Personal Prelude |Hello, I am a player who has participated in many survival servers since 2013, and I am willing to suggest features and ideas to developing servers. These suggestions can - obviously - be taken into consideration by the moderators, and adjust these features to fit the theme of the community.
Server Review |I first joined this server 4 days ago (16.3.2021), and I want to say that I fell in love with the community and the environment within the server, furthermore inspiring me to spend effort and design my new project in survival. |There are some aspects and factors that make this server unique. 1; the community is truly friendly and has continued to support the server for long durations. 2; the server isn't plugin-heavy in survival, i.e. there is no McMMo, custom enchants, OP crates. Plus, the economy/marketing in this server is something that I haven't come across before;
You can't sell crops,
which stops players from breaking the economy from cactus farms, etc.
/warp shop is limited,
which allows players in the community to create their own marketing system and allow for more player interaction. (*and I LOVE that)
Suggestion |I wanted to introduce my review to the server above^ because I want to make sure that I make a suggestion that fits the theme of the server, and that my suggestion doesn't involve breaking the system of the server. |The suggestion that I considered introducing would be the addition of /shop HUDs to the server. I have realized that this server contains players going through the system of typing /warp shoplist, and looking at all the random usernames - WITH NO DESCRIPTION - and then warping to players that may sell items that you are looking for. Sometimes, you may warp to players that don't sell the items you want, or someone else is selling them cheaper. |Do you see the minor flaw? It's not a huge deal, because players of the community have been used to this system of navigation - I get that. However, this feature can be improved to help new players in the community, and allow navigators to easily warp to markets with 100% satisfaction and accuracy. |Here's my concept in visuals, though moderators/developers can adjust this to however they like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmPVoaVe4CE |This is a video that I have quickly put together. |The only thing I am curious about is if there is a plugin that makes this implementation possible.
|Analyzing the content in the video, you will be able to navigate the /shop HUD and warp to shops that sell specific items, with the help of the player's warp description, and where they choose to place their warps in the /shop HUD. ||This will also remove the unnecessary need to "remember" people's warps, and/or remove the need to ask the chat about who sells what. aNd it will also simplify the need to use /warp shoplist.
|Thank you for reading, and thanks to everyone who contributes to the quality of the server! Q&A |This is a Q&A. Reply with questions if you are concerned about something.
Are you talking about /warp warplist? |Yes, but with more specificity, and allows for a more accurate overview of all the existing warps that have been made. |Consider this: You are looking to sell and/or buy items. It could be armor, building blocks, etc, anything. There may be shops that you can recognize, such as /warp illo or /warp reapsshop, because that is what players often tell you when you ask about who sells/buys what, limiting you to all the other existing warps that exist. /warp warplist may show some warps that you don't recognize, but they might not include all of the warps that have been made in this server. |With the addition of the new /shop HUD, we can allow players to access all the existing warps that the community has made, allowing for more social interactions.
Minecraft name: Diego5137 (Used to be DiegoG5137 last time I played.)
Reason for your ban: Arguing with staff / not cooperating with staff.
Who banned you: Multiple Staff (I remember IllogicalSong was there.)
Why should you be unbanned: I've had a full year to think about what I did, and I've come to accept the fact that I was in the wrong. I broke the rules without knowing and I should have just complied with staff and gotten on with it. I apologize for what I did, and I ask for forgiveness.
Why do you want to come back: I haven't found another server like Hometown and its community, and one of my friends recently got Minecraft and we wanted to play on an SMP. I remembered that this server existed and found the Discord link on the forums. I joined it and asked if they could warp to my old town's warp, which of course was still there.
I've been really thankful to all of you for supporting my shops a lot.
I would like you to be informed that warp Cheapshop and warp ReemArt will be soon closed temporarily as we're moving out to a new building.
This process approximately may take a couple of weeks or less, depends how fast I get things done.
I will post the closure date soon in forums and chat when the work begins.
Until further notice, the shop is operating as usual.
I used to play on hometown with a few friends a couple years ago. Since then, it seems the server has been reset. I know the server had reset once before when I was playing on HT, and the world file was still saved and people could play on it as an adventure map. Is this the case for this past world file that was reset? Is there any chance someone could run the server for a bit? I was just hit with a wave of nostalgia the other day and I really wanted to see some of my old builds, as they were probably some of the best I've ever done. No worries if this can't be done, I just wanted to see if it was possible. Please let me know
I would like to suggest something but i'm unsure if we already have these or not. If there is, please let me know it would be useful.
Well, I was building a small interior aquarium and wanted to put a baby turtle in, but i realized it will eventually grow into an adult, which would not be spacious enough in an aquarium i built.
Was wonder if VIP could have the ability to keep their beloved pets small/baby. Just like how we could avoid leaf decay or grass growth.
I also like baby Llama and wolf, but yeah, they grow tho.
However, i am usure if turtle eggs will hatch..i have not tried.. But still, this ability will be helpful for us to keep other pets remaining as baby.
Well, if its a dumb suggestion or idea, forgive me.
hello. you have probably seen me around on hometown over the past ~2 years, being a public nuisance and such. you can find the things i've been doing with a few other people at /warp fortuna and /warp dragoncity. we like visitors, feel free to stop by and explore :) i play in bursts, so if there's a period where i haven't been on in about a month, i'm probably still gonna come back.
(ps: if you read this, try to find molten's island and leave a melon there for me)
First of all, I am so sorry for breaking the worst rule of all, I am also very sorry for not being smart enough to foresee the consequence, of using a texture pack that makes it easier to find all the goodies. (basically x-ray). As you said "this better be good". X-ray does not only make it unfair for others, but it has also been a big "no go" for a lot of years of Minecraft history.
Not only does x-raying make everything unfair, but it also affects the server and the players. The game should remain fair, and x-raying is the opposite of that. I apologies for being so blind not to see how stupid I was. I admit to using X-ray in the /warp res world, I also used it for a very little time in nether. I had actually deleted the texture pack right after I went afk yesterday, since I had decided to play the game as it is supposed to be played, but then I was maybe still gonna use it sometime later, so I think this was an eyeopener for me to never use it again.
X-ray is a bad thing, and mark my words. I will NEVER touch it again, since it will only cause me trouble. I know you have no reason to unban me, but i really think I can prove to you that I am not who you may think I am.
I feel like I deserve a second chance, since I have played on the server for more than 3 years, and as you may know, I recently came back to the server and started a big project. And I was stupid not to see that sometimes the easy way, is not the right way, but since I have learned so many new people to know, and established a good place in the server, I feel like you should give me another chance, I want to prove to you that I can do the right thing.
I had also planned on spending a lot of hours on the server, and I am also considering to buy vip2, in order to get the fly command, but enough of that. Basically I would love to spend a lot more time on your truly amazing server, and a lot more time with the totally awesome community that you have fabricated.
Why do you want to come back:
As I said, I have a big project going on, and I have met a bunch of nice people, including staff. I also will never use x-ray again, since it's a filthy thing that will only result in a ban. There is no need to lie about that.
I would also love to become a member of the staff one day, but it's gonna take a lot of work if I get unbanned of course. So please consider giving me a second chance, and I can prove to you that I can behave.
If you choose to unban me, which would be a true miracle. Then I will assure you that no matter how poor I get, I will never use x-ray, and I will go mine legit. You can even monitor me all you want, I wont go near x-raying again.
And I will never use an X-ray texture pack again! You have my word.
Today is March 13th. It is the lockdown anniversary but it is also my 5 years on hometown! I've made so many memories on here and so many friends. Its been a wonderful 5 years and I can't wait for more! Thank you to all my friends I made on here, you know who you are. Never would I have imagined I would make such good memories and amazing friendships on a minecraft server of all places. Over these 5 years I made friendships that I hope will last forever.
