No items required, just loads of mining time saved.

I can post the coords for the dig here or send them to you if you want to look for yourself, I'm not to concerned about greifing, since we're leaving and it's just a hole in the ground.

On the new server I would like to see the community chest back in spawn. Also have more mini games and interaction in spawn. Maybe like a golf course or ender pearl course little stuff like that eventually. Also it would be nice to travel from the nether to the end without getting attacked. Once you get to the end pvp as usual of course. Also with this new rent a plot. It would be cool to have some way to leave comments on their work. Maybe have a book and quill or a hoppers to drop stuff in as a form of rating. A book and quill could get out of hand. Maybe a redstone light tower controlled with a thumbs up button and a thumbs down button? Also an in game comment section maybe a hopper to drop a book and quill in with ideas or comments. Once again could get out of hand, but these are all just thoughts and ideas.

Awesome I know you're giving it 150% just some thoughts.

When you say no items, do pistons and hoppers count? And what if my "base" were to be made up of a stack of said blocks that fit perfectly in a single chunk? If we're going this route I want to know what I can get away with, cause my redstone devices will be what I miss from my 1.8 base. #noshame

I'm against moving over any kind of farm, generator, grinder, redston device or other functional creation to the new server. I think it should be cosmetic artistic creations only.

And how about if I simply took my existing mats on the 1.8 server, and made a brand new base on the world surface specifically to have it transferred to 1.9? In my mind that's the smartest use of the resources we've accumulated.

I will be starting over from scratch and that suits me just fine. The only thing I'll miss is my trophy wall full of heads. I guess I could always go back to the legacy server to see them.

I realize a lot of people have spent a lot of time on this server. However a fresh start is the way to go. It will set an even playing field for everyone.

There is no librarian villager in the VIP lounge. i really like my librarian villagers. Please if one could be put in i would really appreciate it. and some villagers do not give XP when trading not sure if anything can be done about this.

I really like that microsoft does some performance updates with minecraft. i was wondering if i could donate a lot of money and you get more ram for the server and increase the render distance? how much money would i need to donate to increase render distance? or due to that more render distance will cause also more CPU usage that we will never increase render distance?

We try not use enchant villagers since they end up screwing the economy.

The main problem with the render distance isnt ram but CPU power, luckily however there is a solution, we will be upgrading our server from an Oc4770k to 6700k at some point in the near future.
Mojang will then hopefully fix 1.9 entities from increasong exponetially to quadratically which should dramatically improve peformance too.

After these two large changes we hope that render distance can be increased back to 6
