    Edit: They still end up colliding. Their pathfinding is frustratingly bad

    So I am in the process of editing my photos I took on vacation to Costa Rica over the holidays. It is a mix of photos of family members, wildlife, and landscapes so each photo I edit is always something different.

    I also was given picture frames and money to print out some of my photos to hang above my desk as a gift. Initially got black frames, to match the black accents on my desk. However, the black rectangles of the frames and my black monitor bezels right below it mean I should consider doing a different style of picture frames so that it is not overwhelming amount of black rectangles on one wall. I am excited to get some of my photos printed out for the first time, I just need to decide which three pictures I will choose

    Overall really nice farm, thanks for building it. I will start helping out on the spawn proofing sections soon. One issue I noticed is that over time at the top of the drop chute where there are the two pistons with the observer clock, piglins start to accumalate on the right side and do not get pushed down. This leads to the farm having its output stall within 5min for me. screenshot

    Seems weird that the server has still maintained some instability. I assumed that most of the issues we were experiencing at first were due to high traffic since last season was quite stable.

    @evie and @ethnolicbob both of you have mentioned interest in helping build a gold farm. I have not started anything towards a gold farm, but am hoping to start on one soon so I thought I would start a thread here to help with planning.

    Do you have a location in mind?

    Do you have a farm design you want to build?

    Do you have a specific feature or design requirement to be implemented?

    Worth mentioning that while gnembon is known for creating really good farms and explaining the logic behind them, they haven't been making many videos recently due to being hired by Mojang. Still a fantastic resource to look at though, since gnembon is both a fantastic farm designer and explains various mechanics to help design farms

    It is a valid question to ask. I feel like to an extent my answer was not the most clear, but I think that is a reflection of the various stances of players on the server. I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is your intent behind the mods and how they impact other players. And understand that other players have different levels of what they deem acceptable. For the most part, I tend to lean more towards the vanilla purist side, whereas others I know run various mods. And there just needs to be acceptance of the varying approaches. Another thing to note is we do run terralith mod serverside so it is not a purely vanilla world, and there is a bit more acceptance towards clientside mod.

    I do agree with your idea of maps, and personally I do not run them. However, I know some players do a lot of exploration to fill their maps, which gives them a feel for the world. For litematica, my personal approach is to rarely use it, but will probably use it more this season for some technical builds. I personally like figuring out builds on the server, but that does take more time and requires builds to be torn down frequently (last season I moved sections of my base over by one block a few times due to lack of planning).

    So I feel like there are some interesting points worth pulling out of the article (instead of the now deleted reddit post)

    I wish I could tell you that I immediately clocked the document as a fake. The truth is that it initially fooled me. Laden with charts, diagrams, and mathematical formulas, the document closely resembled many AI-related papers that I have read (and perhaps half-understood) over the past few years. I lacked the technical knowledge to discern that, as plausible as it may have looked in some places, the document was nonsense.

    and later on

    I shared the document he had sent me with a former ridesharing company engineer I know, and he pointed out various mistakes the whistleblower had made. Companies just don’t talk like this, or work this way, he explained. They run experiments and describe their findings in narrowly focused documents. They do not outline sinister plans for human exploitation and regulatory evasion in writing.

    So understandably, reporters do not have the knowledge and experience to tell legitimate documents from fakes, but those in the industry do. So why not just ask for expert opinions right away, well the answer is simple:

    The whistleblower, for his part, worked to amp up the pressure. He told me he had shared the document with other reporters, putting me into a competitive crunch. He asked when I thought I would publish.

    Those who are fabricating it understand that publishing it first matters to reporters. There is a time crunch that limits the ability to send it off to others to dissect the jargon that these documents use to obfuscate the nothingness of the document.

    from the social media age: you should always be at your most suspicious online when someone is baiting you into outrage.

    I have never heard of this quote before, but it is something more people should be paying attention to. I have been aware of manufactured outrage on the internet and try to steer clear of it (but it sometimes sucks me in). So this is something that I should try more to be aware of. But then the question becomes when does outrage become legitimate?

    As already mentioned, for the most part client side mods are all considered fair game except for xray (to find diamonds and other resources). Minimaps are quite common as you mentioned, with probably at least half the players using them. Litematica is less common, but still relatively common and the general consensus is that it is valid to use. Freecam is one that many (including myself) use, and that one depends more on how it is used. If you are using it to get different viewpoints of builds or to observe redstone that is totally acceptable. Even using it to figure out space underground to build would probably vary per person on if it is ok, but those who disagree would probably take the stance on them not doing it personally rather than advocating for getting kicked off the server. I know last season I used freecam for my house in town as it became an underground maze, to figure out if I had space to expand a room without running into something. I know some use the bridging mod (lets you place blocks similar to bedrock, makes bridging across gaps easier) and that would be in the list of mods that I would consider what I personally do not use but am fine with others using.

    The guiding principle is kind of does using it enable you to do something that cannot be done without a mod, then probably stray away from it, but if it just saves you time it is probably fine. Unless you are impacting other players, the more vanilla purist minded players might take the approach that it isn't for them but they are fine with others using clientside mods

    I think placing a transit hub (maybe secondary hub if we go with j0hn's 0,0 idea) where those starter farms are would be a great idea. Having a junction at storage would be doable, although I am unsure exactly where we want to place the storage transit stop, as it will probably get moved a 100 blocks or so once I make storage v2 but that will be in a month or two

    That would be really cool. It would also be easy to help people lost in the wilderness that as soon as they get one coord to 0 they would be on the transit system. Depending on where that is in relation to town, we may want a secondary hub in town that services the 0,0 hub, industrial district, and community storage

    I have added an input chest so feel free to deposit your items. The storage is located at -550, 80 (just west of town, follow the main road and it is just after the bridge). I will update filters as needed when others deposit items, but I have a pretty good baseline already thanks to @gravysleeve depositing a lot of random gear.

    Now that storage is operational, I may want to start getting a train line out to that area pretty soon. Has anyone decided on a location for the transit hub? Ideally I want a straight connection from town center to storage without any stops for convenience

    Community Storage V1 is operational. I do still need to set filters for a lot of items, and also the input chest needs to be moved. At the moment the most helpful thing is if people are wanting to use community storage, to message me when I am online, so that I can help set filters of new items

    So with my iron and bamboo farms working, I plan on now starting on the basic community storage. I have started laying out chests for it, and hope to get it up and running within the next week. At the moment, item donations that would be useful are food, quartz, redstone, and some more dirt (as I am making temp farms out of dirt). Donations would be best placed in the chests near my iron farm, as that is my current build spot. Right now my system has been to run into the community chests in town and pillage them as needed.

    I have started getting a vision of what I want the exterior for the final storage hall to be (although that is still at least a month or two until I start on that). I plan on putting it on the edge of this forest and style it similar to the Lake Louise hotel/Grand Budapest hotel. However, still a long ways away from fulfilling that vision

    So there are a variety of different things that will be needed for community storage, so you could even participate in a subsection. In kind of the order that things need to get done to fully complete it are:

    1. iron and bamboo farm. I finished the iron farm, and just need to tweak the bamboo farm to autocraft chests (and maybe make it bigger).
    2. copper golem temporary community storage
    3. witch farm (or other source of redstone and string)
    4. shulker farm
    5. temporary autocrafters for redstone components (mainly dispensers)
    6. build the final community storage
    7. build exterior shell of community storage (which I have rough ideas for already)
