I'm up for it!

3D map rooms are possbile in that update. Those will be super cool!

Interesting, could greatly add variety to wood builds where you just want the bark look!

Oh my gosh, that's wonderful for the chests. Plus I'm super stoked about no more flippin ghost blocks. But what are BARK blocks?

Oop xD

First off, I'd like give a hand for Harvester and the amazing flamingo event they put out! That was truly some hard work and dedication and an inspiration to the rest of the server! ^^ I wanted to wait to post this to not get in the way of the amazing event that was taking place. Without further ado...
NerdNation Adventure Team's First Event!
Wooo! Like what Nerdie said in NN's status update things have been pretty hectic. And with that since our reveal of NNAT... nothing really happened. We realized we were still in a time of uneasiness. But now NN has a firm foothold we can step off of and the future looks bright! Thank you to those who are still showing interest in NNAT!
Alrighty, now that we are ready actually get this thing going we're excited to announce NNAT's first event!! I like to call it the introductory event since it's more of a way to get to know everyone in the group and have a good ol relaxing time. If you were in NNAT you should of seen the announcement of this event on our discord far ahead of time. But I wanted to wait till the Harvester's Event was done to announce it on forums.
Details: This event is happening on Friday, January 19 @ 8PM EST! This event will not be taking place on Crafty Mynes, but instead on a fun little mafia game called Town of Salem. It's a great social game and is totally free (since it runs on browser) to have fun as our introductory event on NNAT! If you are interested please PM either me or @NerdieBirdieYT if you'd like to join NNAT
What is NNAT?
NNAT is a public group currently hosted by the NN faction. It's open to mostly everyone and is just a fun group to hang out with. To experience the fun of Crafty Mynes and each other! (Doesn't matter if you're part of a different faction, we'd love to have you here)
IMPORTANT NOTE: This group is in no way a faction. No bases exist under this group or of the like. NNAT is a public event group meant to bring players together of all kinds from Crafty Mynes!
Future Events
For future events after this one, we have public events in the works that everyone in NNAT can participate in that will be happening on CraftyMynes! Plus we have even bigger plans to partner with our allies to host crazy awesome events transforming what NNAT is capable of doing! Exciting things are in store and we invite you to join us!

This is really cool! Hope this starts a trend and more events like these happen in the future! ^^

Wait so is this like a real life simulator or something?

Honestly, I feel any faction can have a purpose to being on the server. To me its more of the kind of people that make up that faction and its purpose. This is a raiding server so therefore there will be pvp based factions. They are needed to keep that interesting, also factions built on family grow the community. Factions that build create wonderful structures for people to discover. These factions breath life into the server but if the people that make those factions up are terrible. It amounts to little. Therefore, I believe it comes down to the individual.

Here's my one cent: As making "factories" could help produce things really well and efficiently, this brings up stock and lowers price. When there is too much prices can plummet and hinder everyone from making enough money. Solving one problem and making another. Though I agree eleytras, rockets, and totems are a rarity, totems and eleytras aren't even craftable and rockets require gunpowder which to turn into a factory means a creeper farm which is unlikely on CM. Though, I in no way want to down playing helping others. But doing it on such a grand scale requires immense amounts of effort.
