I've been playing Minecraft now for about 2 years, mainly singleplayer. I am probably one of the oldest people on this server I will be fifty next week and have been playing video games since the late 70's. Minecraft is a very good creative outlet for me i look forward to the return of the server. My name is Elwood I have been using the online name nightcrawler766 since i first got online back in the late 90's. looking forward to working with you all for the betterment of the server community. thank you for your time in reading this.

With a render distance of whatever hometown is (5?), how close do I have to be for my...
1. Nether portals to spawn pigmen?
2. Villages to spawn golems?
3. Ocean monument to spawn guardians?
4. Pistons to be activated with a redstone timer?
5. Sugar cane to grow?
6. Cows to become adults?
7. Wheat to grow?
8. Melons to grow?
9. Cacti to grow?
10. Hoppers to move items?
11. Hopper minecart to move and gather items?
12. Villagers to harvest my crops?
13. Pumpkins to grow?
14. Villagers to become adults?
15. Chickens to lay eggs?
16. Guardians to despawn
17. Zombie spawner to spawn zombies?


I want to know the minimum and maximum distances I can be from each.

I am not quiting the server but I will be on less this is due to something that came up out of no were. I applied for moderator on a server a while back and I ended up getting accepted I dont know when I will get another opportunity like this so I took it I will be online still but not as long as usual maybe 2-4 hours a day most of my time will be spent on said server. Also no i will not be missing the reset grand opening

I'll likely not be present at the time the server is opened 'to public' again, but I find the idea that at some point it will just open and only the few people lucky to be checking the announcements or the server will see that it's joinable as a bit unfair towards most people.

Everyone rushes for the newly generated areas and tries to claim a spot for themselves and I feel like after everything is done with setup for the server, people should be given about a day to be informed about the fact that the server is ready before it is publically opened.

What I'm actually suggesting is that after staff finishes setting it up, they post an announcement with an exact time that the server won't be whitelisted anymore so that no one's caught off guard or benefits from just randomly being on the forums while it happens.

I play  Semi-Vanilla Minecraft all the time, so I think it's time to broaden my horizons. Do y'all have any suggestions for some? Idk I can't find any good ones.

So I have been thinking for a while and I see that there are many things that we as players could do in the new world to make it better for everyone. 
The reason why i am making this "forum game" so to say, is so that we can make a game out of coming up with ideas to make community builds and stuff that everyone can use.

Basically how this is going to work is that when making a suggestion the following list will be followed:

1. What will the build be doing to benefit the server?
2. What is the scale of the build?
3. What is going to be needed to make this build?
4. How is the build going to be made (functionality of everything, red stone, looks, layout, and such)
4. Can this build Handel multiple people?
5. What will people get out of this build?
6. How lagy do you think it is going to be?
7. Is this a practical idea or is it something for a late game purpose?
8. How many people are needed to make this build?
9. Would other people also want this to happen?

After there are a few suggestions of things that should happen we can create a separate thread to discus which builds we should work on and how these builds are going to come about.

Latter I will also post an idea that I have as well.

I'd like to get some recomandations for a new.stationary computer that is good for gaming and watching movies on, any suggestions?

(i currently own a shit hp laptop which sounds like the turbines of a passenger plane when it is active)

Pls help me find some better sulution

Hey guys!!! I just wanted to show you all a build I'm thinking of remaking in the new world. It's not from the old world but a singleplayer creative world that I've worked on on and off for about a year. It's a coliseum thing haha. Let me know what you think! I obviously haven't completed.

Okay so I was reading some ban appeals bc I'm bored and it got me thinking. When the new server comes up, I plan on trying to build a town and the town would have a certain theme that I would like anyone that lives there (if, i suppose) to follow to a certain degree along with basic rules like no noobtowers/wooden boxes. If someone broke those rules, what would I do? The last thing I would want is to be griefing by removing a build or something. I just want to make sure I understand exactly how that situation should be handled before I make my town.

I have heard the news of HT, and the only reason I left was because I had nothing to do. So with the new news that have come out, I am announcing that I will be normally playing HT as I did. So I can't wait for the reset so I can come back to the great community of HomeTown.
