Server you were banned on (SMP): HomeTownSMP.

Minecraft name: Shibewad.

Reason for your ban: I was banned for using X-ray.

Who banned you: Kat.

Why should you be unbanned: I know I used X-ray and I honestly won't deny it. I genuinely enjoy the server and I shouldn't have taken a shortcut to my progress. My friends and I recently joined the server looking for a good survival world and we found it, and we quickly set up a house and a mine. The next day I got banned for X-raying and my friend got pissed at me for doing it, because he wanted to stay on the server due to the community and overall nice vibe.

It's my fault and I accept full responsibility for my actions, and would like to ask for another chance. I've told my friend about my decisions and he says that if I do get unbanned, he will make sure that I don't use X-ray so we can avoid another situation like this. We don't want to go to another server, so I'd like to ask for an unban. In turn, I'll have my friend (IGN: Hydronair) report me to the mods if I use X-ray again.

I studied other ban appeals to see how I can change my actions, and I found that a mod has an essay against X-raying, and I'd like to give it a shot for a somewhat better chance at consideration for an unban.


- Why is X-raying bad?

- How does X-raying affect other players?

- How does X-raying affect the server's economy?

- How will you take this ban and learn from it?



1. X-raying is bad because of it's ability to take the main point of the game, discovery, and turn it into an endurance test instead of an actual challenge. It's taken a lot of the fun out of the game for me, and I've only done it for an advantage over other players, similar to eating junk food despite knowing it's bad for you in the long run.



2. X-raying affects other players negatively because of the advantage it gives you over other players, making them feel left out and forcing them to use X-ray like an infection. It's always felt unfair when someone X-rays to get more than you.



3. X-raying affects the economy in the same way it affects other players: negatively. After a (near) infinite and impossible amount of time, all mining resources of a world will have been harvested for personal use. X-raying only speeds that up and forces the economy and server to be more one sided, as well as kill it faster.



4. I've been banned for X-raying before on a couple of other servers years ago, and I've regretted it each time. I've recently gotten back into Minecraft, and the same feeling came back when I got banned. Since I don't play on a lot of servers, I genuinely want to ask for another chance to enjoy the server and it's community.


I know this post is pretty long, but a mod named Grimm_Wolfe said on another post that "An xray appeal must be long and well written in order to even be considered" so I'm putting plenty of effort into this appeal. Thank you for your time.


Why do you want to come back: I wish to come back because this is the first survival server that I've thoroughly enjoyed in a long time. This server is extremely simple and sweet, and that's exactly what I love about it. The community is nice and tells me which warps to go to when I need supplies, and the staff are kind to everyone. A guy named RisingSwell even lended me supplies and helped me find a home when I first joined! Seriously, this server is great and I wish I could be a part of it again. Thanks again for reading, and I hope you consider my appeal.

So I have lost interest in minecraft as a whole. I have found a game that I really love and I will be playing that a lot more than PC minecraft. That being said I will be on HT for the winter event and other things but dont exspect to see me on as much. I also want to say that I will be on my PC every so often so feel free to msg me on discord or SC (if you have me).
Love you guys <3 -Donk

Server you were banned on (SMP): HomeTownMc


Minecraft name: SirEddward

Reason for your ban: Resource Pack X-Raying

Who banned you: Grimm_Wolfe

Why should you be unbanned: 
     I understand what I did was wrong, and I would never do it again.
     When I first joined the server it was very unresponsive. No one was talking much so I just went straight to mining(before the X-ray) then I died multiple times and wanted to get a good toolset quickly. I used the X-Ray resource pack to do so.  It worked save for the fact that this server, HomeTownMC, has very attentive staff. 
    I now know how dedicated you are to your server's fairness and I really would love to rejoin you, as a proper player instead of a cheater, as which that you now think of me. I will vote and contribute to the server. If I am allowed to rejoin and gain the trust of the players, I promise you, I would not let you down again. You have a very nice, simple server and I took it for granted. I'm sorry.

Why do you want to come back: I really like how your server is set up. Everyone was pretty nice once they started talking. and I  just would love to be playing with your server's community. 

                                            -Thank you for your consideration in my unbanning, Eddward.

First of all, the link to the subreddit.

The Minecraft suggestions subreddit on reddit is the website to post or upvote suggestions for future versions of Minecraft. Some of the suggestion which have been implemented are:

• the villagers becoming witches when they are struck by lightning ;
  
• asymmetrical player skin ;
  
• rainbow beacon ;
  
• spectator mode ;
  
• etc...
  

• Update to the ocean with new kind of guardians, small ocean, and others things ;
  
• Mushroom stems obtainable
  

So, after the colors in chat were recently re-added, chat has been lighting up with them; this is a problem, as it causes unnecessary spam to other players. I would like to propose an idea: in the best interest of the server, I believe that spamming colors in chat, without the purpose of ads, should be treated the same way as caps and spam. It has recently become an inconvenience to observe in chat.
I've noticed other players on the server have become aggravated with this occurence. The reasons the community themselves have provided through in-game chat are as follows:
-It is becoming increasingly hard to read global chat when people spam colors.
-People with sensory overload issues have a hard time because of it.
-It is unpleasant on the eyes.
-It is becoming a very common occurrence.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of this issue. Be sure to voice your opinion on the matter(whether you are staff or a player) below as well as voting on the poll. 

Server you were banned on (SMP): SMP

Minecraft name: TrialLock428

Reason for your ban: using x-ray

Who banned you: Grimm_Wolfe

Why should you be unbanned: Well, in almost every way I shouldn't. I did use x-ray and I won't argue that. I just really want a 2nd chance. I don't want to make my cousin b_m_b move servers again. We've been to many servers because of servers being shut down, or one of us being banned and the other coming with them to the next server. Sorry, I'm getting off topic. I guess the only reason I should be unbanned is so my cousin doesn't have to leave your server. (wow thats a great reason... no chance...)

Why do you want to come back: It was fun on hometown. I enjoyed my time and I want to play on it with my cousin again. I know the answer is probably no, but please, give me one more chance.

     I know if I am unbanned I will be on probation and have some sort of punishment. The x-rayed materials will be deleted. I'm ok with a temp-ban, I just want to come back. I regret my actions and hope you let me come back. <3

     Sincerely,
          TrialLock428

   

I've been meaning to make a build showcase for awhile now, so now seems about a good a time as any.

A little backstory to the following structures:

I've been constructing this town on and off since the server restarted. I was constructing the same town prior to the restart, but I am much happier with my progress on this version (and happy that the restart occurred before I finished too much of the previous rendition). 

This town is called Lorn and it is a solo passion project. The town is named after a fictional country from an ongoing story project of mine (titled "Guilt"). Many of the structures inside the town are loosely inspired by structures and locations within my story. The castle is especially inspired by Guilt, and is named Bellis after the capitol city of Lorn.
I plan to include additional imagery of Guilt throughout this town-- some of it can already be seen in my banners and the windows of the castle. The image of a single mountain peak with a burst of light above it is very specific to Guilt in that residents of Lorn believe their god Sapiens roosts at Lorn's highest peak.





This is the first structure I made on the server following the reset. It's an inn that I've dubbed "The Black Dragon Inn" (coined for the dragon head on the sign). The entire inn was made before I had the use of /fly and I died from falling off the roof many times (unaided by the fact that one side of the inn overlooks a rocky cliff).




The land around the inn has been largely terraformed, but retains a lot of the original shape of the area. The most obvious changes to the landscape I made were on the right side of the torch-bearing dragon statue. The area to the right of the dragon was originally much flatter, so I raised it up to create more of a bowl shape.



My biggest goal for this town (and the reason that it is a solo project) is that I want everything to blend together in a similar style, including the terrain. This area here will eventually be a sprawling market section of the town. The floating clay outlines indicate plans for future buildings.





Easily the largest (non-terraform) structure I've attempted, this castle will overlook a large swath of the town. It's taken a metric fuckton of stone and wood to construct thusfar, and it's not even close to completion.



The library, the only part of the castle that has been (partially) furnished thusfar. I don't want to start most of the furnishing until the outside of the castle nears completion (the entire castle, like all of my buildings, will be fully furnished), but I needed to include the bookshelves to figure out how to go about the stairs that cut through the library's upper floor.



Many of the cliffs surrounding the castle have been terraformed, leaving a large open area beneath the entire structure.



An aerial view of the castle. When I first laid out the floor plans I thought it was too small... I was incorrect.

Some people I have been doing builds for may be wondering why I have no0ot been online since like last Thursday . Well here is why. I have had a major case off the flu. I have been bed ridden for days , and I still mostly I , I am just feeling slightly better. hopefully I can  be back online by this Friday or Saturday. My doctor says this is a horrible case of the flu one of the worst he has seen this year. I STILL WILL NOT GEWT A VACCINE ( personal beliefs talk to me about it I will give you input)but yeah. please wish my luck and support. sorry to those I have been unable to finish builds for , marry Christmas happy holidays, happy new year.
