Minecraft Name: teofilovic Suggestion: Have a 1 minute warning before every butcher, or make butcher in sync with lotto drawings Reason: Butcher has not just caused problems for me, but for almost everyone on the server. The worst thing I have personally lost to butcher is an eff5 unb3 axe, but there have been horror stories of people losing eff7s and melon swords to butcher because they were trying to get an erep. It costs players thousands, even millions of EcoDollars with an event that isn't in their control. I'm no server coder, but I don't think this would be hard to implement. One person said that they couldn't tree farm because all of their logs were butchered. If this suggestion were to be implemented, there would be no more problems with anyone losing anything unless they don't listen to anything. Any Other Information: This is not, and I repeat NOT, meant to be a troll suggestion. This suggestion is 100% serious, and I hope you take it seriously. Also, this suggestion is NOT MEANT TO GET RID OF BUTCHER. Butcher is important for reducing server lag. It is meant to warn users that a butcher is coming up. I can see one way around this suggestion though, and that would be to use chests. However, the server gives no warning in any tutorial that butcher exists or to use chests, so builders could definitely lose valuable tools to the butcher and set them back towards progressing through the ranks. I hope you take this suggestion seriously, and that you read all of this. Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: No
while butcher is a thing in the mining world for mobs, "butcher" in the main worlds is a minecraft bug that makes items *poof*. There have been a couple threads about this.
The server auto-butchers every 15 minutes. It isn't a glitch, so something can be done to warn users of an upcoming butcher.
This has been requested many times, and the result has always been the same: 314 answered this in another same request : Actually, there is no butcher in the main worlds - in the main worlds it is simply the vanilla glitch of items despaawning very fast. This has been an issue a while ago when many tools got lost when thrown during repairs. So, nothing that ECC could fix as it is a vanilla bug.
It turns out that butcher is actually a bug and it is not possible to give warnings, so @JamieSinn please lock this thread. I made a mistake.
I also agree that as a community, we should try to get the word out about using chests. I personally tell anyone I do repairs for to have a chest - always.
Ok, this is another thing I mentioned in my original suggestion, and I HIGHLY support of this, so @JamieSinn you might not want to lock this. Consider this instead. Sorry if I'm a bit spammy here with tags.
Rather than tagging the servers developer to lock threads, try tagging a Moderator. Look for Blue names here
As it's been stated there is no butcher in the main world - it is simply a minecraft bug that can be easily avoided by taking proper precautions - I will simply be locking this thread.
