Briefly describe all your creations: well on the creative server so far we got a cat thingy, a space ship and an island turtle?
What world/s are the creations on: guest1/recruit1?/builder1
Links to screenshots of the creation:
Cat
space ship

Extra (Anything else you want to mention):Here's everything else I've made that I could find a screenshot for

potions suck, their duration sucks, them taking up a spot on my bar where i could have another building block sucks....

inconvenient and terrible concept

ya know what would be cool? if there was some kinda /effect command that let my apply a potion for any duration 

luckily vanilla creative minecraft comes equipped with just such a command!

unfortunately we currently don't have access to it......

i'm suggesting we should....

recruit/builder perk maybe?

arg1: "it's creative we don't need potions"
resp1: nightvision..... turns out building in the dark sucks, and spamming a night vision pot that lasts for an unreliable amount of time and takes up a spot in my inventory sucks....

arg2: "just donate for /ptime"
resp2: turns out the sun doesn't work underground.....

arg3: "just use a potion"
resp3: time consuming, annoying, takes up a spot i could have a building block, disrupt my creative flow, and there's a perfectly good vanilla creative mc command that allows me to apply an effect for any length of time avoiding this hindrance entirely, just need access to it

arg4: "we could make /effect a donation"
resp4: while i have nothing against supporting the server, it's a vanilla command and charging for vanilla things is iffy at the moment

arg5: "just download a hacked/modded client with perma brightness"
resp5: yea... doable but there's a convenient command built into mc already that saves me researching and downloading some sketchy 3rd party tool.....

arg6: "people will apply too long of an effect and be stuck with it requiring constant intervention"
resp6: drinking milk removes potion effects, also setting the /effect time to 0 or /effect clear will remove it.

arg7: "i know adjust your monitor settings so the brightness and gamma are really high!"
resp7: lol... no

looking to buy hundreds of stacks of dark oak logs, however many you have i need.

Paying: $100/per stack of dark oak logs

message me here or in game if you have some you'd like to sell

So, a while back mob culling was introduced as a way to remove/reduce server lag.

It was done because at the time people such as myself were stacking hundreds of villagers on a single block to make ridiculously fast spawning iron golem farms and having 100-1000 entities stacked on a block caused some extreme memory leakage.

However since then the spawning mechanics for golems have changed, so doing this has absolutely no effect on the spawn rates and really isn't a viable thing to do, so it seems the extreme culling has out lived it's usefulness.

On the other hand though there's things like cows and sheep which are viable to breed in a fairly wide area, to acquire large amounts of leather and wool, where they wouldn't be getting stacked on a single block causing lag, but still end up getting culled by the plugin when they walk to close together like their AI all to often likes to make them do.

Now there's certainly still some potential issues from things like egg farms where people may stack far too many chickens or idiots breeding 500 cows in a 4x4 space so removing the culling entirely probably isn't a good idea.

But I think at this point it's worth considering an increase in the amount of mobs allowed in a fairly small space to promote people gathering their own resources without having to worry about their animal setups disintegrating because the AI decided to huddle up.

here's a link to the post by cschurz describing the functionality:

at the time 6 mobs made sense because as nick so eloquently put it:

This plugin was made by opti with 2 things in mind, stop those ridiculous chicken farms, and to stop those ridiculous villager farms. Throttling mob spawners was just a bonus.

However given the outdated villager technique and the fact that egg farms are so compact they'd still get throttled anyway I think it's worth considering an increase from 6 mobs per 4x4 area. Personally I'd like to see it increased to 15-20 mobs which really isn't to much, and just to prevent them getting culled when I hold out wheat and they crunch together before separating, but even an increase to 10-15 mobs would make farming wool/leather a much more enjoyable experience.

Given the new circumstances it would be rather helpful to see this considered, even if only for a trial run. If memory usage spikes as a result by all means turn it back down. But at the moment I'm reluctant to start certain projects with the current difficulty of acquiring materials, so I'd appreciate your consideration on this matter, thanks.

Stock up early on all your Slimeball needs, with the release of 1.6 just around the corner Slimeballs are a required material in the creation of leads used for claiming horses, donkeys, and mules!

Item: 1 stack of Slimeballs
Price: 8000
Stock: 20 stacks

Post below with however many stacks you would like and i'll get them to you in game.
