Sounding #27

Open chrisbecke opened 8 years ago

chrisbecke commented 8 years ago

The new "Sounding" property on the Pickaxe has some problems, that for me at least, has rendered it entirely useless: I've found I've just stopped using it.

  1. The duration of the ore highlight is too short. Previously you could have a look around which helped judge how far ores were away.
  2. It highlights ores that are too far away - the screen is basically full of noise. Along with the quick duration I cannot tell which direction will be better anymore as there are sparks everywhere.
  3. The lava and water highlighting is gone: This was very useful, especially in the nether.

Ironically, Sounding now triggers all the time when I am opening chests or using objects. I guess it feels lonely.

I thought the range of sounding was tier dependent. So get a lower tier :x Rest seemed to be a deliberate design choice (see Azanors forum comments before he dropped the corresponding update) when introducing the new infusion enchantments, so probably won't changed.

I like how it is. Although it can be annoying, I simply don't equip my pickaxe when I'm not mining, as to not create annoying accidental sounds, and dig winding tunnels under the earth to get to whatever minerals my sounding shows.

I would like it if it showed for longer at higher tiers, to counter the too much noise effect.
