@Valgys I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. When we say server, I think we're referring to the IP rather than the actual hardware.

I recall the border of CM was immense awhile back (talking 18+ months back). I know my base was at something like 400k from Spawn. Back then when I asked the size of the border the response was that it was "virtually infinite" from the staff. There was even a player reported living over 1 million blocks away. Before TPs, TPAs, warps, and the common use of the nether roof for travel and most of the other luxuries players have now.

And to my original point, there weren't rampant raids or base discoveries back then even when players self-imposed their own travel borders to around 100k from Spawn.

Ahh yeah, it was 1million come to think of it, I remember that I had to relocate some people when I downsized the border.

A fully generated 100k world is about 1tb per dimension. Our current world takes up 32gb, thats 3.2% of the total world that has been generated so far (keep in mind that up to 10k is fully generated already, accounting for 8.6gb of that 32gb)

@iDogeTwinkie I was on this server when it had 30m border and I can tell you it was the laggiest motherfucker of a server alive and even with the best options when it comes to gear for the server. Crafty bought the best of the best stuff and it decreased lag. Let's not mention how many people were online each day.

If it was for the increasing, I'd suggest to increase it 200k on each direction. I think server could go with almost same lag as it is now. If not, let it be as it is. :)

This server never had a 30 million border, it has been 100k since day one. It was because we were on a shared host with 512mb of ram.

Hey Blue,

A long time ago I was in a terrible place, I never talked to anyone and getting up to go to school was an impossible task. I started this server halfway through my grade 12 year and immediately I saw how powerful a community of like minded people could be. I began to get excited to get up and even more so to talk to complete strangers online (which trickled into talking to people in real life). My grades went from barely passing with C-'s to achieving some of the highest marks in the class with my worst mark being a B+ and everything else an A or higher. This server has taught me so much in the last few years, it has developed me as a person, showed me responsibility. However, most importantly CraftyMynes has given me something to wake up for (and stay up for hours until I pass out from exhaustion). I'm glad that the effort I, the staff and the community have put in has benefited at least one person.

Please don't do this again, you have been unbanned.

@gilbertboys Now that the server has been reset how do you plan on making the server draw in new players and keep them? Is the plan for the server just aquire more player?

We are always adding new features found in no other servers. We try to keep on top of the list as it makes it much easier to acquire new players. Many changes have been made to the new player experience in hopes to keep more players. I added a new vote link not too long ago for both more votes for players and a new source of advertisement.

@ardoasms now back to topic: what tools and useful items, if any do you carry on your person every day

In my left pocket, I carry my wallet, phone charger and cable. In my right I have my phone and my multi-tool (yes, my phone gets destroyed by my multi-tool). I have my keys attached to my belt loops so I can't lose them and I put my headphones in my right pocket of my hoodie.

@SovietSuperman_ Hi Crafty, that is all

Hi

@Retrochewy Get an iphone6

I was going to get an iPhone 7 but I just can't do my job without a headphone jack. Im going to wait until my current phone breaks or if the iphone 8 comes out with wireless charging.

I thought you could do it with optifine, I might be wrong though.
