Re: blockpicker inf jumps gives 1000 instead of -1

This is coded directly into the client (and in turn, the server). Not sure if this is a bug but you could say it's an inconsistency.

Re: blockpicker inf jumps gives 1000 instead of -1

Does this actually change any functionality within the game? I'm pretty sure it doesn't, (if you have 1000 jumps, they aren't decremented), in which case I think it would be fine as it is
I'm pretty sure this was just a decision to make the code not need 20 extra condidions / checks, as 1000 would always be enough jumps anyway, you just need to not decrement the number of jumps you have left

With this logic, it could be any number over 0 and as long as it didnt decrement it would be infinite

Well any number above 999 (as <= 999 are used for non infinite numbers of jumps), thats why they used 1000

if you have 1K jumps it still loses jumps so this if surely a bug

Its hard coded so that if you have 1000 jumps then they dont decrease, just stay at 1000

I was just saying that as an example

Im pretty sure they dont...
Im testing it now, and ill edit this reply when I get a result
Ok tested it now, your jumps definately dont decrease
I was jumping under some blocks for 5+ mins 10+ mins now at over 5 jumps per second, so thats more than 1000 jumps

Re: blockpicker inf jumps gives 1000 instead of -1

I reported this because 1000 doesnt look as nice in the display compared to -1
and it's the only way to get a 1000

Ok I agree now lol
