Topic: Feedback wanted: How to keep our new players? Oh hey, only just noticed this topic!
Soul soil on rails doesn't really help *new* players -- instead, it's a perk for established players, ones who've been around long enough to get...
Topic: List your Nether builds! Not so much a "build" as a huge Laurasian Nether territory claim with useful resources -- even if in some cases the "resources" are as simple as open area suitable for fighting gha...

For those concerned about giving proper warnings, I've introduced tonight a new tool to let the staff give an official warning to troublesome ...
Topic: A discussion on bans On the topic of the actual question Doc asked... bans not necessarily lasting longer than a decade is definitely a thought worth considering. I personally have suffered under a ridiculous stigma from...
Topic: Feedback wanted: A better introduction to new players? Something that strikes me as the month wears on is that the number one thing that seems to blindside people who actually get through the registration process is our transportation methods. People who...
Topic: Feedback wanted: A better introduction to new players? For all Central's improvements, I feel like the Community Center is still terribly innocuous -- at a glance from a distance, just another stone brick building. Maybe abuse single-letter banner d...

I agree that a new introduction video could be worth it. It's a significant effort on my par...
Topic: Feedback wanted: A better introduction to new players? I note that an experience I had in Kenorland last night really struck me. A random visitor showed up and burrowed through the pyramid atop my base in order to enter it -- not as an attack, but as a c...
Topic: Feedback wanted: A better introduction to new players? It belatedly occurs to me that there's a relevant piece of tabletop RPG wisdom that could be applied here: the Three Clue Rule. Its most basic formulation is, "For every conclusion that you...
Topic: Feedback wanted: A better introduction to new players? EDIT: OK, was encouraged to go through the tutorial. Seems to cover a lot of things well, though I was surprised not to see coverage of things like replanting, a more extensive list of what constitut...
Topic: Noteworthy seeds In light of the announcement that flower biomes will have bees and beehives in 1.15, this seed seems suddenly relevant. You spawn in the middle of a jungle, which is already desirable due to bamboo b...
Topic: Noteworthy seeds The spawn island on this one is nothing special, but swim southeast and you'll find a mushroom peninsula surrounded by warm and lukewarm oceans.

Topic: Noteworthy seeds Here's a seed that even in normal-size gen is consistently snowy for a kilometer out from spawn. Ice plains, ice mountains, ice spikes, snow taiga, frozen ocean, and cold beaches. If that'...
Topic: Noteworthy seeds I know people like mesa seeds, so here's one! You just need to go west a bit. Even in normal-size gen, you get a roughly diamond-shaped mesa that's about 2000 blocks between opposing point...
Topic: All game servers updated to 1.14.4! I wasn't active enough to be paying attention when you first made the announcement concerning the player-deny regions, and the original post about them made the illustration sound like it lacked ...
Topic: Noteworthy seeds So, when 1.14.4 hit, I figured I'd try a singleplayer seed with large biomes... and got dumped into the middle of the ocean, with my bonus chest floating a block above the surface and no land in ...
Topic: Website improvements, including mobile The red one or the black one? The red one is only present on portrait orientation, but does toggle there. The black one is present in both but doesn't toggle in either case.

Topic: Website improvements, including mobile I apologize for not getting back to you on the requested screenshots of my issues; too much else has been on my mind. But this is what I've been seeing on my phone, and it hasn't particular...
Topic: New website generation, now supporting mobile! Sadly, it doesn't seem to work too well in my own Galaxy Note5's browsers (DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser and the default "Internet" browser that came with the phone). In portrait ori...
