    How do we make submissions? Do we build a mansion on the server or can we send superflat saves or structure files with our builds? Also, to be clear, 29x 30y 40z space is the updated size of the plot right? This is exciting!

    Gelta started the conversation THOR THREATENS OUR BASES.

    Today a thunderstorm started naturally on the server. It was quickly stopped by a player using the clear weather command but every thunderstorm is a potential co-ordinate leak.

    Please for the love of bases can someone fix this. I think everyone will be thankful for it.

    I was VERY premature when I first wrote this. I blame all the 1.20 news being released as that 1.19 update was in its pre releases, lol.

    Well, now Mojang has anounced tomorrow (June 7th) as the offical release date. What level of reset are we going for? None, partial or full? Id still love to know.

    The incoming Tales & Trails update makes changes to desert structures and adds the cherry tree biome. It also adds new items to the nether that in the new version, are needed to actually make netherite equipment.

    With the update in its pre releases, im curius as to how much of the map will be reset or expanded for these. Will we be journeying in search of exotic lands for this update or starting out fresh? Thanking anyone in the know in advance for news on this.

    Gelta started the conversation Gelta's Second VPN Ban Appeal.

    After several months not playing here I started logging in again. Yesterday I remembered to turn off the VPN but this morning I didnt and I regret it.

    I would love to keep playing here and my only prior infraction is the first time I forgot to... turn the VPN off...

    Thanking any staff member in advance should my plea be heard.

    My ingame name is Gelta too.

    I should know by now not to try and log on to the server with a VPN on, but today I did.

    I honestly forgot about the measures against ban evasions. Im sorry to be a nuasance but can someone help? Im not currently banned for anything else and would like to keep playing here.

    EDIT: Now that im pondering my forgetfulness I realise I logged in the other day with my VPN on too. I should probably explain that Craftymynes is the only thing I actually turn my VPN off for these days. Having not logged in for a while until the other day, I was totally out of the habbit of disabling it. Again, sorry for the hassle. I guess I should have a pinned note somewhere.

    I guess im assuming the ground part of a chunk is what takes the most proccessing. Next map, it will be twice as thick, though hopefully not twice as demanding on the server.

    This might be premature to ask about. Im bothering to ask because we already know the 1.17 map is going to be about a third taller than the 1.16 map. Plus the update seems to be reaching critical mass content wise.

    Will the 1.17 map for Craftymynes be less than 100k in each direction then? Obviusly there will be more data to save for each chunk, and the added vertical space would arguably give players more hiding space up near the build height limit and down in the depths of the new giant caves.

    Have the Craftymynes staff or owner had any thoughts on this, I would love to know, though maybe just because im a bit nosy, lol.

    I had a small house on a small swamp island last map, so I landscaped the hell out of it.

    My animals and crops were all in a small backyard so I made the rest of the island look like a flower garden and a leasure spot. Beds of sunflowers and roses, wheelbarrows, grills and picknick spots. I made bootleg willow trees by growing regular oaks, then modifying the trunks and bringing the leaves down to make them look droopy.

    On the side of the island I made my own private little beach. It was regularly invaded by huge slimes but made a good fishing spot all the same. Im weirdly proud of the little streams I made to one side with the sugarcane. Its meant to look like wild reeds.

    There was some extra space around the back of the island so I turned it into a berry bush thicket. It was kind of nice to imagine myself going back there with a basket every now and then to pick berries. Too bad minecraft dosent have jam.

    Round the other side of the island was a connecting path that lead to a flower patch behind the backyard. It also leads to a small wine cave.

    In contrast to the garden, the house and yard are much less detailed and more functional. I still tried to keep it cozy looking and make the space look good though.

    My favorite part of the house was the small greenhouse area between the smithy and the garden. I guess I just like being sourunded by plants, lol.

    A final note about the rock formations around the island. They were the first thing I put down and I think they make the rest of the area work by providing a natural looking divide to certain parts of the island. Il miss the place.

    A wonderful showcase of what this server is about and what it has to offer. Its always impressed me that Craftymynes was able to provide as much freedom as it does to its players, and still allow for such ambitious builds to come about.
