    What, so you more easily spook me when I'm AFK!? Also, is there a setting for NEAR keyboard? I'm often folding laundry or working near my computer.

    There isn't a setting to disable FOV zoom?

    Thank you so much for this, it feels lived-in so much more now!! I do still want to add a farmer villager behind the counter, which could help newbies trade a few crops for emeralds or food starting out.

    I'm also still not in love with the nether roof portal location. I want it to be something that's quick to run to when you die and re-spawn at spawn, but I don't love that it's kinda the first thing a new player might see, and I don't want nether roof travel to be the default mode of travel for newbies (despite the amazing nether roof portal carpet map design, of course).

    I was thinking that the wool farm was a bit slow... I'd love to check on the sheep for it, but I have no idea where the guts of the farm are.

    Thank you for this, Bront! There's definitely been some confusion about options of where to go when new players start.

    To that end: I am actually continuing work on The Spawned Inn!
    I'd like to make the inn at spawn actually useful, both for new players, and server veterans.
    Current ideas:
    -Ender Chest
    -Stables
    -Map Room (start of spawn->town map already up!)
    -Villager or two to trade with/a farm to get items for trades
    -Free food/starting supplies
    -Nether Roof Portal (if one will fit - it's fairly tight up there)
    -Metro stop in the "mine" area

    So, what else to people think would be helpful when you start out? Or helpful when you just exit the end? Or helpful when you unexpectedly die with no spawn bed and find yourself naked and alone?

    The Perpetual Furnace is lit! Definitely still some beautification work to be done, and a few roads to divert, but a working product is now up and running!

    With the rainbow kelp farm, over-river kelp pipe, kelp processor, and fuel aqueduct now finished, the furnace in town has an absurd amount of fuel in it, and more flowing in all the time!

    So: Please use the furnace! Put as many smeltable items in as you can! No batch too small or too large!

    Would we be able to access the new wood type/biome on the current server? Since the world's pre-generated, there'd be nowhere for the new biome to generate, right?

    I just was recommended this the other day, and I, too, considered sharing it here. Great video that captures more of the simple core of what makes minecraft special!

    But in all seriousness, that blows hard, and I'm going to test a few old laptops I have around to see if one would be a real MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for you!

    This I feel is one of the actual useful and practical use of AI. Reduce the human workload, as a computer doesn't mind looking at millions of images and making guesses about them. Also, it's important that the results aren't blindly taken as gospel, and fed into some other system.

    AI as a labor saving tool, and not as a God to be worshiped.

    j/k on everything I've said. I just logged in again, and they've all reappeared, so either an anti-fire occurred, or they were just invisible before?

    I'm not sure how fire started in my storage room, but, otherwise, that hypothesis seems to fit all observations.

    The Perpetual Self-Fueling Super-Smelter is (technically) done! I wasn't able to finish the README, and I'm out of town until next Wednesday, but I wanted to let people know that it's usable.

    Currently, there is no kelp farm attached, so no more fuel is being added atm. However, there should be enough fuel already in the system to smelt about a full double chest of items. Please use it, and report any bugs!
    I'll start on the kelp farm next week, probably based on Mumbo's Season 7 kelp farm.

    I've always thought the nether roof was great for travel, but a blind, barren place. I was hoping to create more of a sense of place, and explicitly show the scale that at which you're traveling when you're up there. It does, however, require a butt-ton of wool. I was planning on building the 4 maps closest to spawn - I'm currently working on #2 of 4.

    So, in creative, I think I finally built a kelp processor that doesn't jam, doesn't waste (too much) fuel, uses all smokers (kind of) evenly, fits into the semi-chunk available at 5x10x8 (while leaving room for redstone to "turn on" the giant furnace), and, at full input capacity, should be able to continually power 12 furnaces.

    Trouble is, translating that over to the server is going to be difficult. Taking phone pictures of the device at different angles has proved to be ...inefficient. I've heard people talking about importing templates, or build plans, but I have no experience with anything like that. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice for correcting translating a complex redstone device into survival?
