Surprise Easter event in 35 minutes from this thread going up! (Quarter of the nearest hour)

Only a little easter egg hunt, nothing huge if you miss it.

Greetings Hometown MC Community, 
Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): 

Minecraft name: xInquisitive

Reason for your ban: Disrepect

Who banned you: Saiyaka

Why should you be unbanned: Well, you see, I disrespected some players by calling them bad at Pvp when i was having a fun time PvPing. I am sorry it was very arrogant of me to do so. I decide i want to mature and refrain from using such toxic language. I will respect all players if unbanned i promise. I love this server. 

Why do you want to come back: I love this server and building, and making money. I love voting and ranking up. I love the community. I love the uniqueness HT MC offers. Its such a marvelous server i would love to be apart of again. Im so sorry. <3
Your Best,
xInquisitive 

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

Minecraft name: UnRankedMatches

Reason for your ban: Disrespect

Who banned you: Saiyaka

Why should you be unbanned: I should be unbanned because I really don't think I should have been banned in the first place. I got banned for disrespect because I said weird things to staff members and other people just as a joke, and was only trying to get a good reaction out of it. I didn't want to come out as being disrespectful for saying "I love you" to the admins and other messages. I don't think I should be permanently banned for doing those actions, but if I get unbanned I won't continue saying those things in the chat and will stop being disrespectful to any admin or regular player.

Why do you want to come back: I want to come back on Hometown SMP because the server is so fun to play and so unique from other smp servers with things ranging from pvp arenas to massive mansions and shops. I like exploring with the other people on Hometown and getting more money to buy myself nice items to enhance my experience. Building and talking to the other people is so fun for me, and I have really enjoyed my time already on this server. Hopefully you can accept my appeal so I can come back on and continue where I left off.

I want to know...

Uuuuh, so I just downloaded the new launcher and it wont load. I click it in my taskbar and it highlights but it then fades away?

So any fixes?

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

Minecraft name: Komodoku (Used to be joe_komodo)

Reason for your ban: Using X-ray

Who banned you: Grimm_Wolfe (About 2 years ago)

Why should you be unbanned: I fully admit to using X-ray and regret doing so, as this server was pretty much the only one I really played and enjoyed, I basically stopped playing Minecraft shortly after I was banned. I fully understand that not many X-ray appeals get accepted but now that a few years have passed and I want to get back into Minecraft I'm hoping I can start anew on my favourite server. I will gladly have all of my items, buildings, VIP and trusted rank(Or whatever rank it is now) wiped and set back to the beginning, I am truly sorry and I promise to never use X-ray again.

Why do you want to come back: I miss the friendly community Hometown offered when I used to play, after getting banned I searched for a replacement but couldn't find a server quite like Hometown, afterall most of my old time on Hometown was chatting to people rather than actually playing! I want to see if any of the old players are still around and see the new changes that have been made to the server and the community, I also want to once more take part in the discussions and games that are on the forums without feeling guilty! It will be really nostalgic if I get unbanned and hope you consider my appeal!

KittyWilson and I, xXDanGamerXx are witnesses of Divergent_ claiming about making 30K in a day through mining and selling diamonds, That would require 10 full stacks of diamonds, To me, that seems unnatural and possibly hacked.
Even with Fortune 3, That would require finding at least over 3 stacks of diamond ores,  which seems quite fishy and not very legit.

KittyWilson and I asked if we could come mining with him to see if he found so many diamonds when we were with him, and he refused. That made us both slightly more suspicious of him using X-Ray. Then we asked him what his tactics were ad what his strategies to finding diamonds was, again he refused. His answer was "Not many people know this method, so you can't see". Of course, this made me wonder if his strategy was x-rating. He seemed to find it normal to have found 10 stacks of diamonds in 1 day. When we kept on trying to ask him what his method of mining was he would come up with a reply like "dude I don't use x-ray". Him not telling us how he finds so many diamonds, claiming to find 10 stacks of diamonds AND refusing to let us go mining with him made us really suspicious. He also said if we went mining with him it would "expose his way of mining", that in its self sounds kind of sketchy. 

He might just be the world's luckiest miner, but him being the second richest on the server, claiming to of made 30K in a day, claiming to of mined  10 stacks of diamonds, him not telling us how he mined and him not letting us in his mine together just makes him look as if he was using some sort of x-ray client. He says that several admins have been in his mine and said that he is legit but we could not tell if he was lying.

I have screenshotted most of the conversation we had as evidence if need be, it would be good if some admins could look into it to see if he was telling the truth or lying. Thankyou for reading this

Hello all, I've created one of the densest tree farms on HT. No more chopping tree by tree, it's row by row!
Totally there are 320 oak, 320 birch, 240 acacia, 24 dark oak, 21 giant spruce, and 18 giant jungle trees. 

I recommend chopping down an entire giant tree or an entire row (40) of small trees. There should always be enough saplings (per my tests). The floor is in sharp colors to aid finding saplings. 

There is a beacon, kindly donated by Moo! Thank you Moo. 
Sandstone Kindly provided by Rowe.

NO More Treetastic or Gotwood... They're old news! Come to Jellytree. Designed to fit your needs and efficienct. 
Go wild and Chop on!

Yes, I guess I'm the only one caring about this issue, but the server always has some mob cap/spawn rate problems.

What I imagine is that the spawn rate gets divided between each player, so mobs spawn 1/x as often if there are x players online. 

Furthermore, the mob cap is a problem too. Suppose A and B are online, and those two together has a mob cap of 100. If B is afk, then whenever A kills off mobs, some portion will spawn in B's area, and stay loaded forever or until they despawn, which takes a long time. The result is incredibly low spawn rate for A, having to wait for mobs to despawn from around afking players which reduces mob count below the cap. To support my claim, I observed that my witch farm spawns 4 witches soon after sunrise, when skeletons, zombies are burned to death and the mob cap is temporarily not reached. Then afterwards, no spawns occurred until the next sunrise. 

Another case: guardian farms gets 0 spawns at off peak times (late at night for most people) when people are obviously sleep-afking. To support my case - that the afking players are to blame, the 0-spawn guardian farms (which is every guardian farm) come back to life immediately after a server restart (which kicked all the afkers). 

Also, as side note, I strongly believe lower render distances has lower mob caps. 

I've been trying to farm naturally spawned hostile mobs without much success. Some bad days I get 0 spawns. Is there a way to set up a system that multiplies the mob cap or spawn rate by cx (c=<1) for x players online?

xXDanGamerXx found an island that looked like a chicken, so we gave it a beak and feet!

   

we've decided as a group to give this island to ThatChicken1 as a gift! So chicky, we hope you like it and chicken on!
