@HaloNest hello, I'd like to have 5 mending books for 30 blocks of emeralds

You can get mending for 3 diamonds a book, don't waste 30 Emerald Blocks.

Well actually I was thinking this myself recently.
However you are correct that there is some technical hurdles to come over.

IIRC the legacy map was about 70GB which is more space than most players have and can run on their internet connection.
Which rules out the large majority however even sharing it between a couple of players would take days.
The best way I can think to do this, if it's decided we would do this, is via a torrent to share the load.
I could put it on my 1GBPs server too to help ease the load a lot and provide 24/7 seeding.

Of course the command blocks and other sensitive things would need to removed but it would be great to see the old base and the ruins of 1.8 such as Pancakia
I also had a little idea for a project of mapping the whole 1.8 in journeymap.

How could you possibly hope to stop people raiding it when you invite so many people to it ?
Nevermind the fact you can't get s dragon Egg block.

Dealt with.
Thanks for report.

Adding craftycrates as a separate option would just reduce take away from the value of VIP+ and lead to less long term monthly donators.
There really isn't any good reason to provide this option either. If you want to see what a craftycrate is like, just buy VIP+. Nothing stopping you from unsubscribing.
