Login at HomeTown

So I've been doing a lot of research on how to decrease the server load for redstone builds, and I found out that our hopper rules (https://hometownmc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=5224) are actually out of date, similar to how we used to recommend furnaces on top of hoppers and now recommend droppers.

Since 1.14, composters are actually the best block to place on top of hoppers to reduce lag, as they perform the same function as droppers/furnaces but don't require the extensive inventory checks of droppers, and additionally aren't block entities themselves, further reducing the amount of lag they cause.

Here's a video explaining and testing various blocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC3ZOOI1Rf0 (no new blocks have added hopper functionality since 1.14 so this video is still up-to-date)

TL;DR: Composters on hoppers provide 30% less lag than droppers on hoppers, so they should be the new default block on top of hoppers for HomeTown.

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


Minecraft name: DeesAuxCord

Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): X-ray banned by TheDutyPaid
Who banned you: TheDutyPaid

Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): To simplify it, I understand my mistake and understand that I am being punished. But this server is a server i finally felt safe. I understand i have made a mistake, and i promise to better myself and make sure I never make the mistake I did again. I will delete the pack and will be fine with admins resetting my progress. 

Why do you want to come back: As I said before. I love this server. it was a safe space for me. and I love the player base, the admin team, the builds. everything. I understand I have made a mistake and will better myself and make sure it doesn't happen again.  I am fine with admins resetting my progress. I am fine with them taking away all of my things. But I would be fine with anything they do as long as I can come back. thank you, and have a good day/night/morning/eve <3

It is once again that time of year. When chocolate and bunnies rule the earth and humans cower in fear of their waistlines. Yes; it is once again time for you to prove your build abilities at the One Chunk arena. So grab your gear and your blocks and head over to /Warp OneChunk and pick a spot and build your best spring build. As usual you may team up with others and may ONLY build within the chunk (use  F3+G to see the chunk borders :wink You only have until midnight EST April 16 to finish your One Chunk build so get started today!

6 years ago today I joined a server called hometown. Little did I know I would still be here 6 years later. I don't know how I could be so attached to a minecraft server but here I am. Along the way I have made so many friends and for all of you I am so grateful. Last year was definitely my roughest year but things have gotten better and im glad (: This is also my first "birthday" as being elite which is cool too   I hope to make more memories here with you all, thank you 

Heya! I used to be TheCrookedDoctor, I used to be a pretty toxic kid, but I have grown up a lot. I used to play around 2017~2018, I am so glad to be back on the server that taught me a lot <33

Hey everyone,

I'm glad after many years, I'm returning to HomeTown! I've missed this server a great deal and look forward to playing with you all!

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): smp.hometownmc.com (smp)

Minecraft name: cheezywheezy0

Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): X-ray banned

Who banned you: TheDutyPaid

Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): 
I believe that I was falsely banned. I have never downloaded anything that had X-ray. The closest I've ever gotten was a couple of weeks ago. I was playing on the server and had badlion client on, and things were loading slowly. It was basically like X-ray, but I couldn't see diamonds and ores and such. I quickly switched to vanilla Minecraft due to this. Other than that scenario, I can't think of why I may have been banned. If you may have noticed suspicious mining patterns, that is only because I like to mine in random directions, thinking of how shocking it would be if there were actually diamonds there. Also, when mining I attempt to cover as much space as possible without mining tons and tons of blocks, so I mine in no pattern but branch off and go somewhere else if I'm not having any luck. (P.S. sorry if some of this doesn't make sense. It's a little hard to explain.)
Why do you want to come back:
 Hometown has become sort of a comfort place to me. All the members are so friendly. The cozy feeling this server provides is like no other. Logging on and seeing the ban message shocked me, to say the least. 
To whoever may read this, I wish you a lovely day.

Just a random idea, but maybe offer a service on the forums, similar to the noob house removal, abandoned warp reclaim, et cetera, that allows players to try to get a service where they can remove specific enchants from specific items, the cost could vary as to what the enchant and item is that the player wants removed; specifically for example, I would want to remove enchants from sharp v knockback 10 sticks, and similar items, just an idea at least
