Hello! I go by Storm and I joined hometown October 24th of 2020!
I didn't really start playing consistently until September of 2025 and I also recently got promoted to Guardian 5/29/26. I dont have any threads on the forums so I figured this is a good place to start!
I really love the community on hometown and I'm glad to help out where I can! On Hometown I enjoy building random things that interest me, go mining and just hanging out!
Outside of Hometown I spend a lot of time working on cars, listening to music, woodworking and just driving around! If you ever need anything or have questions feel free to reach out to me on discord (Agent_Storm).
If you ever see me around feel free to say hello and have a lovely rest of your day! : D
Hello! I'm BJ, a local hometown player who's been playing since May(?) of 2025, I'm only just now doing my introduction and making a forums account (whoops D: ).
I like to think I'm kind and helpful on any day. I'm super duper passionate about being the mayor/co-mayor of my many towns :>, Ireland, Bigsburg, The Loft, and a new one that will sooon be revealed.. .
In my free time i enjoy playing Minecraft of course but on the rare occasion I'm not on Minecraft I'm working on one of my many homelab projects or playing one of my other favorite games, usually fallout, GTA, danganronpa or persona. Please if you share any video games interests with me talk to me! i LOVE just yapping about my favorite games. As of right now my favorite songs are "Bored of you" by Agent Orange and "Addicted" by Gucci Mane. but that usually changes like every other week so make sure you ask me.
You'll find me active on the server a LOT, usually daily for a few hours. I'm also hanging out in the discord VC a lot, If I'm ever not in the DC VC you can just ask me to hop on with you and I will! I genuinely love and adore our community as a whole and everyone in it. Which is why I am ALWAYS available to help anyone who would be in need of help :>, I Hope to see everyone who viewed this on the server. Love ya guys!

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): Banned in Hometown server (survival) SMP
Minecraft username: ha3ck3d.
Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): Using xray Zero tolerance Policy
Who banned you: Selfawaredorito
Why should you be unbanned Subject: Unban appeal for [ha3ck3d]
Hi Hometown,
I'm writing this appeal because I want a second chance on the server.
A few days before the ban my brother's pc broke down so I let him use my pc for a couple of days. He managed to log into my account and use xray on Hometown. I didn't realize he did that until I logged on the server and saw my ban message. After I saw the message I asked him what he did and he had used xray on the server.
Of course I am to blame for him being able to log into my account because he used my pc but I never knew he was using my account and that he was cheating. I know that it was my account and that I should've been more careful but please understand that I never wanted to cheat on the server. Hometown is actually my favorite server and it's where I spend most of my time. It took me forever to build my house from scratch and earn all of the money I had. There is no way I would've risked all of that just to cheat for a couple of in game $ like the amount of time I had spent would have never been equal to any amount
I already made sure it will never happen again and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get unbanned even if that means deleting everything I had. Please consider my appeal because I really miss the server and I would love to be a part of the community once again
Why do you want to come back: Tbh I've been thinking about the server for a while I joined a couple of other servers like snug or even donut but it never quite gave me the feel as hometown did alongside that I've spent So long in making my house and also had a decent inventory and balance I know that if I get unbanned by any chance I'll probably won't be able to keep any money it's not like it's a lot anyways but still I know it's the unfortunate reality but from the deepest part of my heart I beg u to consider this, I assure You I will make sure something like this Never HAPPENS again I know it's hard to believe but Please Please believe me
Well, Never hoped I'd see the day but here I am, so without further ado...
Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP
Minecraft username: Feuerstern_44
Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): “Constantly attempting to cheese / gain unfair advantage(s) in server events through various means. […] Please reflect on how you’ve behaved during the events today” (“today” being the 19th of July 2026) […]
The More accurate version (Thank you Dorito, this made this so much more productive and took all the guessing work out of it):
“You were temp banned for 1h at biscuits event despite being warned to not use items outside of the kit. You verbally said in VC that you "didn't care" and continued to” (There’s something omitted/not communicated in that, but I’ll come back to it).
“That was the first time. Then when you came back after the 1h temp ban, you used your tools and wind charges to gain an advantage at Melanies maze event.”
Who banned you: “staff”
Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?):
Well, I can’t really give you a reason. I got banned during Dorito’s parkour event whilst mid-air (out of, from my point of view at that time, nowhere). I will admit to using items I should not have during the Killathon, I have not denied that, and I will not deny that that was wrong. However, after this, as soon as something was declared off limits and I have seen the message I have no longer used said thing.
I will admit I did NOT read chat during Dorito’s parkour, I was locked in on parkouring I was just banned again out of nowhere after the temp ban earlier for “You have been warned”. (Which, admittedly, was correct. I can only attempt to explain why I did use those items during Killathon again.)
I personally do not believe that the kit that was distributed during the event gave us an adequate chance at fighting what are essentially one hit machines. You have wardens the size of baby zombies against unenchanted netherite. While that kit may be adequate for older mobs, it just does not hold up to things like wardens or 16+Blazes riding on a phantom or invulnerable spawner minecarts respawning stuff constantly. Not to mention that we were only told in the middle of the event about disposal signs (Of which I only knew AFTER I had already been temp banned) and the spot they are at was not safe to stand at.
This is where I come back to the part where I believe that something was omitted/not mentioned:
I also want to mention that I was in VC with Cil at the time and asked MULTIPLE TIMES about using the items to kill the wardens (which I stand my ground on that, those are WAY too strong for unenchanted Netherite) and got ignored, I did not see a single response. After about five minutes of asking and not getting a reply (in which Cil had plenty of time to ask me over /tell me how I even got the items, but I couldn’t reply since /r, /tell and /w all didn’t work during the event). I eventually replied over VC but I’m not sure if they realised I was trying to reply to them.
I have mentioned time and again that in my view this kit needs to be revised and with that I did not mean the simple addition of a Netherite Spear. We have no mobility, no damage, no defence, no enchantments and lacking so many other things.
I got frustrated and used what I happened to have in my inventory (A copy of my god set, A copy of my main sword, a Density 5 Wind Burst 2 mace, a copy of the archivist’s rebuttal and a copy of my 20-heart-shield). (I spawned with those items in my inventory since I had them from other places where they have no actual value).
Before Dorito’s reply and help with the reasoning, These were my guesses:
- I lunged ONCE during the Backrooms (I did not have Fullbright during that but I can’t prove that so oh well), however, as soon as it was mentioned by Broadcast not to lunge, I stopped, when I used wind charges to get out of a hole which I guess but why did I not get banned right then and there?). I should also mention I did genuinely not see Biscuit’s “No Windcharges”, that’s on me. Using Swift Sneak pants (Which yes mine were higher level, but I don’t think about taking my armour off every time I enter a new place). While I know now that I was banned for these,
- When I lunge swapped in the PRE GAME HALLWAY of the parkour (Is lunge swapping with a copy of the archivist’s rebuttal a bannable offense now?) however there I could get no competitive advantage from it since it was a pre-game hallway.
I should also mention others didn’t stop using lunge, or other advantages. This information was gathered from AGamerOfAllTime’s stream (Hometown SMP Anniversary Celebration Extravaganza!), at 01:05:10 for example you can see YourVixen in the HG winner set (which increases Speed), at 01:05:14 they set their speed to 10 for a minute.
Additionally if you heard lunging but didn’t see it, after the No lunging chat msg THAT WAS NOT ME, that was FunnyBuddy(I don’t remember the numbers).
While I was the only one to cheese the Killathon and did deserve the temp ban for that, I was by far not the only person to cheese the maze and while I cannot prove if for example YourVixen used their armour through the entire thing, I would be surprised if they thought about taking off their armour when I didn’t because of my Swift Sneak, however that could just be me.
To address the wind charges, at the time I did not believe them to be such a big deal, especially because I had not seen the messages (which is on me). Now after having watched parts of AGamerOfAllTime’s stream, I was able to confirm you did send those chat messages, however I did not read them, as I was too locked in on finding the way out, so your ban regarding those is justified. However, I really do not understand what you mean by “tools” when the only thing I used (to my memory) was that one lunge swap at the start of the maze.
I would also like to mention that the ending room only triggered for me the fourth time I entered it.
Following is a picture of the HG winner leggings; I have this because Molten sent this to me before he was staff.
If this didn't render correctly, please refer to the attachment instead.
Why do you want to come back:
I would like to have the possibility open. I could say that I hope I deserve a second chance, but like tenth chance would be more accurate.
This server has an amazing community, but it is obvious I am apparently not among them. I enjoy finding creative solutions and that does clash with what the events usually stand for.
However, I would like to see what I won from Half Heart Race (Though I can probably just forget that now) and I don’t like having closed doors remaining.
I have enjoyed the time I spent on the server and would like to continue playing on it. I do know why you do public appeals, but this appeal almost looked drastically differently had Dorito not so kindly supplied me with a concrete reasoning for my ban.
HT has been a part of my life for 2 years now and I have some pretty nice memories around, so I would like to keep those as well.
Creation Crown, Blessed Bulwark, Voidheld Reckoning.
[Player1], [Player2] and me.
It may be a little strange for someone to draw a parallel to items, but I’ll try to explain this the best I can.
Player1 represents everything I like about this server. They’re the fire, the unyielding will to keep going and the help everyone receives, which is what my helmet does for me.
Player2 is the defence. The moderation. The legs this server stands on. The bare bones of what is HT and what makes it such a great place, exactly as my shield protects me.
And then there’s me. I’m the Void. The Unknown. The element, trying to forge a legacy and succeeding and failing alike. I try to make my way along, try to follow rules, but I find it too entertaining to find creative solutions. I completely understand that this is something that prevents me from being part of this community, however, I have offered in the past to use this to test things, to make sure I can’t cheese an event. Like the sword I wield, restraining its true power, yet letting it run wild once in a while.
I wish to return because HT is a place I made friends on. Helped people… and yes, destroyed people’s dreams too. What good is a memory if it is only good. What good is a memory when you can live in it and it doesn't reflect reality at all. My best is apparently not enough, I acknowledge that and I do deserve this ban, I will not deny it.
I also won’t deny that I am human. We make mistakes. It’s how we learn. It’s how we grow, and it’s how we surpass ourselves. I’m not good at the latter three and I will admit that. That does not mean I am incapable. If I am allowed to return, I believe the best way for my mistakes to not repeat themselves is to either not give me the opportunity to participate in untested or cheesable events at all or give me the chance to cheese-proof them myself, even if that results in me not being allowed to participate in them due to knowing what they are.
Regardless of if I am allowed to return or not, I ask you to consider this: Change the Kit for Killathon and MWNL to fully enchanted items, especially protection 4 armour and sweeping edge 3 swords instead of unenchanted, add wind burst maces or lunge spears and wind charges and make /disposal accessible for everyone during the event so inventory management is possible in safe areas. I believe it would improve the quality of the events and people might be able to complete it without lighting the killfeed up every 15 seconds.
I know you do not want to write a wall of text every time we enter an event, but it is honestly the best way to keep me from using anything that I shouldn’t, especially because during events I tend to be too locked in to read chat, especially if it is moving as fast as it was.
I should also mention that I have written this appeal in Microsoft Word and used its correction tool where applicable, and then pasted it into the forums, however I have not used AI in any way (unless you count the correction system for grammar errors and such). If you believe this appeal to be AI-Written anyway, then that is that and I cannot make it right except maybe make spelling mistakes on purpose or something along those lines.
I hope to not have this door barred forever, in the end that is up to you though.

Hello Hometownees! You may be a bit muddled on what /warp Lottoversary is! This is a server hosted lottery event!
Where the server is giving 3,245,000$ back to the players!
There will be 10 winners of 1k, 9 winners of 5k, 8 winners of 10k, 7 winners of 25k, 6 winners of 50k, 5 winners of 75k, 4 winners of 100k, 3 winners of 150k, and 2 winners of 250k!
All these categories only accept ONE type of ticket, the regular Lottoversary Ticket which is shown as a white candle!
One other money category exists:
Including a 1,000,000 single winner jackpot!
The 1,000,000 category accepts both JACKPOT Tickets (Buyable Red Candle), and Regular Lottoversary Tickets! (White Candle)
This has a maximum of 10 jackpot tickets, but an unlimited amount of regular lottoversary tickets!
If the server reaches a total number of tickets sold, the server will unlock an OP item that players can ONLY spend jackpot lottery tickets on! The server must reach the predescribed ticket amount for the item to be showcased and for players to play in the lottery! Do you take the gamble of buying more than 10 tickets to reach the prizes?
Locked Categories are:
325 Tickets
576 Tickets
864 Tickets
1152 Tickets
1440 Tickets
1728 Tickets
These items will be revealed if this many tickets are sold during the 24 hours that /warp Lottoversary is open! Work together to unlock them all!
You may be asking, how do i get tickets? Jackpot tickets can be bought at the kiosk at /warp Lottoversary, however regular lottoversary tickets can ONLY be earned during events! So choose the category wisely!
You will have the chance of putting tickets into the lottoversary for TWENTY-FOUR hours after the very last anniversary event ends, and then lottery prize winners will be announced roughly one hour after the ticketing process ends!
All you have to do to submit your ticket is to put your ticket in the barrels with the designated money amount that you want to enter for!
Clarifying RULES:
1. Using Coreprotect to check the amount other players have put in will result in disqualification from ALL lottoversary categories!
2. The only number of ticket restriction is on the jackpot lottery of 1,000,000 where only 10 jackpot tickets can be used!
3. Have fun at today's anniversary!
4. Feel free to ask clarifying questions!

Oops I did two threads its the same sorry my bad
Oh no sorry this thread I want to delete cause I have mistaking the steps
### **چرا باید از بن خارج شوید:**
چون آن ساخت و سازها تلاش من نبودند و بازیکن دیگری به خاطر کاری که من انجام دادم، آسیب دید.
نمیخواهم دوباره باعث رنج و عذاب کسی شوم.
یاد گرفتم که باید به سخت کوشی دیگر بازیکنان احترام بگذارم.
### **چرا میخوای برگردی:**
راستش را بخواهید انتظار بخشش ندارم. کاری که کردم اشتباه و دور از انسانیت بود، اما هنوز هم میخواهم برگردم.
من خانهای روی آب دارم و فقط میخواهم با دوستان و حیوانات خانگیام در آرامش زندگی کنم.
واقعاً نمیدانم، اما میتوانید تمام آیتمهایم را بردارید تا بتوانم از صفر شروع کنم و سختیهایی را که سایر بازیکنان متحمل شدهاند، تجربه کنم، تا دوباره دزدی نکنم.
Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): You have been banned for x-ray. Banned by Essayjinx. Appeal your ban at http://www.hometownmc.com/banned. It better be really good.
Who banned you: Essayjinx
Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?):
i want to be completely honest with you guys because i know the rules are clear and lying or making excuses will only make it worse. I messed up big time today on my very first day on the server. I downloaded an xray texture pack out of stupid curiosity just to see how it works on a multiplayer server, and i logged in with it active. When i found those diamonds and typed "finally i have 10 diamonds" in the public chat, i was just being really immature and thoughtless. I realize now that Essayjinx was watching me in spectator mode, and i totally deserve the ban for breaking the fair play rules. Im not trying to make excuses at all, i just want to own up to my mistake and apologize for what i did.
I made a huge mistake by using xray on a survival server, it totally messes up the economy and its not fair to other players who actually put in hours to mine and grind for their resources honestly. I should have just played the game normally like everyone else, gone into caves with regular torches, and mined like I was supposed to. Instead i took a shortcut and cheated, which im really ashamed of especially since i ruined my reputation on the server right from the start. Ive already deleted the texture pack from my device completely. Im willing to do whatever it takes to make things right. If you want to wipe my inventory, clear my ender chest, or put me on probation so staff can keep an eye on me all the time, im completely okay with that. I just want a chance to start over, play fair, and be a good member of this community. I know I messed up but im hoping you will give me another chance to prove myself.
Why do you want to come back: im really disappointed in myself for getting banned from HometownMC so quickly. I had been looking for a good active survival smp for a while, and this server seemed perfect because the community was friendly and the server runs so smoothly. But i messed up on my first day and now i really regret it. I want to start fresh, play completely fair, and build a proper base without any cheats or shortcuts. Id love to be a part of the community and enjoy the classic minecraft survival experience with everyone else. If you give me another chance, i promise to follow the rules and you will never see my name in the ban logs again. I def initely lear ned my lesson.
