Login at HomeTown

Hey yall! I flew around both overworlds to create map images of everything, so I just wanted to say that if yall wanna download it I have it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...sp=sharing Some of the files, especially the less-zoomed levels, are super huge so be warned!

Each map comes in 5 zoom levels, from 0-4. These are the same as the vanilla map zooms, so going from 1 block = 1 pixel at zoom 0, up to 1 chunk = 1 pixel at zoom 4.

Also, if you want a specific area/build mapped or cropped, let me know and I'll put the image in the requests folder with your ign in the name! Just comment in this thread or ping me on discord :3

If there's interest I might do other dimensions too!

I also mapped it with options that I thought looked the prettiest (mapping the bottom of the ocean for example), but it isn't exactly how vanilla minecraft maps do it, so pixel map art sometimes doesn't look the exact same. I'm lookin into a way to find a way to change it to look vanilla without having to re-map the whole thing If you want to request something in the vanilla look, just let me know! I'll find a way to do it somehow :3

P.S. If you're curious, I'm using Journeymap 5.8.0

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builds, and I found out that our hopper rules (https://hometownmc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=5224) are actually out of date, similar to how we used to recommend furnaces on top of hoppers and now recommend droppers.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.

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