Added a new rule regarding large passive mob farms being prohibited: 1. Section 1, Clause 2 'Building Rules' 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") Large passive mob farms or any large collection of passive mobs are strictly forbidden. Small farms (roughly 50 mobs or less) are allowed so long as they do not cause any server lag. Any buildings deemed inappropriate by staff.
Thank you for this type of thread if the rules will be changing often although I look forward to the time this would not be necessary. Just to clarify the multiple accounts rule - are we still allowed to share chests and funds as long as the accounts are actually different users? Although my kids have been pretty inactive lately for various reasons, I want to make sure we can still do things such as when I helped my daughter get her mayor and then she paid me back later.
The bottom line really is whether or not it causes server lag. Mobs spread out over a large space of say 2 towns for the example you are thinking of, is unlikely to cause significant server lag with the current numbers. Eggs. Our intention is that this thread will only be necessary for the near future. As I'm sure you have noticed, there have been a lot of changes recently (and we have more planned!) with the change of ownership and we felt it would be best to make the rule changes which come with them as open/visible as possible. Hopefully very soon we will have a set of rules which won't need changing that regularly As to your question, that is completely fine. So long as the two accounts are different users they can interact in everyway that two accounts not on the same IP could.
Do you mean chickens spawning from eggs? If so that would need to be enabled again, since we had disabled it quite a while ago due to problems with Aether mob farms.
