Reign of Nether RTS

👣 Pathfinding Overhaul 👣

Pathfinding has been massively improved in accuracy and efficiency

• It is auto-enabled on maps with a world border <=1024 blocks in size when the server is started
• It can be toggled in any map using gamerule rtsPathfinding but doing this may lead to performance issues
• Does not apply for slimes and magma cubes

Huge thanks to @soly_dev for helping with this!

⚠️ Mapmakers please note this patch fixes the bug that caused custom buildings to transfer between singleplayer maps - but you can reenable this behaviour with /rtsapi-export-custom-buildings

💹 Market Trading 💹

Every faction now has a market building, requiring (150 wood, 150 ore) and 60 population worth of buildings excluding your capitol as a prerequisite to construct (It doesn't use up population).

Market buildings allow the exchanging of resource types, at a starting rate of 100:75, and reducing by 2 for every trade done. For example, trading 100 food for 75 ore will make the next trade 100 food for 73 ore. However, it will also make the opposite trade become 100 ore for 77 food.

The minimum rate is 100:15 and maximum is 100:135

Market rates are saved to your player data so you can't build a second market to reset them.
