think

 

[Capichinola]

The pool has been edited to 1 deep, and it seems there are no further problems, either in height from falling or depth on drowning.

Thank you.

Single player still runs as client-server as of release 1.3
