Unobtrusive drinking to help bad ping players

Postby SnuggleSnail » Mon Aug 22, 2022 7:07 am

At the moment any movement click cancels your drink at that time, which is kinda difficult to deal with sometimes for people with higher ping, because they're slower to start drinking and might be forced to change direction before the first sip gets off.

Suggestion:
Individual sips are no longer cancelable, but drinking (queuing multiple sips) cancels before the next sip begins with all of the same conditions as current drinking.

just add a sippy hat that makes you automatically drink forever during other actions because the entire gameplay of drinking for stamina is stupid anyways

every click seems to lag the character a bit too, like if you spam click in the same direction you are not as fast as if you click far and wait which is weird

also on default client with the map open without compact mode enabled, i find myself type my hotkeys to drink and instead it starts searching for a marker on the map

as i explore though and find aurochs i swap out my waterskins from water to milk, and sometimes accidently start drinking the milk instead of water so it would still be nice to be cancable

Also happens on Ender's, but you can use Alt+A to quickly toggle between compact and full mode, so you can just briefly enable full mode to modify markers and switch back immediately afterwards without much hassle. Not sure if the default client also has that shortcut.
