As the title says, I suggest changing the sethome from using the book to using a bed. This way, the home of each player will be physically visible even if they are offline. This has some advantages, particularly those unwanted TPA griefer/raider to your base will need to set a bed making it harder for them to lay their evil plans. This avoids some known scenario where people accidentally tpa to them an unwanted player and this player set home in their base.

Make a huge room 4-block high below the nether roof bedrocks. That way ghast will spawn but cant really fly away so you can kill them with looting 3 swords

Wow, I need to redesign some of my grinders

Clearing an ocean? You can also do this:

Sounds interesting but as Im trying to be a purist, I would not want to experiment on this. Have fun anyways.

Why dont you put this in "show and tell" section

Lol. You still remember that. Thats also my worst.

bump for the reason I want to hear the staff's opinion.

Hmmn. Funny, but if someone asked to join you by posting in this thread will that give some hint who are in your faction?

@_Haxington_ Don't get an alienware, those are overpriced for what you are getting.

Go for an asus rog or similar. The one I got is 1500USD and I have nvidia gtx 970m, Intel core i7 4700HQ, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB hard drive (can be upgraded to solid state drive), 1080p display, and amazing design!

Buy a gaming laptop like Hax specs. I got mine last year for almost the same price range and specs - Acer V17 nitro black. And choose a solid state drive if you dont like to wait.
