Speaking of the deleted post above me, I came here to actually mention Stefan_MG.

He just appealed his ban 10 hours ago. about say 16 hours ago he entered the server and immediately started to troll the chat. He even decided to specifically target one user due to his name. I replied something along the lines of "I look forward to reading your ban appeal tomorrow."

Well tomorrow is today and look what's on the forum. The odd part was he was banned for things he did later on, and not the initial trolling. So in other words he was basically trolling next to non stop since he came on the server until he was banned.

I love the server, and I like a lot of people on the server, but I am constantly amazed by the uninspired, boring and just straight dumb trolling that goes on. Witty trolling? Sign me up. Funny trolling? Yes please? Straight up picking on people via lies and harassment? No thanks.

More power to you, mods. Modding this server is literally a full time job between the infinite supply of hackers and people who try to ruin chat.

@_lilbezi_ All you need to do is get a lot of emeralds and trade the emeralds for diamonds. If the diamond trading gets locked out and it won't refresh, trade Emerald for Gold or other stuff. I trade emerald for gold because I find gold useful. However, if that gets locked out, I trade Coal for emerald. This method is very useful when it comes to trading with the villagers. I've successfully gotten more than a stack of diamond blocks with this.

Yeah I was starting to do that. I am currently mining a long shaft to a local village, so I am getting lots of ore from that. I wont have to waste as many emeralds this way.

I think I have about 10 blocks of emeralds at the moment, which is a lot for me. i built a pretty large crop farm.

@_Confederacy_ Once you trade enough times on a certain trade on one villager, the villager "locks" that trade and you have to unlock it by trading something else .

I've noticed that mechanic. It seems some villagers are easier to unlock than others.

I'm almost afraid to say which if this is something thats going to be made harder. I definitely do not miss diamond mining.

Can you explain the lock mechanic? This is for emerald to diamond?

What do you mean by server AI?

Ok great, I can try the enchant cheaper stuff to get the seeds to change.

I'll dump the iron stuff in the chest at spawn for the people even more clueless than me haha

I am getting level 30 enchants, yes. I have the book shelves up.

I have tried 3 picks in a row and I keep getting offered the same enchant even though I have enchanted item after item with the same level 30 enchant.

Are the enchant offerings based off of a RNG or something?

I am trying to use level 30+ enchants on my diamond gear. The problem is I keep getting the same offerings from the table, even though I enchanted 3 diamond pickaxes with the max enchant in hopes/assumption that it would get the offering to change.

Can someone give me the ELI5 version of these tables and how the system works?

I attempted to ask in game chat but a single troll managed to take over the entire thing simply by mentioning a politicians name, and the chat turned into an argument about server rules instead of anything productive.

From a casual player who only does the basic things that MC has to offer, there doesn't seem to be much of a public economy on the server.

Nothing has a "set" value, or anything close to it, it seems. People will frequently demand that the buyer name their price 1st, seemingly due to no one really knows what it's worth on the server and is out on a fishing expedition.

I even had a player in chat asking to buy X item. 2 of us responded that we had the items for sale, and the person actually demanded that we haggle with him to sell it to him at the lowest price. the guy literally wanted the 2 sellers to undercut each other so he could get a deal, and wanted the sellers to do all the work on some relatively worthless item.

it was weird. Very strange economy. Doesn't seem well developed.

@_Confederacy_ I believe Any crop can be farmed and traded at spawn for emeralds (16 crop for 1 emerald) and then said emeralds traded for diamond (6 emeralds for 2 daimonds) I already did the math, you need 48 stacks of said crop to get one stack of diamond, which can easily be achieved in one day if you have a big enough to farm for it.

The problem I run into is the NPC's will only trade so much and seem to have some sort of cool down.
