Thank you for posting this lovely showcase of your base.

Looking forward to seeing you next fantastic build.

We will be opening in just under one hour.

Get ready!!!

Crafty has been working through the small hours with a little bit of help from me to bring you the latest update.

Due to all the many technical updates, it was decided it is time for a reset.

We are currently testing and hope to open the server for the usual dragon race later today. You will get an hour's notice.

Venture into the hazardous Trial Chambers alone or with friends, face off against the new Breeze mob and craft a smashingly powerful new weapon, the Mace! Take your ingenious Redstone designs to new heights with the Crafter, play around with the Wind Charge, discover new decorative blocks made of Copper and Tuff, enjoy new Paintings, Music Discs, and more!

Hoping to update at the weekend. Keep your eyes peeled!

I personally am looking forward to the new Crafter - both using it and seeing what amazing things you can all come up with.

Thank you @CeruleanHusky for your post. I'm back properly now, after the real world got in the way for a while, but Crafty is really busy.

I personally agree its time to start fresh on discord and if we timed it with the expected update to 1.21 and insisted you actually play on the server to join the discord? Basically the general chat is just drivel, and lots of 'goodbyes' as people leave the server. Quite frankly I would not want the young people in my family who all play minecraft, though mostly not on a public server, to join the discord server as it stands and I think it is quite off-putting.

As far as vanilla is concerned, yes Craftymynes is technically vanilla, as it uses the unaltered jar file, but with the creature comforts it doesn't really feel vanilla to a lot of people. Changing over to semi vanilla with paper would bring performance improvements, but integrating it with all Craftymynes systems isn't a 5 minute job, and Crafty simply doesn't have time to do it.

Many people have moved over to bedrock, and java is getting left behind. I don't think there is a simple answer, I'm afraid, but for now we carry on and I will do what I can to help.

Me too. Would love to see the old dog back

A complete refresh of the discord woukd seem likexa good idea to me

I am looking forward to seeing these builds!

New blood is key and as i said before making new players welcome

Most of the old player base quit because they grew up, left school, got jobs and generally got bored with minecraft or just simply dont have time to play.
