To be fair mojang are clearly moving over to multithread use, allowing your processor to share the load, going by the last error we had and also the messages you get when starting up a server. Handshakes between processors are actually very tricky and it is no great surprise that changing over is throwing up some server crashes and other problems. Hopefully much of this will be sorted when 1.14.3 comes out.

Thank you for your sincere apology and ban appeal.

You built a duping machine and the rules are quite clear on this:

Any form of cheating will not be tolerated - This means anything that gives you an unfair advantage over players who are playing the game the way the game was intended to be played. This includes but is not limited to: non-approved clients (hacked clients, minimaps), abusing in-game glitchs (duping, x-ray, breaking bedrock) and xray texture packs.

So yes the hole in the ceiling of the nether also broke the rules.

We don't pardon accounts of those caught duplicating. As for your friend, since you have accepted full responsibility for the duping machine, i will consider reinstating him if he makes his own appeal.

didnt they used to stop being aggro'd when you log out?

In the meantime if everyone sprinkled torches liberally around their bases and caves.....

@CraftyMyner I say, wait for 1.14.3 to come out, see what it brings to the table, but, if it can't hold more than 5 people without lagging, we will have to switch or risk disappearing altogether.

Makes sense.

I understand what you are saying - i joined CM precisely because it was vanilla. But we are losing players fast at the moment partly because they find the lag intolerable and partly because of the no of bugs introduced with 1.14. With each update it has become harder and harder to support a reasonable number of players on the server at the same time without getting serious lag.

Whilst my heart will always be true vanilla, my brain has come to the conclusion that CM must seriously consider if it is time to convert to semi vanilla.

I would stress that even if we do use spigot to enhance performance there will be no plugins that change gameplay so it will still be the game as it is intended to be played and I believe Crafty can integrate all the current services and perks we enjoy into it so you wont actually notice any difference other than the lack of lag.

As for being a drop in the semi-vanilla ocean and not being special - i don't think it is only the vanilla element that makes this place special. The dedication to the integrity of the server by ensuring it is played fairly, the community, the staff and Crafty's skill in making things work all contribute to the specialness. I am sure if we went semi-vanilla we would soon be at the top of the listings.

Whilst I would not want to pressure anyone to vote either way, I do encourage folks to keep an open mind over the prospective change.

i think if we changed to spigot we would also be in their hands waiting for them to update after mojang does

Thank you for your application.
