    Hey guys. I'm thinking about pilot but I don't really see the point so far and I'm not prepared to lose 20k (?). If I get access to the aether, I want there to be a point to be there other then building cuz I suck at building.. My question is, how do you make money on the aether and what would you do if you were me; would you buy pilot or not? I want to make the best decision.

    The point of the aether isnt to make money. It is to build without having to worry about a boundary without it getting greifed.

    Aether is a place for users to build or for people to view the creations. Pilot is worth it lets just say that!

    I know of a trick that used to work a long time ago, not sure if it still does.

    Find a cactus on a desert island, claim the island, make a cactus farm. Not a lot of profit, but its something :p.

    No, you can't cactus farm. It's illegal.

    Huh. How long has this rule been in place? I'm wondering if the rules changed, or if I stumbled upon a black market a while ago :p

      • Any farms found in the Aether will be world-edited out by EcoCityCraft staff. No notice will be given and in addition a possible fine may be placed on the user
      • Regular crops for decoration are still allowed; however, the size limit is 15x15x1.
    Aha! You can make 15x15x1 cactus farms!

    Clause 2.1 Disallowed Structures
    There are several disallowed structures on this server, which are prohibited even in the wild:
    • Blocks spelling out inappropriate language
    • Signs with defamatory and/or vulgar language.
    • Cactus farms.
    • Player traps in non-PvP worlds.
    • Continuous redstone clocks are not allowed.
      • Temporary, small redstone clocks are fine so long as they are only used for a short period at a time.
    • Farms that operate by means of Redstone Lamps or turning off the lights in order to break crops (aka. "Light farming")
    • Any buildings deemed inappropriate by staff.

    Cacti farms have always been banned from what I remember. Even back in the olden days. I remember a post from @andrewkm announcing or talking about the reason of Cacti Farms being banned. I wish I still had my old harddrive :(
