    Agreed, although I still don't understand why it doesn't work on glass panes.

    We used Bluemap this past season, I forget what the mapping mod was called the first time around, but Bluemap ended up being far superior.

    Oh dang, I thought you were gonna build a nether city to mirror mine, that would've been cool. Maybe I'll think of a good way to incorporate the nether into my build. I could have the city's reactor core pulling energy from the nether. The only problem with that is I'd have to put a nether portal inside the reactor, and that won't be an ideal place to be traveling in and out of constantly. I'll have to ponder this further.

    You want to build in my nether region? Go for it, I didn't have plans for it anyway.

    some sort of data pack that allows me to place static, permanent particles (a la hypixel build battle) the same way I can place and tailor armour stands

    I'm interested in this, but searching hypixel build battle on YouTube didn't lead me to any videos with examples of this as far as I could tell. I'm curious if this is something I'd want too (I'm pretty sure I do).

    being able to add custom entity models to items

    I'd be interested to see what you do with that, I know a lot of the Hermits did custom model stuff this season. If we did have that as an option I'd probably find a reason to use it.

    From Hermitcraft season 10 I'd recommend Keralis, SmallishBeans, PearlescentMoon, Rendog, and BdoubleO100. They really made some amazing stuff this season. I also really like Tango's base, but he spent a considerable amount of his time this season working on redstone games, so probably not the best resource for learning building techniques.

    Edit: I forgot GoodTimesWithScar and Mumbo Jumbo! Mumbo in particular did some really cool stuff with the new buildstone ideas that have been circulating. His base has lots of animation using redstone like big fans and a blinking robot face.

    I'd be glad to have these as well!

    The custom nether portals just allow us to build nether portals in other shapes, I think it won't change much of the gameplay at all, just offering more freedom.

    The painting picker allows us to pick a painting using a stonecutter, I just think it is a convenient addition.

    I'd be glad to have these as well!

    I have big plans this season, maybe too big, but I was really inspired by this latest season of Hermitcraft. I plan to build a giant floating futuristic (cyberpunk-ish) city with an interactive shooting game minecart ride weaving throughout it. I also am working on a sewer labyrinth with some puzzles and parkour sprinkled in. The last few days I had a bunch of fun making different job robots to sprinkle throughout the city. The reactor core at the city's center should be pretty cool too. I'll post a teaser screenshot or two later. Having said all that, I agree it's a little earlier of a start than I'd prefer. I think the new year as creesch suggested would be preferable. That'll give me a little extra time to get some things figured out ahead of time that are more difficult than I'd like to do in survival (the bottom of the city will hopefully look like it's been ripped up out of the ground, still figuring out how to do it with Axiom and not need to use 100 million blocks to pull it off).

    Edit: I'm also planning to integrate animated armor stands throughout the city, kind of like I did with the Big Pig Bakery last server. I want them to wave as you pass by on the railline, or react when you solve a puzzle.

    Edit 2: Some screenshots! Spoilers! Basically I want to get the main structure planned out in advance with Axiom because trying to make a 300 diameter circle in the sky in survival without a plan sounded like a nightmare. Similar story with the sewer system, it's nice to be able to fly around and cut/paste different sections together to make the maze. The reactor and the robots were made to take a break from the tedium.

    I also would agree it might be a bit too soon to start again. I have big plans this time around, and I've just recently started doing some planning with the Axiom mod.

    Having been using Incendium in a single player world for a while, I don't feel like it actually adds all that much. I'd be in favor of keeping the standard nether if people want to use the roof.

    I also would really like to have hsrails, per the same linked discussion.

    The company said the 42-year-old would be replaced by his two deputies at the end of the year, while he remains on as executive chairman, setting long-term strategy for the firm.

    I figured that sandstone is a better material than sand for this as well.

    It definitely shouldn't be a block like sand that has gravity. Sandstone is a better option, but I'd advocate for a darker colored block that can blend in with more things aesthetically while also being relatively easy to obtain and unlikely to be used accidentally. Maybe Cobbled Deepslate?

    I was reading this section on slowdown blocks, so it's entirely possible I'm misunderstanding, but it seems like you could use them for what I want.

    Slowdown Blocks
    Configure special blocks that reduce minecart speed automatically.
    slow-down-parameters: enabled: true block1-material: "GRAVEL" block1-max-speed: 0.4 # 0.4 is a relatively slow speed block2-material: "SAND" block2-max-speed: 0.1 # 0.1 for extreme slowdown

    Edit: The overall goal is to hopefully have powered rails that don't boost you to their top speed, but rather a lower top speed. Imagine riding through the volcano with how fast some sections were, it would've been nice to slow down so you could take in the scenery more.

    Of the two, I'd prefer Enhanced Rails personally, for one reason in particular. I want to make rails go slower than default for my project and it seems hsrails doesn't let you do that, you can only go faster. Unless I'm reading Enhanced Rails description wrong, it seems that would be possible to have a half speed powered rail.

    TNT cannons are actually fairly simple to build and don't require too many resources to make it turns out. I can help out with any tunnel boring next server.

    I would also vote for underground, even though I know it's more work.

    I personally never watch trailers for movies I already know I want to see to avoid spoilers, so I love teasers that can let me know the movie is coming out soon without ruining anything for me. But this teaser is lame even by my standards, they could show a lot more than that and still tease us without spoiling anything.
