    I wish for the return of the drops of Sand and Gravel to come back because I do not like that those blocks beacame useless. Im fine with not being able to build Gravel/Sand monsters but that should be no reason for the removal of their corresponding drops. It sucks to do excavation jobs or excavating while mining and not getting any drops from them. If you could at least bring back bones,Music disk and glowstone.
    Thanks Sincerely,
    Vegocoke

    What do you mean? I just said that they should not come back because of the effect that it used to have?

    It just wasn't you. :/ There was so many other people responsible for having these drops removed. I think it'd be nice to have them back, or at least more gunpowder from /kit mobs.

    I had a tower from bedrock to 255, 4 columns, and I was dropping gravel all the way down to fill it. I was probably part of the problem too.

    I think gravel and sand should be worth .05 again, but keep the mcmmo xp and drops disabled. add gunpowder and bones to some other block. We don't want people to have any reason to try gravel monsters again.

    I agree with _Tanstaafl's idea. There is no need to even tempt players with gravel monsters and sand monsters. Yet, I agree that we need gunpowder to be more readily accessible. So, I hope it gets added to dirt or to clay.

    I remember as a builder (on like my first or second day on the server so I was very naive) this mayor was gonna pay me 1k to make a gravel monster but I quit after 5 minutes.
    Back on topic, sand and gravel should have a worth, but no mcMMO exp or drop.

    I was banned for making a gravel monster and then Andrew said he knew nothing about them and thought I was purposelessly causing lag. Then he made no graval monsters a rule hours later I was the only one banned from them BEFORE the rule change.

    And how do you know you were the only player banned using them? Have you ever saw that scene from the movie Return of the Planet of the Apes where the main monkey character talked to another monkey person about how team work can be so efficient(using the sticks as an example)? That can also apply to what you're saying here. Perhaps there were other players who lagged the server as well who could have also been banned seconds after you were...

    I think gravel definitely needs a price again. I do alot of land clearing and gravel stocks up and I end up using disposal signs. The drops for bones and gunpowder should also return as they are damn hard to come buy without /kit mobs and even then they come by slowly.

    I know he was the only one banned because I was there. He was the only one banned before the rule changed. Yes, a few others were banned after the rule change, but I remember it, he was the only one.

    I kept my eye on the ban appeals/complaints section back then, unless someone else was banned and never ever appealed, then he was the only one.

    Haha, that's good to know. In that case, good job Jacob, we can no longer get gunpowder or bones because of you! :p

    But seriously, if no money from sand or gravel, why not add gun powder back and bones in to another block, or add a little bit more of it to one of the kits. One of the reasons I got the pyro donation feature was because of the fireworks. My dreams were crushed!

    I have a 10x10x64 clay monster, so 100 stacks of clay are needed to fill it... pretty sure it exists and I didn't buy a piece of it, I mined it all from the bottom of the ocean.
