There is a new plugin to impede X-Rayers that has been implemented recently. It is however, my opinon and conclusion that this plugin was not implemented correctly and at it's current state is impeding mining on the server.

Haste II Mining
When breaking stone this plugin generates fake ores when new blocks become uncovered. This requires both client and server to use extra resources to process what is happening, and can result in terrible performance client-side; FPS drops immediately and repetitively. Along with the game slowing from normal performance this plugin also slows the human player because the false-ores are a disturbance to our concentration and decision making.
From what I've mined through, it's nearly unplayable.

If you are blessed to have a good computer, then you'll likely be mining down a tunnel and think you've just uncovered some diamonds, only for them to disappear in an instant leaving you confused and honestly feeling upset and tricked - over and over again.

All of this makes me not want to mine, and I know there are other people who feel similar - that this ruins a vanilla aspect of gameplay. What happens over time if no one wants to mine, will beacons retain their worth, will people endeavour mining at a snail's pace, will vaults of minerals be opened to disperse among the players who require it?
...or will something change?

I urge both players and staff to think hard about the impacts this plugin is having and maybe investigate making configuration changes if at all possible, or in my eyes what is the best solution - letting people mine unobstructed; maintaining a Zero-tolerance xray policy...maybe increasing the punishments for Xraying...?

Hey,
I just bought VIP1 for Christmas and I just wanted to know if I could instead show my Voting rank, which would be advanced. My in game name is ItsMeDJR.
Thanks!

Hello, I was recently banned on the Hometown SMP server, my name is Dr_Fresh3, I was banned for the use of the ‘N’ word twice in succession by Uber.
I didn’t intend to use it in a malicious way but I understand as the ‘N’ word as a word by itself is a very offensive word.


The ban was unjustly as I was warned and I didn’t repeat the same offence afterwards yet I was still banned, my friend tried to explain this to an admin on the discord server but they just said to him to tell me to go the forums to appeal the ban and just blatantly ignored him.


All I want to do is play with my friends without someone banning me, I understand what I did was wrong, I was warned and I didn’t commit any further offences yet I was still banned.


Sincerely, Dr_Fresh3
Now a message from my sponsor, if you want feel fresh the best way? Brighten up your day (and your teeth) with max fresh Colgate toothpaste.

I was at X-4,020, Y60,Z4,853 I barley made it out of there alive because of the guardian temple grinder. Please fix this or at least make it so no one can do /wild over there. I would not like anyone else to drowned because of this lag and how it makes it difficult to surface for air so please do something about it.

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft name: slamminsammyj

Reason for your ban: Xray

Who banned you: Uber

Why should you be unbanned: I made a mistake. What I did was I downloaded an Xray texture pack and started mining the diamonds and other valuable resources from underneath my wall and in random locations in the wild. I did this because I was attempting to set up a market place at /warp blackmarket but could not afford any of the items I wished to sell. I was mining using a pickaxe with fortune 3 and mending to gain even more materials then what I was buying at first. This is wrong as it means I was cheating people out of their money when I was selling diamonds to them, as well as being able to buy items I shouldn't be able to afford. I knew what I was doing was wrong as I was doing it, and I feel awful about what I did. I do not want to be banned and have to leave my friends to work on the wall without me, but if I cannot be unbanned, then I accept my ban and I got what I deserved. Should I be unbanned, I promise to never violate the rules of the server ever again.

Why do you want to come back: I wish to come back because I want to continue working on my wall and city with my friends. I also just bought VIP 3 and would be very displeased to lose it. I have been working hard to increase the size of my city so that other players may come and enjoy the server from within the wall. I want to be able to remain an active part of the server community, despite what I have done wrong.

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft name: dahrabidrabbit

Reason for your ban: Theft

Who banned you: Guy

Why should you be unbanned: I am not sure of why I was banned. I was banned early when I first got on the server because I did not fully read the rules and broke blocks near someone's property. However, after I was unbanned, and I re-read and remembered the rules just to be extra careful. I am not sure if I accidentally broke something, I have been using many locations such a village warps and farm warps but I always replant and do my best to not impact others. Whatever I did, I apologize for, I have not intentionally gone out to grief or steal. I assume it was a mistake and hope the matter can be better explained so I can more effectively appeal. Since the ban was for theft I hope I can apologize and make right the mistake I made. I also spend most of the time on Hometown by my property. I do my best to not go out by others because it's easy to break things within 100 blocks of their build. I already have been doing my best to obey and I hope that is understood.

Why do you want to come back: I really enjoy this server and have just started becoming friends with others on the server. It is also the only server my other friends play with me on. I also vote for the server consistently and sell things as well as making a store to partake in the economy. I also want to come back since there are not many servers like this, where the members are all friendly and have so many things to do.

I appreciate the time to read and consider, once again; I apologize for my mistakes. Thank you, D.

I just want to say thank you to who ever was my secret Santa. I enjoy my gift very much and plan to put it on display in my mc house.

Another Christmas, another chance to spread my joy. Or so says the script. Today i will be giving you people the greatest gift that i can give, which is another copy of a HomeTown christmas bloody miracle. Basically its just a circlejerk of all of my stories ive made across the year melted into this one giant clusterfuck which doesn't have anything to do with christmas or Hometown in general. With that in mind, enjoy. I'll be leaving last years copy as a draft here, aswell. 







Merry christmas ya'll.

Minecraft name: RHeydrich

Reason for your ban: spam/racial slurs/offensive comments

Who banned you: i have no idea

Why should you be unbanned: i promise i will never say anything bad/spam again someone told me it would be funny

Why do you want to come back: my best friends on on the server and i would be really sad if i can never see them again

minecraft name: 

_Shirogane_

reason for my ban: 

theft

who banned me: 

Guy

why I should be unbanned: 

Honestly, I don't know why I was banned, especially for theft because I'm not quite sure what I stole. I was unaware that I was stealing something but if I could be told as to what I did steal then I would gladly appreciate and return it. I sincerely apologize for whatever I stole and I promise I won't let this happen again. 

why I want to come back:

Reasons as to why I would like to come back is because 
1) I made a lot of progress in my town that I was making and I'd hate to never be able to work on it.
2) I made a good amount of new friends there and I would like to play on that server with them again. 
3) I was planning on having some other friends of mine join me and help with my town eventually. 
4) I genuinely like the server for what it is.

Thank you for reading this and I would appreciate it if I could be unbanned and able to play on the server again
