    Huge thanks to everyone who got the torrent working!

    I've been doing a lot of exploring of the map in Minutor, and have found a lot of really cool builds that I didn't know existed! Some are "ancient" ruins of defunct or unfinished builds, but I stumbled on the Escape Room by accident, and didn't realize what I was looking at until I was able to read the signs. There are so many more builds out there than I had realized! Kudos to everyone who contributed awesome, but unseen, constructions!

    Definitely count me in for next season, already pondering other villager village builds I might want to try. I'm looking forward to 1.21 and seeing what people have planned!
    Godspeed!

    I would vote for a new mostly vanilla world. I think most of the mods on the current server are great (mob heads, trees decay faster, etc.), and I'm excited for the next update!

    I think my wife might be interested in joining as well, if we can start from the beginning.

    A hot air balloon is one of the few things that I feel I can do a descent build of in minecraft! If we're on at the same time, I'll talk to you about balloon placement.

    Count me in for the hunt!
    I'd love to build a creeper statue and blow it up as a starter piston on the hunt. Not having any SMP experience, how much TNT is too much TNT? The statue could fit ~500 TNT on the inside, but I wouldn't want to crash the server during an event....
    Where would event start be? And I'll run some creative tests to see how large of a crater they blow so as to not damage anything nearby.

    As for future plans, I was going to build another villager village on the ithmus to the east of the trading hall, and have transport by piston boat back and forth between my two builds. Then, set up a fenced area near the trading hall and populating with villagers holding various protest signs:
    "We aren't just computer programs!"
    "Villagers are people, too!"
    "We deserve rights!"
    Ya, know: lies.

    I might go back to playing on a single player minecraft world that I played with my wife for a while. I had a decent village going, but the access to server farms here had greatly accelerated my progress. So, while I doubt I'll find another server as special as this one, I'll probably play some more SMP.

    Oh no! This saddens me, despite knowing it wouldn't last forever. This was my first ever SMP server, and I certainly won't forget it soon.

    I've really valued the time and courtesy that so many players put into this, and I'm going to miss the heck out of watching the dynmap every few hours to check on people's progress. The map download is going to be great, but what I really loved was seeing and talking with people that I recognized, and being able to see their amazing creativity, and share my meager minecraft skills with others. It's been a tough road being a stay-at-home dad, and this has served as some much needed distraction and semi-social time. A huge Thank You to everyone who contributed to this server being a welcoming, creative, and supportive place. (And a special shoutout to GravySleeve, who once logged on just to try and save me when he saw I was in trouble)

    Maybe someday I'll actually play on a world long enough to fully finish my village build. Someday.
