Reason for your ban: x-ray

Who banned you: Grimm_wolfie

Why should you be unbanned: I know that what I did was wrong and regret the decisions I made.
And I'm truly sorry for what I did and that it won't happen again.
I understand now that what I did was wrong and could have caused issues with the  community. I'm disappointed with myself about trying to get something with cheats faster, resolving that I might have ruined the economy of the server

Why do you want to come back: I really like the community and the server,  and I've made some friends and spent several hours building, anyways im really sorry what I  did, and I promise nerver to touch any cheats again.

Sorry for not being completely honest on the first appeal.
I Hope you can forgive me.

Reason for your ban: Mass Grief

Who banned you: illogicalSong

Why should you be unbanned: i think i should be unbanned because i had no idea that was a players house if it was a players house at all. i just thought it was a random pillager house. it wasn't claimed or anything. yes there was a few things that looked like a player placed them but as i said before it wasn't claimed so there was no indication that a player owned it.  

Why do you want to come back: i want to come back because its the best server that ive every played on amazing community members very friendly people and awesome staff. ive made so many friends and i dont want to lose that over something i did accident or not. i wouldn't want to play anywhere else. so please i ask for you to forgive me. from the bottom of my heart i am sorry. id like to apologize to the staff and to the player. i really hope you consider unbanning me!. if you unban me i promise it will never happen again EVER!!. ive talked so highly of this server at work with friends and was devastated to see i was banned from the server after 4 years!!

i should be unbanned because I did not steal anything. The two places that I went to were, warp Beltrees which is a community tree farm which allows you to farm wood for free and take all the drops from it. I also went to warp hellsgate which is a community xp farm that allows you to take the nuggets and the rotten flesh

Hello all!! Today we're gonna talk about hoppers! 
Yeah that's right, those things that take a chest and iron to make, that pick things up and move things, super helpful!

Unfortunately, they're also, really laggy. For a run-down on lag and what causes server lag and why, please visit my other post over here cause, I've explained that in depth already, but it basically has to do with hoppers constantly checking for items and server getting overloaded.

So in the past- we've had a limit of 40 hoppers per chunk. This rule has gone without enforcement for a long time, due to there not really being a need to be so strict on hopper usage. However, with 1.15 being a super heavy load on servers, coupled with the increase in players, we are going to have to start enforcing a hopper limit again.


The current hopper limit is now- 400 hoppers per Loaded Area


"Well that's all fine and good but what is a loaded area?? What does that even mean????"

So, a loaded area is, well, the area the server loads around you. The area it figures out where mobs can spawn, what redstone is going off, etc. On our server, this is a 5 chunk radius with your player in the center.
What is a chunk?
Well I'm glad you asked cause I didn't spend all this time prepping this post for nothing. A chunk is 16 blocks by 16 blocks, you can see chunk borders by pressing f3 + g or if you're on a laptop it'll likely be fn + f3 + g




So that's what a chunk looks like


And this is what a loaded area looks like:



So as you can see, the server loads a pretty large area, it's calculating a lot. It may feel like a farm on the outer edges is far enough away to not matter, but the server is still running through all those calculations.

Now, lets look at what 400 hoppers looks like, cause that's a pretty abstract number



Now if you're looking at this going 'What! That's not nearly enough!!' You might need to take a look at how your redstone is being organized. Lets take a look at a few things

How about a super smelter?



This super smelter took 48 hoppers. 16 furnaces is far more than enough for pretty much anything you would need. If you were to make a smelter bigger than this, you would start to eat into your hoppers pretty quickly. So it's down to, is it worth it to me to have an extra 16 furnaces I likely won't use 90% of the time and using another 48 of my hoppers? Or do I wanna use those on another project? It's your decision.

Now, how about a small autosorter?



This sorter for mining items only took 33 hoppers, with 2 chests per item. But you see how quickly it can eat up your hopper supply



Now this has 99 hoppers - and most of these chests will be left empty for a very long time. What might be a better solution is to use the sorter and move the items elsewhere when the chests fill. The items are already sorted, so the machine has done it's purpose. Again, up to you, but this is another way you can conserve hoppers to use on other projects.

Let's look at a final example, a large farm. 



In the initial picture, you can see a hopper line is used to move and catch the items. Which is understandable, after all, that is what hoppers are for, is it not? However, not only is this laggy for the server, it costs a lot more resources, and is actually a far slower means of transport

Water moves items far faster than hoppers can, especially during peak hours. So we ask that you please use water to transport items instead of items wherever possible. If you need help knowing how to do this, check out /warp autofarmtutorial for a visual tutorial, or ask for help 


So
Takeaways from this

- We are now enforcing a 400 hopper limit per 11x11 chunk area


- You can still fit multiple farms with hopper usage in said area if you are using hoppers wisely

- It is easy to waste hoppers, and there are many more resource friendly options

Thanks for reading!

Hello people of the Hometown server,
I am announcing my return to the server starting tomorrow. Due to some unforeseen circumstances involving my old Minecraft account, I am no longer SoldierofEvil now I’m SoldierofEvil16. I look forward to playing on the first friendly server I ever played.

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

Minecraft name: Goodgamerguy

Reason for your ban: Griefing, item theft

Who banned you: DoxNotch

Why should you be unbanned: I believe that the admin might have accidentally banned the wrong guy because my base in-game is literally thousands of blocks from any civilizations, so it isn't even possible for me to grief anybody if I wanted to. Even so, I did not grief anybody. If I can, I would like to see the evidence of griefing if possible.

Why do you want to come back: Because this is a false accusation and I was banned for no reason.
