"Perhaps a ingame option to purchase credits using diamond, emerald or gold."

in the trade post players can buy and sell credits.

you might be able to buy some default player vip for credits if the default player was willing to sell.

or buy credits off a vip for diamonds!

Oh my, it appreas i will need ot find a way to get a lot of slime balls to get sticky pistons.

I did not think about the red stone causing lighting updates. That will be something i will have to think about mitigating!

but that does not help me going forward :) what design should i build in the future?

so when one of my auto farms was being greifed the greifer talked that the auto farm was a bad design for the server. but when i asked they did not give me suggestions on how to make it more server friendly :(

I am wondering does someone know the best auto farm for the server?

I got a beafy computer so i do not care if the auto farm causes fps to drop. i just want to make sure that the auto farm is not hurting the server in any meaningful way.

Players can buy or sell credits in the trade post with other players

players can buy elytras with credits.

players can warp using credits

I think the vote streak rewards need to disappear. we already have way more than enough reward for voting.

however i found helpful. If there is something you need to do daily. set an alarm on your phone. there are 4 voting websites so if you really want the vote streak set an alarm to go off every 6 hours. and vote every time the alarm goes off at a different website. that way if you miss 3 votes. you can still get the streak!

on that note i would love voting to be more rewarding! shulker shells should be able to be purchased in spawn for 50 votes :) but that is just because i am greedy and want more! and credits should be able to buy one emerald block.

I always prefer lazy farms! The observers are constantly on guard for melons to grow!

and when a melon grows the observer uses their piston attachments to kill the pumpkin and melons!

the dead melons and pumpkins fall into the water to be carried into pit of lava to be destroyed!

You will never see such a efficient melon killing set up!

edit2: I got to thank maggiadaskan(sp?) for help building the farm!

What i found fun to do. is start small bases each day!

use the rtp and start a new small base :) then spawn a wither to protect the base from greifers!

It is interesting. the smae things that keep life interesting keep crafty mynes interesting!

going for a walk to explore the woods.

helping some new player start. not nowing when the new player will tp an alt in to kill you :)

building art!

I do wonder when the player base of crafty mynes gets older if the play styleswill change.

most younger people do what they are told. they need a boss to tell them what to produce. they need a teacher to tell them what to work on and what to do for homework. only once a person gets to be 65 to 80 do they need to learn how to keep themselves content! this is sad for me. because there is shown staticts that when peopel retiree from their jobsthey die shortly :( just liek in crafty mynes. once players get what they were seekign they stop playing. they do not know how to keep themselves occupied! i wonder if psychologists will learn in minecraft how to help retired people learn self direction!

tl:dr; create art! there can never be too much art!

Most of those rules i have heard spoken in public chat!

one rule that i have never heard of in chat is what goes up must come down.

no one eve talks about gravity in crafty mynes!

I have not done much testing of it but i assume gravity is a constant based on the number of players on the server. people always fall at one meter per second when player count is below ten. and always fall at 0.5 meters per second when player count is above 80!

I think we need to switch away from a commodity currency to a fiat currency!

people only trade in diamonds because they can use the diamonds themselves

where as if we switched to emeralds. players an only use emeralds if they trade with other players or computers!

so if we switched to using emeralds for all trades it would encourage player participation!

a switch from a commodity currency to a fiat currency would cause the server to appear more active!

Your super quick!

It takes me years to change anything, I always forget passwords and such.
