If you load a region file it changes the last modified time to the current time. This can be used to see when the last time someone was in it. All files are added to a list to be reset which checked against the list of homes, bed spawns, and last logged out positions to make sure there is no conflict with a player who has left for an extended period of time.

@TimmyBoyT I must be mathing wrong. When you say chunks you mean the standard 16x16 chunks or something else?

It's been a long day. You are right, I meant region files, they are 512 x 512.

@birdfrock Why would Crafty say it is known if there's no evidence?

I misspoke, the right wording should have been assumed or believed.

@TimmyBoyT 128 in each direction hopefully. To preserve all the mob proofing.

Region files are 512 x 512 so that would be the minimum distance.

@Schlocked now if you don't login for 6 months your base is deleted. sick! awesome addition

.homes will not be reset.

I am really saddened to see this post. I have not been around enough to see the state of the current griefing going on in the server. I have taken some time to see it with my own eyes and talk to the staff and I believe we have come up with a solution. https://forum.craftymynes.com/10333-worldborder-size-doubled

We will continue to work towards a server that everyone can enjoy no matter what style they are into. We hope you can join us again and continue to be apart of our community.

It no secret that there have been many bases griefed lately. While we are a griefing and raiding server, our priority is our player base and community. If too many players are unhappy with getting raided so easily there will be no player base left for the griefers to hit. It's known that some of these griefers were using exploits to find bases and we want to do something about it.

We have doubled the size of the map which actually adds 400% more area for players to build. We also had added some more protections to help track down players who are not playing fair. One of which is deleting chunks older than 6 months, if you wish to keep older chunks, please visit them at least once every 6 months.

We suggest that players look at previous time lapses like this one:

Notice how many players make straight lines out to where they end up building, these have been known ways for players to follow loaded chunks to players bases.

Sorry, tebex does not handle name case correctly so it got delivered to Shvex and not shvex. You should be all fixed now!

The name case was wrong, I have fixed it. Thanks!!

Np!
