    Because we are working towards having our aether be one big awesome area, we are now instating a rule where farms will no longer be allowed to be built in the aether. People have 1 week to clear their farms out of the aether, and after that we will be going around world editing out farms that we see.

    Updated Rule:
    Located under server rules wikipedia section.

    I know I don't have aether, i'll probably get it soon, but are we allowed to plant a couple crops just for decoration to make the house/building/mansion look cool?

    No, this could result in a ban for greifing by mistake; just let a staff member / andy know, and we/he'll handle it.

    I was wondering if you could make cactus placeable in the aether. The reason i say this as you are not allowed to farm it but it would look neat if i try to make a desert-theme house.

    noted
    but i would just like to tell you in advance that ALOT of people wont be happy about the no farms thing because people have payed 20k to be able to go to aether and build what they want on as big a land plot as they want without fear of it getting grieved as it would in a wild ... im not complaining (even though im not happy) but i suggest you think of a comeback to that reason asap before others say the same thing
    also does this count for animal farms to because they de-spawn anyways

    thanks

    . Yes! Yes! Yes! That would:
    1. Make cactus useful
    2. Be an Aether perk
    3. Allow desert-themed builds

    You have to admit, by Aether spawn, all there were was farm here, farm there, farm everywhere! If you want a big huge farm, that is what main world is for. Aether is for epic houses, amazing pixel art, and any other epic builds. I think it will be a major improvement to the Aether, and make it look like a building place, not farm central. :p

    Also, I think mob farming should still be allowed, I think what they mean is like farming wheat, melons, etc. for money.

    I have an 8 level farm in the aether and still intend to turn it into a nice looking tower. whould turning the farmland into a grass floor and removing the light switch be enough to keep it from being removed for now?

    I also have a 2 level tree farm with a nice arched roof and walls. could i still keep trees on one level and use the other level for something else?

    ^ We paid 20k to get some good farming land. It used to be a popular building site, but people have built massive farms there since, because there was open space. Now you've decided to FORCE people to NOT do the one thing in a place we PAID for access to to do that one thing??

    I don't even know what to think.

    I think mining is allowed, however, the islands are often very small and it would not be worth it. I mean some islands can be large in area, but they are not dense and frequently are hollow.

    You paid to get Aether access. Nowhere do I see that you are not allowed to access the aether anymore.

    Perhaps a few ruined it for all. I have a farm in the aether but it is like 20 blocks by 20 blocks by 5 blocks tall; not massive in any form of the word/meaning.

    Oh wait, I get it, nevermind. Perhaps this change is coming about because you can't have mobs in the main world and therefore people are using the Aether for farming and nothing else. I'm guess that construction of buildings and other useless things has probably come to a standstill.

    It was pointed out to me that this thread doesn't really specify anything. Does this change only affect plant farms and not animal farms, or both. To me, farming is blanket term covering both aspects.

    Most of us in the last 4 months paid 20k for Aether to farm, and now it's being taken away..

    While I don't have aether access I do intend on getting it at some point. I have looked on the live map of the aether and it does look stupid with farms.
